Surlingham

I hope you keeping well and enjoying the ‘back to school’ weather.

Firstly, may I offer thanks to everyone who took part in or supported yesterday’s 40th Anniversary Cycle Ride, which is a great support to our churches and the Norfolk Churches Trust. 

This Sunday’s services (10th) are 9.30am Communion at Surlingham (with an opportunity to receive anointing for healing and grace), and 11am Communion at Rockland.

Celtic Prayer meets on Tuesday (12th) at 10am in Surlingham Church porch.

On Wednesday (13th) Art Cafe meets in the Barn between 10.30am and 12.15pm. Our theme is ‘My Summer’ . All our welcome to share memories of the summer, or anything we’ve seen or made..

Next Sunday (Sept 17th) sees Communionat 9.30am in Bramerton and 11am in Kirby Bedon. There’s Morning Worship at Claxton, 9.30am.  

Finally, I received the sad news of Barbara Ledward’s death from her daughter. Barbara is fondly remembered by those who knew her and John during their time here, as a great support to John as Rector and to many others in our benefice. Her funeral will take place at Brundall Church on Sept 22nd (time to be confirmed) and will also be livestreamed. I will pass on this information when I have received it. We give thanks for her life and pray for her family and friends at this sad and painful time. 

Best wishes, Nick

Just a quick not the fish van is back tomorrow Thurs 7th Sept 2023. Perfectly in time for culinary delights this weekend, now that we have been blessed with some sunshine.

Our 2x packs of frozen mince are going really well and wont be there for too much longer so do grab whilst you can. (We are well aware we say this every week so the irony is not lost). We just have quite a bit in the freezer as this is usually the last cut of the animal people always want. However when it comes to the farm shop we have one animal at a time which is a lot of meat and we aim to sell through all the meat before getting the next one in. There are only so many prime steak cuts per carcass. Plus, many of the off cuts and parts we don’t know about or use about are just as and if not sometimes more delicious. We all know about the versatility of mince, but what about the amazing stewing and chuck cuts. Slow cooked they are absolutely incredible. We also have some of these in the freezer and are must tries.

Anyways, enough mumblings. There are lots of goodies in the farm shop, fish van here tomorrow as per and the sun in shining.

If you have any questions anytime please drop us a line at info@yarevalleyoils.co.uk

From everyone at Yare Valley may we wish you a super week 🙂
