“PARENTING”
During the lockdown, we started a short worship service on Sundays at 4pm called Bright River Chapel, ‘an online gathering from Alnwick’*. People join in online, via zoom or facebook, not only locally, but from further afield as well. It has been a joy to fellowship together with dear friends in different parts of the country. If you are local to us, you are welcome to join us as part of the broadcasting/ worship team each Sunday. (*email
