Smiles all round as Bishop visits Sedgefield

The Bishop of Durham, the Right Revd Paul Butler, was in Sedgefield at the weekend to meet members of St Edmund’s Church and to preach at Sunday morning’s parish Eucharist service.

He was welcomed by Reader Michael King who told him how parishioners were looking forward to welcoming the Revd. Geoffrey Short as Rector and the Revd. Elizabeth Bland as Vicar in the parish of the Upper Skerne.

After the service, the Bishop found time to chat with members of the congregation (l-r) Judith King, Alex Wainwright, Panny Pighills and Michael King.
