IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
It is with great pleasure that I can announce that the Bishops of Durham and Jarrow have given permission for Graham Copley to be ordained a deacon on 27th September 2020 and to serve his curacy in the Hunwick and Willington Benefice. He will be licensed as a Lay Minister with permission to conduct worship including funerals on 5th July - the original date of the ordinations. When the proposed team ministry comes into being, Graham will automatically be a curate in the new team and continue in that role until at least July 2023.

ENCOURAGING WORDS
An email was received on Friday the 20th March 2020 at the beginning of the Coronavirus lockdown. It is from a person who lives in Willington and all I can say is "Amen" - the people of Willington (and I'm sure Hunwick too) are truly wonderful and I add my thanks to everyone who is pulling together to make a caring and supportive community for us all.
