HEXHAM ABBEY
The Priory and Parish Church of St Andrew
Sunday 24th May
Pentecost
Welcome to the Abbey today as we gather for worship and
fellowship on this special day. The feast of Pentecost is one of
the three great times of the Church’s year, when we celebrate
the coming of the Holy Spirit – the power of God’s love and
the way by which Jesus is with us always. During communion all
are invited to come forward for bread and wine or a blessing –
if for a blessing simply keep your head bowed.
Cloister Club is meeting today – please gather at the back of church
during the first hymn.

and we shall be remade,
and you will renew
the face of the earth.
