News
Welcome Fr David!
We are delighted to announce that The Revd David Cleugh has been appointed as Interim Minister for Benwell and Scotswood Team Parish.
Bishop Mark will join us for Fr David’s licensing service this Sunday 27th September, 11.15am, at St James.
David has worked in a variety of different parish roles, each with multiple churches. He also spent some time as a Prison Chaplain in Durham. His most recent job was with two churches in Hebburn. He is married to Hannah and has a daughter Rosamund (3 and half) and a cocker spaniel called Eddie. He is very much looking forward to getting to know the wonderful, strong, and beautiful communities of Benwell and Scotswood.
Please keep David, Hannah and their family, and the people of Benwell and Scottswood parishes in your prayers as they prepare to begin this new chapter together.
Dee Humphrey
It is with great sadness that we announce that our much loved friend, Dee, passed away on Thursday 10th Sept. From Canada to Benwell, she brought joy to every room she entered.
Her funeral will take place on 2nd October, 12.45pm, at St John’s. There will be a service of Holy Communion and chance to celebrate her life.
May she rest in peace and rise in glory.
