Elsdon: St Cuthbert

Welcome to St Cuthbert's in Elsdon - we are glad you found us!

The church is open to visitors every day (usually 9am-5pm) as a quiet place for contemplation, prayer and exploration.  St. Cuthbert's has a long and interesting history, details of which can be found as you go around the church. The oldest stone is from Roman times, with Saxon burial stones, medieval building works from 12th century onwards, and Victorian alterations creating a complex building that speaks of the long Christian history of our area. For full details see the 'History of St Cuthbert's Church' in our 'News' section.

All are very welcome to join our communion service at 6pm on the first Sunday of every month, and to the various events detailed in the 'What's On' and 'News' sections.  We look forward to welcoming you.

Bellingham Churches Together Lent Study Group starts on 22nd February in the Methodist & URC (MURC) Church on the main road through Bellingham.
Lent is a good time for us to reflect on the infinite bounty of God's creation and how we respond to this great gift. This Lent season we will be doing just that as we study Saying Yes to Life by Ruth Valerio.
As people made in the image of God, we are entrusted to look after what God has made – to share in the joy and creativity of God in making a difference for good. Ruth Valerio imaginatively relates the themes of the Creation story to matters of environmental, ethical and social concern to explore what it means to be human and, in particular, to be a follower of Jesus during Lent.
Why not buy a second hand copy of the book from Wob (www.wob.com) and join us? You will be warmly welcomed.
