Parish Goings On
Please come for a coffee and a chat and support our Macmillan Coffee Morning on Friday 19th September at 10:30am in Church.
The 21st September is International Day of Peace.
Swalwell Church will be open the day before, Saturday 20th September between 10:30am and noon for quiet prayer and reflection. You’re warmly invited to come in, light a candle, and spend a few moments holding our world, our community, and our loved ones in a prayer for peace. Bring a symbol of peace to hang on our Peace Tree. Join us for a special service on Sunday morning.
All are welcome.
Our new gas boiler and solar panels are all installed and working well.
Lite Bite returned on Monday 1st September at 11:30am. Welcome back everyone..!!!!
Sunday 5th October is our Harvest Service at 9am where we give thanks for God’s good gifts to us. Traditionally we respond by bringing the fruits of our harvest as a thanksgiving. Practically we bring a gift of produce which we take to the People’s Kitchen in Newcastle for those in need. This year will be the same but in the afternoon between 2pm and 4pm we’re also holding a Harvest Messy. Look out for details on Facebook.
Our new Rector will be officially in place from the 19th October.
His induction service will be in St Mary’s Whickham on that day at 3pm. All are welcome.
The following Sunday the 26th October, James will begin his ministry in Swalwell Church and to acknowledge this new beginning, the Archdeacon will lead a special Holy Communion Service beginning at 9am.
It would be great to have a large congregation to welcome James and his family.
Please look out for other announcements and further information on our Facebook page.
