Ascension Day Service and Supper

Ascension Day - Thursday 29th May 2025

A service of Holy Communion was held at All Hallows' Church presided over by Rev'd Keith Teasdale.  In his address Keith spoke about the meaning of Ascension Day, the period between the resurrection and Jesus ascending into heaven. A time when Jesus prepared his disciples to go out into the world and begin their ministry

At the end of the service Keith released a red balloon which rose to the rafters of the church whilst the congregation reflected on the Ascension of Jesus.

The service was followed by a fundraising supper served in the Church Room. This was a very sociable and enjoyable event.

Thank you especially to Anne, Carol and Alf for making this a very special evening. Thanks are also due to all who helped with the organisation (Philippa's lemon puddings are delicious) as well as all who supported the event and donated so generously.

Class Act Murder Mystery

Indeed it was a Class Act!!!

The Over the Wall Players superbly performed the murder mystery play 'Class Act' this weekend in venues packed to capacity, Greenhead and Bardon Mill Village Halls respectively. A new addition to the group is the sound technician, Mr Malcolm Barnes. 

The drama began with the appointment of a new bursar (Adrian Storrie) at the school, who rocks the steady and somewhat colourful lives of the staff.

The subsequent death of the bursar from poisoning puts all staff under nvestigation.

Who is the culprit? Is it the PE teacher, could it be the headmistress, the science teacher, the lab technician or another member of staff? All could have a motive.

Following a very nice supper the audience had the opportunity to question the suspects and make their decision as to who is the culprit. Difficult! They all, in many different ways, could have had their own motive.

The evening included a raffle, a quiz, and a prize was awarded for the best dressed in the theme of the play. ( the best schoolboy prize was awarded to the Reverend Keith Teasdale)

This was a very enjoyable event. Thank you to all the Over the Wall players and to all those who worked so hard to make this such a successful event.

ADDENDUM

Adrian handed over a donation of £200 to Beltingham with Henshaw PCC at the meeting on 22nd May 2025. Many thanks, this is greatly appreciated.

Easter 2025

 Our Easter Sunday Service today was led by Reverend Keith Teasdale. In his sermon, Keith spoke about how Easter was a time of hope for the future and about the miracle of new life. The congregation enjoyed singing many  well- known Easter hymns, accompanied on the organ by Nigel Clayburn. After the service, most people gathered together for coffee and everyone was given a little chocolate egg to take home.
