Palm Sunday Witness
Around 40 members of Anglican and Methodist churches in Upper Teesdale came together in Eggleston for this year's Pam Sunday Walk of Witness service, led by the Rev Alison Wallbank.
Blessed with glorious sunshine, the first part of the service took place on the village green - accompanied by real donkeys! - followed by the walk up to the village hall for the remainder of the service and refreshments.

The Vigil took place at the Pathway Methodist Church. Over the course of the three hours more than 25 people took part and the vigil ended with some of those standing in silence at the war memorial.

Eggleston Show 2021
After an absence of one year due to Coronavirus restrictions, Eggleston Show was back this year with a bang. It is estimated it attracted more than 5,000 visitors over the day - and Upper Teesdale Churches Together was there to meet and greet and entertain them!
Our theme was "Made in the image of God" and helped by local clergy, volunteers and local cartoon artist Chris Bambrough, we were able to engage with visitors to our stand throughout the day.
"We wanted to show that the churches in the dale are a vital part of our communities as well as help folk really enjoy the day," said UTCT chair Mary Howard.
As well as the chance to have their cartoon portrait drawn by Chris, there were activities for youngsters (and some adults!) and each visitor was handed a mirror-card with the message: 'You are beautifully and wonderfully made." (Psalm 139: 14).
