Diocesan Day
Saturday April 20th dawned bright and sunny, perfect weather for our spring meeting. For once, my dream that diocesan members attending would outnumber Trustees attending was realised! We were also joined by one or two valued visitors.
Opening prayers were led by Rev Ruth Stradling our new curate at St Nicholas South Gosforth, our venue, herself a new M.U. member.
Our speaker was Canon Barbara Packer with her presentation on M.U. Overseas. This gave us an international perspective, we often forget that we are a worldwide organisation.
Rev. Diana Macnaughton, herself a diocesan member led Midday Prayers, followed by our light lunch which seemed to be enjoyed by all.
