During June members of St. George’s Cullercoats branch took some Footsteps in Faith:
Two members attended Something Wonderful in Benwell, and were overwhelmed by the welcome and hospitality we received. The Eucharist was moving and uplifting. Well done to all who helped to make this such a special event.
One member went on to take footsteps in faith at the diocesan retreat.
Six of us caught the Metro to Sunderland. We walked along to the Minster where we were made very welcome. The stained-glass windows are glorious. We then walked to view the Knife Angel and found it very moving and thought-provoking.
The Knife Angel is a powerful sculpture displayed in Sunderland until 28 June, This awe-inspiring, 27-foot-tall statue, created from over 100,000 surrendered blades, serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of knife crime. there were also Workshops run by the Connor Brown Trust warning young people of the dangers as well as making sure they know what to do and where to go if they need help or advice if they or someone they know is carrying a knife.
