Something Wonderful in Benwell Diocesan Festival 2024

From our President, Margy

To all MU and Something Wonderful in Benwell.
It really was a very special day and as I wrote to Bishop Helen Ann , when like minded people meet together the companionship and camaraderie makes for a most memorable day.
Thank you all.


From our VP Northumberland: (abridged)

'Well “Something Wonderful” did happen and does happen in Benwell and those 100 or so members travelling from North, East and West will all agree with this as we had a wonderful day.

Our Faith and Policy Unit Coordinator Jackie Moore led a large number of us in Midday Prayer, which we appreciated, in the Sanctuary, a quiet place.

Chaplain Rev Anne Marr among other things had been busy and there were lots of MU print outs to take away and an Area displaying our new venture “Footsteps in Faith”. Four of our banners were displayed at different places.

It was lovely to have our Bishop Helen-Ann with us and she got the job of drawing raffle tickets before she led the service of Eucharist,which was put together by Rev Chris Minchen, Leahan and team

Folks I talked too afterwards really enjoyed the service and their different day. Nancy (94) was emotional and said that she had been inspired by it

Leahan and your members together with others we thank you for giving us a memorable day

Anne Blight VP Northumberland Archdeaconry
