Appointment of our new Vicar
We recently announced the appointment of Revd Nigel Taylor, currently Team Rector of Kidderminster Ismere in the Diocese of Worcester. Although Nigel and Kate will be sad to be leaving Kidderminster where they have been settled for 7 years, Nigel felt a strong call to apply for the post in St Mary Monkseaton and they are both now excited at the prospect of a new adventure following that call. They look forward to meeting the congregation and people of the parish and becoming established in the community in another beautiful part of the country. We continue to pray for Nigel and Kate, and look forward to welcoming them into our church community.

Alison Rudd Organ Recital
We would love you to join us at St Mary's when there will be a wonderful organ recital by Alison Rudd on Sunday 11th September at 3pm. Alison is organist at Alnmouth and Lesbury churches and also plays at St Mary's when needed. Alison's programme includes music by J.S. Bach, Böhm, John Stanley, Franck and music from Norway and Northumbria. Admission to this concert is free, but there will be a retiring collection to support our Church and Concert Series. Please do still claim a free ticket, as this helps us to better prepare for the concert. There will be refreshments from 2.30pm.
