Join Zoom Meeting https://us04web.zoom.us/j/6501454284 Meeting ID: 650 145 4284 Reflection from Carmen Ward (posted 31.03.2020) Carmen has been thinking (mostly in the middle of the night!!!!) that it would be really nice to have something visula/tangible which we had all contributed to, to remind us of how we got thorugh this "season" (once we are through). She has wondered if we could put together a collection of worship songs or passages from the bible, or prayers (with comments as to why we have chosen them) and make some sort of creative craft work? If anyone has any ideas they would like to contribute, please send to Carmen or Lynne (email addresses and phone numbers in the directory, who will co-ordinate the project. All ideas gratefully received. Stuck for something to do? posted 31.03.2020 Why not get your creative juices flowing and make/knit items for the shoe boxes.

A shortened version live in the Zoom session on Sunday. Friday morning prayers for Prudhoe and the Tyne Valley (posted 27/03/20) I've shared a few times about the encouraging ecumenical prayer group that meets every Friday morning at 8.30 am to pray for Prudhoe and the Tyne valley. This is now meeitng on-line via Zoom, coordinated by Paul Revill. If you are now at home on Friday mornings and would like to join us, pass your email adress to Paul and he'll put you on the circulation list! Thought for the Day (posted 27/03/20) I was sent an encouraging vid today. One of the themes was that in the C-crisis, we need to be "informed," but what is "forming" us? Are we more focused on the secular news than the word of God at this time? May I encourage you to read Psalm 1 and Psalm 91, reflect on them and be encouraged! Plans for Lighthouse on-line (posted 27/03/20) Kathy Clegg is talking with Lighhouse leaders about potential on-line resources for Lighthouse children. Watch this space! Sunday mornings at SBC back up and running from this Sunday!! (posted 26/03/20) We will now we able to join together once again at 10am on Sunday mornings via "Zoom!" Zoom is free and easy to use, the host (me) sends you an email inviting you to worship, all you have to do is click on the link at the relevant time and you're in! This Sunday we will have some some encouragements from me, some reflections from Bill Clegg on our passage for the day Romans 6:15-23 (full sermon available on the website soon) and prayer by John Rook on Open Doors. The beauty of Zoom is that we will also be able to share together and pray together. To join together it's best for us to use a PC with webcam attached (stable and with an ethernet connection ensuring good connectivity to the net). Failing that a laptop or ipad sat near a router on wifi is fine. Smart phones are not great. I'll be sending round some Zoom training to the whole church so that we can all look at some vids to get clued up! If you like a trial run I'll be doing one Saturday morning at 10am if you want to join me and check your vid/audio is working. I'll send out invites by email for the trail run at 10am Saturday and also our gathering at 10am Sunday. Meeting on Sundays will look very different for the next 3-6 months and we should not be afraid of things not being perfect, especially at the start. Sunday will be a first attempt and we can develop things as we go! We are a church family making the best of a very difficult situation. Look forward to seeing you all on Sunday.

Call to fast (posted 20/03/20) We are encouraging as many of our people as possible to fast for one day next week from food and drink (bar water). This is a sacrificial act to seek the Lord together in challenging times and seek a move of His Spirit to defeat this virus.
