The May sunshine brought fun & fundraising to Monkwearmouth Parish yesterday (Saturday 17th).
Organised at short notice by an enthusiastic team of volunteers, a Christian Aid Spring Fair was held in the grounds of St. Andrew's. Highlights included spectacular views for those who braved the heights of the church tower tours, gorgeous items from PodaiBoo crafts, a large array of delicious homemade cakes and the unforgettable sight of Team Rector Dick Bradshaw and Assistant Curate Paul Child grappling in a few bouts of Inflatable Sumo Wrestling.
Later the same evening a caleigh in the vast Priestman Hall delighted those in attendance, adding more much-needed money to the Christian Aid pot.
The events of Saturday were the culmination of a busy Christian Aid week, involving cake selling & wine tasting at Bede's Bakehouse and even people opening their homes to sell soup.
