All past 8th Lowestoft St. John’s guides and leaders are invited to a celebration to mark their 100 years. There will be tea and cake and time to reminisce at here on Saturday 10th August 2 p.m. - 4 p.m.
It was wonderful to see so many people turning out on an overcast day to attend this event.The whole premises were used to provide a variety of activities including a bouncy castle, various craft activities, information about Nigerian food and delicious samples to taste. Children and adults together enjoyed a scavenger hunt based of the Olympics and were pleased to receive their own medals when they successfully completed the task.Those barbequing and serving free burgers and hot dogs on the corner of Roman Road and Haward Street where kept busy as were the ladies selling homemade cakes and biscuits.Thank you for coming it was good to spend time with you. We are also grateful to those who gave donations towards the cost of the event.
The Bishop of Norwich said: “Each of these people have given and continue to give outstanding service to the Church in our Diocese. They will be great ambassadors for the Cathedral in the Diocese and vice versa.”On the photograph from left to right: Bishop of Norwich, Revd Helen Jary, Revd Karlene Kerr, Revd Damon Rogers, Revd Richard James, Dean of Norwich
Every Thursday the Revd Damon Rogers and his team have been serving brunch at St Andrew’s Lowestoft. This winter, the café times will be extended so that eight hours of warm space will be provided for the local community. This winter, the café times will be extended so that eight hours of warm space will be provided for the local community. Suffolk County Council’s plan is for warm spaces every day in various venues, St Andrew’s being one of them. Practical support is also offered as each warm space will have two council employees ready to give advice on coping with household bills. The warm hospitality is also offered to families; Damon is conducting a survey with the local primary school with a view to serving family community meals. In Lowestoft the ‘street folk’ are also provided for as the cafés take turns in offering free food.“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” Matt 5.5-6Warm spaces in Lowestoft — Diocese of Norwich
