Amble Churches Together
Thoughts for the New Year
2008 could be a momentous one for Amble. We have the prospect of a new supermarket, improved car parking, changes in local government and development of the Welfare. Most of these changes will help revitalise the town.

Amble Churches Together hope to be able to contribute and play a part in planning and helping with events. We hope that whatever our faith, or whether we have any faith at all, it is a chance for us all to join together. By working together and trying to understand one another’s points of view and wishes, we can make progress.

We may not necessarily agree with the plans put before us, but with discussion and appreciation of different points of view we can make our town a better place in which to live and work.

A rather belated Happy New Year to everyone.

Kathleen Morgan,
St. Mark’s URC.
