Pilgrims'
Housegroup
'Pilgrims' is a group which began, like the Bowler's house group, at the
end of a Lent Group, when some of us decided we would like to continue our
journey as Christians together. We meet twice a month on the 1st and 3rd
Monday to do some Bible study, to have some prayer, and to share. Some of
the original members are no longer with us, but others have joined us. We
have used a variety of materials on which to base our study and discussion.
We have recently been using 'Looking and Longing' by David Adam.
We begin and end with prayer. The evening includes refreshments (coffee
& tea etc and biscuits). Sometimes we have a purely social evening.
We would warmly welcome anyone who would like to join us at 21 Glencoe
Avenue.

St.
Nicholas' Craft Group
St. Nicholas Craft Group consists of a
small number of ladies who share a love of creating craft items, and who meet
up on the first Wednesday of each month, in the home of one of its
members. Since the Group was formed, we have undertaken the
refurbishment and creation of many items in Church, including altar
frontals and covers, piano backs, banners, and kneelers. We have
worked on items to assist fund raising have raffled proggy
mats, wool rugs, patchwork duvet cover and quilts, and had a great deal of
fun recycling church candle stubs. Craft materials are often donated
and so we search out ideas for making the best use of these. We are
keen to learn about new crafts and would welcome new members to share their
skills. If you would like to know more about our group please contact
Mary Murray.

The
Sanctuary Guild
The Sanctuary Guild is a large group of friendly and dedicated flower
arrangers, comprising church members and arrangers from Cramlington Floral
Art Club. We are divided into five teams and decorate the church for weekly
services and for weddings. Members enjoy creating floral displays to
enhance the beauty of the church building especially for Easter, Harvest
and Christmas when the whole group work together as one team.
We organise a
biannual Flower Festival which is aimed at attracting visitors into St
Nicholas church to share the richness of our faith. The Sanctuary Guild
tries to care for and support group members in many ways, which go beyond
the practicalities of arranging flowers. For us, flower arranging is a form
of worship; a gift we gladly use in the service of Christ.

Friday
Fellowship
The Friday Fellowship meets once a month on the first Friday of each month
at 2.00pm at the Parish Centre. We commence with a short service, either
Communion (once every three months) or Evening Prayer with Bible readings,
lasting approximately 30 minutes. After the service we all enjoy a
fellowship faith supper where we can discuss anything and everything. A
welcome is extended to new members and transport is available if required,
a list of venues is published in the Parish newsletter.
