Her first impression of Newton Aycliffe was a feeling of enterprise, growth and anticipation, with people who are very warm and welcoming, friendly and cheerful. “It’s easy to get lost around the area but I am slowly learning the road layout! I am excited to be part of the parish and looking forward to see what God has in store for me, the family, the churches and Great Aycliffe as a whole” Said Debbie.
