Cuthbert's Island

We went on Pilgrimage with the Treehouse staff and students this past week to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne. Barbara and I remember visiting once back in 2002 when the Africa Mercy was being refit in Newcastle, UK. The weather was amazingly sunny and mild so we had wonderful day trips and pictures of the North Sea, wildlife and livestock. We stayed in a guesthouse for pilgrims named Marygate House where they host you and feed you for whatever you can pay. One night we walked across the tidal plain as pilgrims have been doing for centuries. Studying the Celtic Christians, we visited ancient sites and took time to wait on the Lord and pray together. It was a special week for our group and a soothing pause after being robbed at home.
