As part of our preparation for Pentecost, this Wednesday (16 May) we’re holding a Day of Prayer at St Mary’s, part of Thy Kingdom Come.  We’ll be joining hundreds of other Churches to pray for the mission and ministry of the Church around the world.

The programme for the day is:

3.45pm Messy Church (particularly suitable for accompanied children)
5pm Messy Church Worship
5.30pm Evening Prayer

Christian Aid Week 2018: stand together

11/5/2018

0 Comments

 
Christian Aid Week begins on Sunday 13 May.  It's our annual challenge to confront the poverty which robs so many people around the world of their dignity and lets injustice thrive.  Together we have the opportunity to transform lives.  Christian Aid Week is the invitation to stand together.

Christian Aid Week has been running for over 60 years, and reminds us of the vital work of Christian Aid.  For over 70 years, Christian Aid has been standing with the poorest of our neighbours, working in 37 countries, with people of all faiths and none, to stand up for dignity, equality and justice.

There are three major events during Christian Aid Week when we would love to see you.

Saturday 12 May
10am to 11.30am • St Mary’s Church Hall
Christian Aid Week Coffee Morning

Join us for a cuppa and a chat, some home baking and a flutter on the raffle.  Please give us your support!

Sunday 13 May
10am • St Mary’s Church
Julian Bryant preaching at The Parish Eucharist

We’ll be welcoming Julian Bryant, regional co-ordinator of Christian Aid in Norfolk, as our guest preacher at the Parish Eucharist.  Come and hear him as we pray together for God’s blessing on Christian Aid Week and our neighbours around the world.

Sunday 13 May
12 noon • St Mary’s Church Hall
Christian Aid Week Lunch

Following coffee after the Parish Eucharist, there’ll be a parish lunch when we hope to be joined by friends from other churches in Attleborough as well.  Lunch includes two courses as well as a glass of wine: tickets cost £10 and are on sale from the Church Office or Dorothy Woolliscroft (456211).  Julian Bryant will also speak briefly at lunch.  All proceeds to Christian Aid.

St Mary's Choir at Norwich Cathedral

11/5/2018

On Sunday 29 April, the Fifth Sunday of Easter, St Mary's Choir sang Choral Evensong in the Cathedral, deputising for the Cathedral Choir.  They performed works by Sumsion (Evening Service in G) and Rutter (Christ the Lord is risen again).  Later that day they sang the same music in our own church.  The photo below was taken at the Cathedral on the day.  Well done to Ben and all the choir!

On Saturday 23 June, the Eve of the Nativity of St John the Baptist, St Mary’s Choir will be singing Choral Evensong in the Cathedral at 3.30pm.  Why not combine it with a morning’s shopping or lunch out?

The next day, Sunday 24 June, will be our first Choir Sunday, a celebration of the role which choral music plays in our Church Family’s life and worship.  Canon Barry Oake will be our guest preacher at the 10am Parish Eucharist, and there’ll be Choral Evensong at 6.30pm.  All welcome!
