Waiting for the Holy Spirit

11/5/2016

As part of our Twelve Hours of Prayer in St Mary's yesterday, we had a great couple of hours with the children.  After drinks and biscuits they heard the Pentecost story told through Godly Play, and then explored the work of the Holy Spirit by making doves (a symbol of the Spirit shown on the font in St Mary's), windmills (for the rushing wind which accompanied the coming of the Spirit at the first Pentecost), and flame-coloured hand prints and ribbons to decorate a cross at the back of the church, celebrating the Holy Spirit's descent in "divided tongues, as of fire," which appeared on each of the apostles.  We thought about the people we want to pray for, and after our prayers enjoyed delicious birthday cake for the birthday of the Universal Church and sang "Happy birthday".  Everyone got a flame-coloured cake to take home as well... and now we're looking forward to Pentecost itself when we'll be making kites!

Archdeacon's Charge

3/5/2016

Three generations of the Jackson family successfully completed the Archdeacon's Charge yesterday. The two and a half mile walk round the Sandringham Estate was to raise money for the Church and East Anglian Air Ambulance. The Air Ambulance even dropped in. Sponsorship from Attleborough and Besthorpe was nearly £500 which will be split between the Church and Air Ambulance. Thanks to everyone who sponsored.
