EVENTS
The 'World Day of Prayer' 2025 refers to an annual international day where women from various Christian denominations gather to pray together, focusing on a specific theme chosen by women from a particular country; in 2025, the theme is "I Made You Wonderful" based on Psalm 139. Here are some images of the World day of prayer display that was in church from Friday's Service written by the women of the Cook Islands.​
SCAFFOLDING
Sheridan is having a bad day. Her church is closing, Adult Social Care are on her case, and she can’t work out what ingredients she needs from Homebase to make a bomb. With no one else to turn to, she climbs the scaffolding around the leaking church steeple with a few questions for Whoever Is In Charge. (See more.)

STEEL
Two lads. Twelve hours. One million pounds.
On the wet West Cumbrian coast, James and Kamran have been mates for more than a decade. At seventeen, the world should be theirs but Workington’s a ghost town an unemployment blackspot where lasses drink Bacardi by the pint and boys don’t cry.
​
When James discovers he is heir to a single mile of the British railway system, the lads are forced on a town-wide treasure hunt, but who rightfully owns the mile of steel? Why is Kamran in such a strop, and what really happens in the pub down by the docks?

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.
