Rev Val starts a placement at St Luke’s, Aylsham Road, on Monday, and will be there for a month. We pray it will be a helpful and encouraging time for her.

Pancake party Lent begins on 14th February! We will be holding a Pancake Party on Tuesday 13th February at St Ed’s from 3.00pm until 5.00pm, in support of Christian Aid. Any offers of help to make pancakes and help on the day gratefully received! Please invite anyone who may like to come along.

Gift Day we will be holding a gift day for our building projects (East window, the chancel thatch and the organ) on Saturday 17th February. This will be to highlight the work needed, to come together to pray for the projects and our mission, time for some worship together and an opportunity for donations.

Gratitude Scheme Ben Knights has suggested a great idea for the weeks between Lent and Pentecost. Each week we will choose a local organisation that serves our community (Doctors Surgery, Pharmacies, Schools, Care Homes, Supermarkets etc) and write personal notes or cards to be delivered to them during the week. We would also include them in the prayers for the next Sunday (we can ask them for items to pray for). It will be a great way to show we appreciate all they do for us and others.

Bishop’s Lent Appeal 2024 will help to raise money to provide water tanks for Ordinand’s Homes at Newton Theological College in P New Guinea
