We are collecting old bras for Africa in celebration of International Women’s Day on 5th March.

The advertised event is at Swainsthorpe Church, but you can pass any bras that you can afford to give(!) to Alexandra Evans, Ferry Road 538234.

Many thanks in anticipation of your support…..!

Swainsthorpe Community Charity Trust – Charity Number 287784

Although we planted most of the hedging plants allocated to the orchard before Christmas, we still have a few more to plant out. Anyone who’d like to join us at the orchard on Sunday February 27 between 2 and 4 pm will be welcome. Gardening gloves and a fork/spade would be useful.

Someone has admitted responsibility and due process is being followed.

Be a community hero and help identify the driver of a (silver/grey) Toyota who crashed into a parked Nissan car at Ferry Corner this morning, but failed to stop.

Sadly the likely cost of repairs will probably exceed the value of the Nissan meaning it will have to be scrapped.

Please contact Norfolk Police on 111 if you have any information. We will advise the Police Incident Number when it is assigned; likely to be tomorrow.

Information received from Dave Wadham 537125

Well, well, well it’s almost the most romantic day of the year so we have prepared a very special Sunday.

Tomorrow there will be loads available from gift boxes (made to your choice), love hampers and Portuguese wine – last day available tomorrow (from red, vinho verde or rose).

Have an excellent Sunday 💕💕

Dear All,
This Sunday (13th) is the eve of St. Valentine’s day, and our worship reflects the theme of love, beginning with:
9.30amCommunion at Rockland St. Mary,
10am Family Worship at Surlingham, and
11am ‘All you need is love’ Family Worship at Bramerton.

This week’s video service celebrates love in all its forms. you can watch it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBBwTDGTskw

Art Cafe re-opens on Wednesday at 10.30am with an online Bring and Share on the theme of ‘Awakenings’. As nature stirs from its midwinter slumber, signs of new life are appearing around us. Please feel to bring something that speaks to you about this time of year (or any other forms of awakening). It could be an image, an object, a piece of writing or music, or something from the natural world. You’re also welcome simply to come and enjoy others’ contributions. Please contact Nick for more info and your Zoom invitation.

The following Sunday (20th), there will be 9:30am Family Worship at Claxton, and
11am Holy Communion at Kirby Bedon

We hope you’re keeping well.
Best wishes,
Nick and Helen
