Events in other parishes of the Bellingham Deanery and beyond...
Our beautiful Abbey church is, of course, well known as a place with a long Christian history, stretching back to Wilfrid, and including many other fascinating people - such as Ethelreda, Acca, and Aelred. In his new book, Northern Saints in Holy Places, Gavin Wakefield retells the stories of these, and other people and places across north east England, to help us deepen our own journeys of faith. I have known Gavin for many years and am delighted that he is going to come to the Abbey to share his passion about this with us.
I warmly invite you to an evening exploring the pilgrimage landscape in which the Abbey sits and to be inspired to see how your own story connects with God’s bigger story! Following a talk from Gavin, and a time for questions and discussion, the evening will conclude with Compline.

Some members of Bellingham Deanery attended the Webinar about this earlier in the year, and we are giving a local presentation about heaven field and the St Cuthbert Three Churches Trail as part of the morning.
