We have added a new page giving details about Christians in other countries, who have asked the church for prayer. 

Eileen has produced a website especially for the church's building: http://www.wcoc.org.uk/index.html

The church has a copy of the Christianity Explored DVD so can offer courses in the church building or in homes for Soul, Alpha and Christianity Explored.  

A recent addition to the website - a link to GotQuestions.com which answers many Bible Questions and looks a good resource.  Worth a look, though of course we have not read every page ! 

July - Andrew, Ross and Steve enjoyed a week at the Keswick Convention, camping in the luxury of a large tent.  The week was both spiritually renewing and challenging with studies of Revelation 1-3 and 2nd Corinthians focussed on the theme of "overcoming".

9th May - on Sunday mornings we are beginning to study the New Testament letters in the probable order in which they were written, beginning with Galatians.

2nd May - Since the demise of Geocities the links to the church leaflets has not worked.  They are now all available again directly from this website at the Publications page.

In preparation for the New Year study of the Gospels, copies of "The Story of Jesus" compiled by M Douglas Clark have been purchased and an index produced, which is not in the book.

For the first time ever, the weather called a halt to worship on January 3rd when snow and glassy ice made travelling conditions unsavoury !

Back in July when Ross and Andrew went to Keswick, Andrew took panoramic photos of the standing stones.  These have finally been edited into one picture which you can see by clicking on the small version here:

The autumn fair on November 21st raised in excess of £300, well done to all

The coffee morning and sale on Saturday 24th October raised around £280.00 to be shared between charitable causes.

Members and friends visited Holy Island on Saturday 16th July.

and the surprise of the day was when Sandi found her friend Emily from Bethany church in Houghton - who had walked across from the mainland...  

In July Sandi, Andrew & Ross went to the Keswick Convention, enjoying the K2 (20s and 30s group), youth events and the main tent.  Andrew came back with lots of books.  Ross came back with flu and Sandi came back waterlogged as her campsite was about to be flooded by the river!  It rained... nothing new!

In June Ross and family attended a presentation at Auckland Palace where he was given a Certificate in Youth Work  by Tom Wright the Bishop of Durham.  Here he is, on the extreme right of the group.

We were blessed by the visit of Heather Thomas along with Steph Gibson in May and June.
