We use the Daily Prayer App and pray for the world, our parishes and other hings that need our prayers. All are welcome to join us, whether you have prayed like this before or not. It is a great way to start the week
Just search for the Daily Prayer App in the iphone App Store or in the Play Store on Android.
The way in to this service is through the small door on the left of the church as you are looking from the street.

We are a happy friendly bunch of ladies, who meet every Monday afternoon at St Alban's between 1pm -3-30pm. We knit, sew,
embroider and cut out for toddler crafts. Best of all we put the world to right. Some of our ladies just come for the social side,
cup of tea,coffee,biscuits and sometimes cake. We share our ideas, helpful if anyone has problems with their craft, and words of comfort when needed.
Our stall at the Christmas Fayre had lots of articles made by our ladies all donated, with money going to church. If you are sitting at home bored or lonely, come along, we would love to see you. It doesn’t matter if you don’t do craft,come for the company and a good natter. All this for a £1 donation much cheaper than Costa Coffee!

All are welcome at the Place of Welcome that happens each Tuesday in St Johns, you will be sure of a warm welcome, drinks, biscuits, cakes (often home made) and home made soup.
We have people who come early and share a coffee and a slice of cake, others who come and stay all morning and then those who come just for their lunch.
All are welcome to join us.
We now have 2 spaces set out for this as the kitchen can occasionally become too full - so if you are someone who wants a quieter space that is on offer as well.
On the last Tuesday of the month at 10.45am we have a time of prayer through our Celtic Worship service which happens in the other small room or in church - all are invited to come along or to stay in the kitchen or back room.
If you have not been along yet do pop in - Shirley and Veda will almost always be on hand to make you a cuppa and serve you cake and soup. Other members of the congregation are often there as well, joining in the conversations, lending an
ear to a problem or sorting out something in church. We often have a member of clergy there as well - so if a chat with them would be helpful just let them know.
If you know someone who is lonely, recently bereaved or just in need of a friend why not bring them along a few times

We aim to make worship accessible to all: and all are welcome. Our worship is lively and maintains an informality throughout.

We offer worship for all ages. Never worry that your children may be a bit noisy – you and they are welcome, and we offer children’s activities as part of our main service as the adults explore how the Bible’s wisdom can address the challenges of our time.

Messy Church
It’s church, but not as you know it.

Come and join in our Messy Harvest through stories, crafts and sharing food together.

Wear clothes suitable for outdoor games.
Bring a can or packet of food to send to Gateshead Foodbank.

Messy Church is a way of being church for families and others. It is Christ-centred, for all ages, based on creativity, hospitality and celebration.

The third Sunday of every month is special at St Albans, we worship all together as a church family with the church all set up in cafe style tables. There are always activities to do on the tables as well as discussions and time to talk to each other.

These services are great if your new as they are very relaxed and feel different to other Sunday services.

Not only is there fun and chat there is also food! Half way through we share tea and coffee as we have a discussion.
After the service we invite everyone to stay for a shared lunch where people bring food for a shared table (no nuts please). We begin to eat at about 11.45am.

It is also the Sunday when some of us bring Pot Noodles to be given out to the homeless through the Oasis Community Housing drop in
