Collect for the Year of Seeking


Almighty God, in your Son, Jesus Christ, you meet us and call us to seek your kingdom above all else: grant, that by the power of your Holy Spirit, we may be sustained and strengthened in our common task of seeking your will and your way; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

Amen

 

Some sad news

Br Harold died peacefully just before midnight on Wednesday 2 October.


St Mary’s has had a long association with Br Harold. In the 1980’s he shared with us his vision for a community alongside the Hermitate, called Shepherds Law. St Mary’s enabled the raising of funds to build four cells that are used regularly. Shepherds Law is a unique place where people can seek peace, contemplation and prayer in today’s busy world. 


Please pray Br Harold’s vision will continue to grow in the beautiful hills of Northumberland.   

 

May he rest in peace and rise in glory

St Mary’s 100 Club 2024/25


 

St Mary’s will be delighted if you will now join or re join the scheme. Monies raised this time will go towards our new windows.

 

For £25 a year you are entered into twelve monthly draws with the chance of winning £50, £30 and £20 or in December £100, £50 or £30. To save disappointment perhaps it is better to consider it a donation and enjoy the surprise if you win.

 

All you need to do is transfer £25 using online banking to St Marys 100 Club, Sort Code 20-62-09 Account No. 53160653. Alternatively, drop off a cheque made payable to St Marys 100 Club or even cash. Please post or deliver either to me at 61 Brierdene Crescent, Whitley Bay, NE26 4AD or to church. (Should it be required the letter box is in the north door.)

 

I would appreciate if existing members could send me an email or text confirming payment. If you are a new member, I will need your name and address. A contact email address or phone number would be useful too so that I can confirm receipt and deliver your winnings to your home!

 

With thanks

Mat 11/19


On 15th October at 7.30pm we are starting a new venture in the Kittiwake pub on Whitley Lodge. We will be holding a discussion Group looking at current issues from a Christian perstpective. Anyone is welome to join for a glass of refreshment and a chat around the table. Speak to Nigel or Claire if you would like more information.


 

Holiday Club Loan of Items


For the Summer Holiday club themed 'The Olympic Games', we were loaned a number of items. Some of these items are still in the office awaiting collection including tennis rackets and balls and welsh flag. If they are yours could you let us know if you want them returned or if we can put them to the Autumn Fair?


 

Christian Meditation Course


There will be a Christian Meditation course running at St Paul’s Church in Whitley Bay starting on the afternoon of 11 October at 2.30pm. The course builds on the teaching of John Main giving practical guidance on Christian Meditation. I have attached a leaflet which explains the background to this form of silent prayer in the heart.

There are 6 sessions:-

 

11/10/2024  Week 1 What is Christian Meditation?

18/10/2024 Week 2 John Main

25/10/2024 Week 3 The Roots of Meditation in the Christian Tradition
