Vale Church - About Us

News	St Paul the Apostle and the Holy Family, Choppington	Back
	To our friends in Choppington - 29^th April 2012 We wish you all joy as the Easter season progresses and hope you too are experiencing the glorious Spring weather which makes us feel so much alive. We have noticed the Holy Family Church is celebrating it’s fiftieth anniversary and we wish you all joy and happiness and congratulations. No one at the Vale can remember our fiftieth anniversary as it happened around the year 1018! (Although the Rector thinks his people’s Warden John Bichard might have been around at the time!) So you can look forward to the next 1000 years of proclaiming the Works and Word of God – it might not seem possible now but you will have to wait and see! Fr Terry kindly presented us with a Miner’s Lamp when he visited last August and we thought it was about time you saw in situ – so here is a picture for you. With our love and prayers from all at S. Michel du Valle 3^rd March 2011 You may or may not be aware that Winchester Diocese is linked with Newcastle and has been for 28 years! Recently the Rector explored the possibility of a parish link with a parish in the diocese of Newcastle and, with the approval and wholehearted endorsement of the Church Advisory Council, we have set up a link with the parish of St Paul the Apostle and the Holy Family, Choppington. Information about Choppington will soon be appearing in church for all to see and they will be sending copies of their parish magazine to us as we will ours to them. (copies of their latest magazine are on a church bookstall) We shall also hold each other regularly in our prayers. It is hoped that their vicar Father Terry Moat, will be able to visit us later this year and perhaps regular exchanges and visits from our congregations will follow on from this. KN
