We forgot to take any pictures at Storybook Church today!

But we did think about the Lord's Prayer, and the kinds of things we might pray for, and finger prayers, and make prayer dice.

And we did some lovely singing, and had some birthday chocolate cake!

Next Storybook Church will be on 12 July.

Congratulations to our churchwardens Judith and Simon, who were sworn in by Archdeacon Rachel at the visitation service at St John's Killingworth yesterday evening.

Thank you to both of them for all that they do, seen and unseen, in leading in the life of our parish.

Please pray for God's blessing on them in their work over the coming year.

Today is the Feast of the Ascension.

Forty days after Easter, we celebrate Jesus ascending to heaven, drawing humanity into the life of God.

Join us at 7.30pm for a sung eucharist, followed by some festive refreshments.

Then, with the disciples, we wait for Pentecost and the coming of the Holy Spirit.

Today marks one year since St Peter’s Monkseaton received our Silver Eco Church Award — and this year the anniversary falls on Rogation Day, when traditionally we give thanks for creation, the land, and all that sustains us.

Over the past year we’ve continued caring for our church grounds and local wildlife, introduced blister pack recycling which has already diverted around 30,000 packs from landfill, and installed a swift box on the church hall.

Thank you to everyone who continues to help us care for God’s creation in practical and hopeful ways.
