NEWS
We are delighted to be able to announce that the Bishop of Newcastle has appointed Rev Rachael Dines to be priest in charge of our church, St Cuthbert's and our sister parish St John the Divine, Chevington.
Rachael (pictured her with her rescue dog Maya), will be joining us in early July.
Rachael writes,
“Having completed my theological training at Cranmer Hall, Durham, in 2016, I knew it was only a matter of time before God called me back to the wonderful North East. I am delighted to have been appointed as Priest in Charge of the Benefices of Amble and Chevington. I experienced the most joyful interview day ever, and I pray that this sense of joyfulness continues with my move from Norwich diocese to Newcastle diocese. Your prayers for the move and for those in my current parishes are appreciated.
I am excited to see what our faithful and loving God has for us all at the start of this new journey together.”
We look forward to welcoming Rachael to our parish.
A PRAYER FOR UKRAINE
God of peace and justice,
we pray for the people of Ukraine today.
We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons.
We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow,
that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them.
We pray for those with power over war or peace,
for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions.
Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear,
that you would hold and protect them.
We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
Amen​
This is a traditional Ukrainian icon of Christ which has been painted on the lid of a munitions box. This belongs to two parishioners, Peter and Mari, who have family living in Ukraine. Today’s gospel reading was of the transfiguration of Jesus. The ikon is a sacrament of the transfiguration of a munitions box into something beautiful and full of light and hope.
