  • “We Exist to Receive and Share the Love of God”
    “We exist to receive and share the love of God” Thank you to everyone for your support and prayers as I continue on this physical journey of 309 miles and we spiritually journey together in prayer to Lindisfarne. I have been very grateful for the prayerful support of those whose holy sites I have visited this week. At the end of last week I had physically walked to and prayed around along Leeds Road/Lees New Road, around Piethorne and Ogden Reservoirs, Strinsedale Reservoir, Tandle Hills and Healey Dell. I walked a total of 17.29 miles bringing the total walked to 221.06 miles. I started last week spiritually walking towards Durham Cathedral, one of my favourite places and then continued on towards St Peter’s Monkwearmouth which is now just 3.84 miles away. This week I have physically walked and prayed along Lees New Road, Alt Hill Lane and the Oldham to Ashton Greenway cycle path, the Ashton to Oldham Greenway Cycle Path to Alexandra Park and back, Knot Hill Reservoir, Hollingworth Lake and Hurst Cemetery. As the new week begins…I spiritually reach St Peter’s Monkwearmouth and go on to arrive at St Paul’s Jarrow and Newcastle Cathedral, and begin the journey to St Cuthbert’s Bedlington which is now just 4.31 miles away. I hope that you will continue to walk with me on this spiritual pilgrimage and that you will make use of this booklet in your prayer over the coming week. A blustery and breezy start on #HurstVirtualPilgrimage this morning as I set out at 5.30am but amazing clouds as the sun begins to illuminate them.

    Education Caring schools give something back to the community by helping Sunderland Foodbank Schools are preparing for their latest foodbank collection as they continue “giving something back to the community”. By Gavin Ledwith Monday, 14th October 2019, 16:45 pm Updated Monday, 14th October 2019, 19:12 pm The five schools comprising Sunderland’s Inspire Multi Academy Trust have urged staff, pupils and their families to support their campaign in aid of Sunderland Foodbank. From Monday, October 21, donations will be collected at Farringdon, New Penshaw, Burnside, Fatfield and Plains Farm primaries during the final week of the current half-term. It will the second time the schools have held their appeal after a foodbank van was left “bulging at the seams” during the summer term. The idea was initially hatched by Plains Farm Academy, in Tudor Grove, Plains Farm, which began its own collections on the last Friday of every month as part of well-being days. Enter your email Sign up Sign up to our daily newsletter The school has since formed a partnership with the foodbank and visited its premises, in Coronation Street, in the city’s East End, to learn more about its work. Plains Farm headteacher Lesley Cassidy said: “It is all about the school giving something back to the community. “Some of the parents here access the services at the foodbank as do parents at other schools within our trust. “We have also visited the foodbank to learn about its work and so that the children understand that the people who use it are no different to anyone else.” September’s collection at Plains Farm meant the foodbank was able to provide 132 meals for its users.

    E I D Why the S The Titian IN Olympics give work you us something really must see to celebrate p10 p12 THE SUNDAY, AUGUST 12, 2012 No: 6138 www.churchnewspaper.com PRICE £1.35 1,70j US$2.20 CHURCH OF ENGLAND THE ORIGINAL CHURCH NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1828 NEWSPAPER Olympic welcome for Christian work CHRISTIAN GROUPS reported an enthusi- astic response to the different forms of ministry offered during the Olympic Games. An Olympic double-decker ‘praise bus’ that travelled 8,500 miles throughout Britain ahead of the Olympic torch was seen by over 1 million people during its 65- day journey. It contained over 100 musi- cians playing Christian music and was the brainchild of a Methodist Church near Lands End. ‘More than Gold’, a charitable trust established in 2008 with Lord Brian Mawhinney as chair, has urged churches to offer hospitality as well as outreach. It encouraged churches to run hospitality centres near where visitors to the games would pass or gather. Some churches set up giant screens where people could see the Games. Victoria Park Baptist Church reported large numbers coming to see the screen. St John’s, Hampton Wick, handing out bottled water and hot dogs to spectators at the Women’s Cycle race was just one of a number of churches offering refreshment during the games. ‘More than Gold’ set a target of distributing over 1 million cups of water. Around 300 volunteers are serving as Games Pastors at major Olympic transport hubs offering visitors support and help. “Sometimes it is as simple as helping someone make sense of UK money so they have the right change for the loo,” said Mike Freeman MBE, Operations Manager of the Games Pastors Team.
