Children's Council Visit Holy Island

By Sharon Pritchard, Children's Ministry Adviser

Children’s Council joined with The PULSE visit to Holy Island on 10th July and spent the day learning about the Saints linked to the Island, ate ice cream, enjoyed looking around St Mary’s church and learning about St Cuthbert, got a selfie with St Aidan, shopped for souvenirs and spent time on the beach. 

We also had a special act of worship on the beach next to St Cuthbert’s Island where we used prayer beads to help us pray. Led by Nick Brooker we used the beads to help us think about the things in our lives that we wanted to pray about and learned to breathe in between prayers, as well as praying The Lord’s Prayer together.  It was a really special time together and we will remember it well.

We played lots of games and had lots of fun at the Catholic Youth Centre after tea and by the end of the day were all very tired but happy!
