A special podcast, recorded by the Bishop of Norwich as we mark Mothering Sunday this weekend, is now available to play, download and share. Visit hereSpeaking in his introduction, Bishop Graham said: “Life feels so strange at present. Things are out of kilter, including our emotions, and there is sorrow that our churches are closed for public worship. Very many churches are, however, open for private prayer. Yet the Church is the people of God, and we are being Church right now, just in a different way.“This short podcast contains a reading, reflection, some questions to ponder, and prayers. You might like to press pause and light a candle as a symbol of God’s presence with us.”This is the first episode of a new weekly podcast by, and for, the Diocese of Norwich called 'Sunday Hope'.Please let everyone know so together we can play this, and the following podcasts in this series, on Sunday and in the coming weeks!
As things become increasingly strange and we see less of each other, one of the most of important things we can do is pray for each other. As you know, the church is open every day, offering a quiet space to come and sit and think and pray if you would like to. There is now a ‘prayer box’ in church (near the door) so that if there is anything that you would like prayer for please write it down and put it in the box and it will be prayed for. Alternatively if you are on Facebook you can find us at St Edmunds Taverham (see icon at bottom of main church page to go direct). Once there you can DM (Direct Message) us to let us know what you would like us to pray about.This way we can continue to pray together even though we aren’t physically together. Please share.
