Wishing you a good week ahead, Nick

Dear All,

I hope you are keeping well. This Sunday’s services will be: 9.30am Communion at Claxton and 11am Morning Prayer at Carleton St. Peter.

We continue to pray for an end to the conflict in Ukraine and for the safety and future of its people.

Lent is also a time for stillness, reflection and prayer, and the Barn will host Contemplative Prayer on Monday at 7.30pm. If you seek some quiet space in your life, this may be for you. Please contact me for further details.

On Saturday we’re holding the first in our series of Lent Lunches in the Barn. You’re welcome to drop in between 12 Noon and 3pm on Saturday (12th) for homemade soup and scones, bread and cheese, all-age seasonal crafts plus good company! We’re supporting this year’s Diocesan Lent Appeal for Sag Sag Health Health Centre in Papua New Guinea

Services on the following Sunday (13th) are 9.30am Communion at Rockland St. Mary and 11am Communion at Surlingham.

Best wishes, Nick

Information received from Charlie

Bookings are now open for The Big Norfolk Holiday Fun, a programme of free activities that will run over the Easter holidays for 5–16-year-olds across Norfolk.

The scheme is provided as part of the government’s Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme and is being delivered by Norfolk County Council in partnership with Active Norfolk.

“We are really pleased with the number of organisations who have stepped forward to be part of The Big Norfolk Holiday Fun programme which means that the programme can offer exciting opportunities for children and young people in Norfolk.”

The sessions offer children the chance to learn and develop new skills, alongside receiving a free nutritious lunch each day. Booking is on a first-come-first-served basis, with limited spaces for many activities, so families should book soon to avoid disappointment.

Parents will be sent promotional codes from their children’s school which they’ll need to use online to book their children onto an activity. Families are encouraged to explore the wide range of activities available and book as soon as possible.

Bookings open on Monday 21 February, details of the activities available and further information on how to book can be found at The Big Norfolk Holiday Fun on Active Norfolk

The next meeting of the lunch club is on Wednesday, 16th March.

Please contact Wendy Ferrey on 01508 538430 by Monday 7th.
