The Companions of St Aidan and ordained folk who have a real heart for mission in their communities. It would be a community of people who are determined to reach out in new and dynamic ways and yet want also to connect to the Diocese and the wider Church. The Woodhorn Hosting (5th June 2016, 3.00pm— 8.00pm) is the first open meeting for any who would like to share in the creation and design of the Companions. Places are limited but we are keen to welcome all who have a heart for community mission and want to help the Companions move from an idea to a reality. To book a place and join us for the Hosting contact Archdeacon Geoff Miller on 0191 273 8245 or [email protected].

Last year the Church of England’s Renewal and Reform programme inspired a whole series of meetings across the Diocese. Towards the end of these meetings there emerged the germ of an idea - the creation of a mission order working throughout the whole diocese inspired by St Aidan. We gave this idea a working title: the Companions of St Aidan. Many have been energised by the possibilities that the initiative could bring and have been asking ‘How can I become part of it?’ The purpose of the Companions of St Aidan would be to bring together, encourage, network and mobilise lay

“I understand the huge burden of responsibility he has on his shoulders’’, he says. “ They earn a pittance and this is all they have to buy food, medicines and pay for the younger children’s education. I hate to think what would become of them.

Parentless not powerless, Kasiita and his younger brothers and sisters were orphaned five years ago when he was 15 and the youngest just two years old. Kasiita’s been teaching them to dance and drum so they can hire themselves out for weddings and celebrations and the older children also labour on neighbouring farms. But it isn’t enough. Payment is often a single plate of food or a few coins - they are barely scraping a living.

“But together, I know we can restore hope for Kasiita’s family and many other orphaned households like theirs.” Just £156.25 will fund five families for the first month of this five year project. You will enable them to plant fast-growing vegetables, which they can be eating in six weeks. In four months they will harvest enough food from their land to feed themselves and have some surplus to sell to generate an income.

Robbed of their childhood by HIV/ AIDS and fending for themselves, the youngsters are determined to stay together. And like children the world over, they have their dreams from making people happy by playing music as a DJ to helping people as doctors and nurses and even making a good living as an electrical welder! The family, now aged seven to 20, were discovered by Send a Cow staff member Robert, who was himself orphaned at 15. He recognises the desperation in Kasiita’s eyes as he struggles to keep his family alive: www.newcastle.anglican.org

The North Northumberland Spirituality Network Christian ecumenical spirituality group has launched its new website at

www.spiritualitynorthumberland.co.uk Lord Crewe’s Charity Educational Grants 2016-17 In the current academic year (2015-16) the Charity made educational grants to 24 members of the clergy in Newcastle Diocese totalling just under £58,000. The application process for educational grants to clergy in the Diocese for their dependant children is now open for the next academic year (2016-17). Grants are made at the Trustees’ absolute discretion for children of school age in full-time education (reception class and above) or studying for a first degree or equivalent level skills course, and who are dependants of: a) necessitous clergy (stipendiary or not) licensed, or having permission to officiate, by the Bishop of Durham or the Bishop of Newcastle b) retired clergy, licensed and serving in either of these two dioceses at the time of their retirement c) widows and widowers, still residing in the area, of clergy who were licensed or given permission to officiate as above and previously served in the area. Awards will be based on the: a) family’s gross income from ALL sources (ignoring expenses) up to a specified level (£49,240 in the year 2016-17): anyone over this limit will not qualify for assistance, except in the circumstances described at c below) b) school year (NB NOT age of children) as at 1st October 2016 (divided into four bands): c) all clergy licensed or having permission to officiate in the dioceses of Durham and Newcastle may apply for an award during each year of any dependant’s attendance on a first full-time degree or equivalent skills course. In this category only the trustees, at their absolute discretion and without prejudice, may consider the applicant’s overall financial circumstances irrespective of the strict household income limit at a) above, and may make a reduced award in these circumstances. Grants recognise the additional costs of having children in education, i.e. they do not depend on children being at fee paying schools. Application is by a short form (2 sides A4) which must be completed and returned by June 20th 2016. Decisions will be made in August and awards will be paid by BACS transfer in two equal instalments, in September 2016 and March 2017. If we do not already have your bank details you will need to complete a short form giving us your bank details and authorising us to use them. There is also a short guidance note for applicants. Those wishing to apply are strongly advised to register with the clergy section of the Lord Crewe’s Charity web site: www.lordcrewescharity.org.uk/clergy. Once your registration is accepted you will be able to download the forms and guidance, and see any updates on this year’s progress. Registered Charity No. 1155101

Rural Mission Sunday 2016 Last year the Arthur Rank Centre launched Rural Mission Sunday - a real opportunity for churches to celebrate who they are and give thanks for their community. This year the date for RMS is July the 17th, but you can mark this at any time over the summer to suit you and those you work with. This year the theme is 'Sow and Grow' so why not celebrate the seeds you sow as a church? Sometimes we feel overshadowed in the rural church by larger urban churches. We don't always think that small churches 'do mission'. At the ARC we think differently. We feel passionately about the importance of small churches; we know they do mission and want to celebrate that fact.

From the Revd Canon Ian Flintoft, Bishop’s Chaplain:

HM The Queen’s 90th Birthday The Church Buildings Council, with the approval and agreement of the Archbishops, is encouraging parish churches to organise a festival on the weekend of 10-12 June 2016, to celebrate The Queen’s 90th birthday and her role as Supreme Governor of the Church of England. This will coincide with official celebrations taking place in London. The Council notes that ‘the variety of potential forms for the celebrations is huge, from flower to organ, bell-ringing or choir festivals, from food to beer festivals.’ Parishes might like to organise an event which will contribute to their Mission Action Plan. Further details can be found here: www.churchcare.co.uk/about-us/campaigns/news/943-queen-s-90th-birthday The Liturgical Commission has written two collects, which have been personally approved by Her Majesty The Queen for use at services celebrating her ninetieth birthday later this year. Two graces for use at church and community gatherings have also been produced. The texts can be found here: www.churchofengland.org/media-centre/news/2016/02/prayers-for-hm-the -queen%E2%80%99s-90th-birthday-published.aspx Churches are being encouraged to share their plans to mark Her Majesty's birthday through the Church Care website, which also offers tips and advice on planning events and services and will promote initiatives on a dedicated celebration map and on Twitter through @CofE_ChurchCare using #HMQ90.

Springs is now inviting churches to host a 20th year anniversary performance of Journey of the Magi, which will be available nationally from 19 th November to 23rd December 2016. Journey of the Magi – A festive, witty and thoroughly Christmassy event for your church! Springs is proud to present the 20th anniversary tour of this critically acclaimed production! A spectacular part of the UK's family Christmas theatre scene. With sparkle and songs to keep the kids engrossed and plenty of in-jokes for the adults to enjoy, Journey of the Magi delights audiences of all ages. This hilarious and poignant show parallels the original Christmas story with our own preparations for Christmas day. “Brilliant, multi-talented show with depth, passion and an inspired storyline. We laughed, cried and understood what words alone can’t convey...” Further information can be found on the Springs Dance Company website or by emailing Rebecca on [email protected] or call 07876 752910.
