Touring Gateshead, England!

A wonderful first day of August touring our host city. (mid-60's high temp...ok you're right that's not nice)  The city lies on the southern bank of the River Tyne opposite Newcastle. Gateshead town center and Newcastle city center are joined by seven different bridges across the Tyne, including the amazing landmark Gateshead Millennium Bridge (pictured below) which swivels up on its axels.  A stop at the nearby lighthouse and North Sea coastline continued our day.  Rolling hills, nearby countryside, quaint shops, and bustling industry combine to form a delightful area. Church hospitality and fellowship have abounded!  Pray for Ian & Irene (church leaders pictured below).

Thank you for your continued prayers!
