NORTHGATE United Reformed Church in Darlington is gearing up for a busy weekend of sales stalls and prayer.

On Saturday September 15 the church will open from 10am to noon with a number of prayer stations on the theme of the Parable of the Sower.

At the same time there will be a coffee morning in the hall serving coffee, tea and homemade scones, plus a number of stalls selling cakes, bric-a-brac and books.

The morning service on Sunday at 10.45am will be led by the Moderator of the Northern Synod, the Rev Rowena Francis. All are welcome.
