Matfen Jean Conteh It’s been a quiet Easter Sunday, with meeting outdoors not made easy by the bitter wind, but I hope you were able to get together outside with someone you may not have been able to meet for a long time. Things are slowly getting back to normal, and one sign of that is that the churches in Stamfordham and Matfen are now open every day again, from 10 am to 4 pm. You are very welcome to pop in any time during those hours. It’s hoped that Ryal church will also be able to open again soon.
Sarah Hallberg St Peter’s, Falstone, needs help from all knitters in the North Tyne area. The church would like to have a large display of knitted poppies for Remembrance Sunday 2021, and it has wool and patterns available for anyone who would like to contribute. Please contact Jill Swaile if you would like to get involved on alanswaile@aol.com or 01434 240168. The annual subscription fees for The Meeting of the Waters (the North Tyne and Redesdale’s Parish magazine) are now due, and the annual fee of just £6.50 will get you 11 issues per year. Please contact Jill Swaile for further info.
