Newcastle Diocese Prayer for 150th Anniversary Year 2026
Lord of Light and Life we thank you for the vision of Mary Sumner for 150 years of The Mothers' Union and for all the members who have come and gone over this time. Though diverse in many ways, we are one in our desire to bring to others the comfort and hope, that should be felt by everyone. Fill us with your Holy Spirit that we may live in the ways of Mary Sumner, with compassion and commitment. Be our beacon of light as we journey on, and help us to spread love, joy and peace throughout this Diocese and across the world; in Jesus' name. AMEN.
Refreshments were served following the service.

An evening of fun and entertainment organised by the Over the Wall Players drama group was held at Bardon Mill Village Hall.
The first half of the evening included music from 'The Rusty Buskers', an interesting rendition of 'There's a hole in my bucket' from Diane and Keith(an award winning performance from Diane!) as well as contributions from other members of the group.
The play, 'A tale of Bellister Hall' was about a rehearsal for a radio programme. Is the group ready to go live on air or is another rehearsal needed?
The evening included a raffle, a quiz, and a very nice supper. Thank you to the Over the Wall Players and all those who worked so hard to make this such a successful event.
