Coastland Churches

So wonderful to welcome friends from across the Alnwick Deanery to St Michael and All Angels', Howick to celebrate Creation. 😊

We heard about the impact of climate change on the environment both close to home and further afield and it was a pleasure to welcome Rev Tim Mayfield as our guest preacher. 🌳

Despite all the challenges the planet faces, we pray for the renewal of creation and of ourselves and we acknowledge our calling to sow seeds of hope for the world. 🌱

Almighty God,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

Everlasting God,
you sent the gentle bishop Aidan
to proclaim the gospel in this land:

in simplicity, humility, and love for the poor;

who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

Almighty God,
who called your Church to bear witness
that you were in Christ reconciling the world to yourself:
help us to proclaim the good news of your love,
that all who hear it may be drawn to you;
through him who was lifted up on the cross,
and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

Diocese of Newcastle, Church of England

Almighty and everlasting God,
you are always more ready to hear than we to pray
and to give more than either we desire or deserve:
pour down upon us the abundance of your mercy,
forgiving us those things of which our conscience is afraid and giving us those good things
which we are not worthy to ask
but through the merits and mediation
of Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

Why not take a day to head up to Holy Island?
Explore the island and drop in to see some of Mo’s handmade books and other artwork.

Almighty God, who looked upon the lowliness of the Blessed Virgin Mary
and chose her to be the mother of your only Son:
grant that we who are redeemed by his blood
may share with her in the glory of your eternal kingdom;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

We are looking forward to our visit from The Nearly Full Stottie. Hope you can come to hear them on 12th September in our beautiful Listed Grade I Church. Pay on the door.

This Saturday we look forward to gathering for Picnic Church on Alnmouth Beach. Picnic Church is a multi generational service that is informal and participatory. All are welcome to join in. Remember to bring your own snack to enjoy afterwards.

O God, you declare your almighty power
most chiefly in showing mercy and pity:
mercifully grant to us such a measure of your grace,
that we, running the way of your commandments,
may receive your gracious promises,
and be made partakers of your heavenly treasure;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
