LENT CHARITY COLLECTION– This year we are supporting that worthwhile charity WATERAID as our Lenten collection. “Join Jars of Change, give up something for Lent and donate the money you save to give clean water to communities for the very first time.” Please find yourselves a jam jar or two, and begin to fill it up with your small change! We will collect up the jars at Easter and send the money off all together from our Parish. Labels will be available from the back of the churches for your jars, plus information about the charity. See www.wateraid.org.uk

Are you thinking about what you might give up for Lent?

Giving up chocolate or alcohol might be good for your health, but maybe you’d like to try something different… You may remember last year our Bible Study group, ‘After Sunday’, decided to give up one item for each of the 40 days of Lent to give to the Alnwick District Food Bank, which covers our Coquet Valley. We managed to accumulate an impressive car load which was gratefully received by the Food Bank, so we’d love you to join us this year.  If 40 items would be too much, even one item for each week of Lent would help.  You could drop your items in at Harbottle School or ring me (650385) or Susan Rogerson (650390) to arrange collection.

Organ Scholar

The beautiful, musical, creative parish of Upper Coquetdale, Northumberland, seeks an organ scholar to promote and stimulate church music and to enjoy playing our newly restored (by Goetze and Gwynn 2016) 1866 fine, two-manual Hill organ.
