CELEBRATION
On Sunday, after the service, we decided to celebrate with a lovely array of cakes, made by some very clever members of our congregation, and of course our yummy coffee from Mocha Mondo - Martin's!
The reason for the celebration? To thank all the retired clergy and others who have been running the church in our vacancy and also the fact that Mac has retired as our Church Warden. We couldn't let that occasion slip by without recognition as Mac has been our church warden for the past 35 years!! We presented Mac with a certificate confirming his honorary title of ‘Church Warden Emeritus’. This was decorated, as you can see, with images from our lovely stained glass windows at the back of Church.

All Welcome.
Behold The Coat of Hopes
The Coat of Hopes is a patchwork coat that is on an ongoing walk through Britain. Made, worn and walked by hundreds of people during and since its pilgrimage from the south coast of England to COP 26, the UN climate summit, in Glasgow.
The Coat is made up of pieces of blanket into which people have worked their griefs, remembrances, prayers and hopes for the place they call home. It carries an invitation to share our love and responsibility in facing this climate and ecological emergency.
​
The Coat of Hopes came here to Amble.
