A prayer for those who served and died in the Second World War O God of truth and justice, we hold before you those men and women who have died in active service, particularly in the Second World War, whose sacrifice brought Victory in Europe. As we honour their courage and cherish their memory, may we put our faith in your future; for you are the source of life and hope, now and for ever. Amen.

We are excited to announce that our new electrical heating system has been installed. We are very grateful for grants from the Ray Wind Fund, Northumbria Historic Churches Trust, the Benefact Trust and the Barbour Foundation which have enabled us to start this work as planned. The church is now open for Sunday services and for visitors during the week.
