"I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people." Luke 2.10 From this month's Church Registers
An archive of previous month's entries in the Church Registers is on the "From the Church Registers" pageRed Notes ....................... St. Mary's, Great Massingham... The Christingle Service was once again a wonderful occasion and raised an amazing £347.21 for the Children's Society. A huge thank you to everyone. St Lawrence, Harpley ...Thank you to Jean Pocklington and her sister, Margaret Collishaw, whose excellent photos were used to make the splendid Harpley calendar for 2019. A donation of £904 has been made to the church. St. Andrew's, Little Massingham Roof Appeal....St. Andrew's Church has been targetted by lead thieves, once again, and is appealing for support in raising funds to replace the roof. The roof was replaced back in 2006 and was first attacked by lead thieves back in 2014. Since then there has been a further attack and then this January 2017, another attempt was made to steal the lead from over the North Aisle. The thieves abandoned the building but completely damaged the roof. The lead is there and can be sold but the cost of replacement is huge. Thanks go to all those involved who helped to secure the building and prevent further damage. Special thanks to Neil from "Top Speck" who was just wonderful. He called in "favours" and between them all they got the rolled lead down and in his trailer and off to the scrap merchants. They managed to get tarpaulins on both roofs to make it as watertight as possible. Pictures of the damage are courtesy of Stephen Hudson.
A special service for the Benefice to support St Andrews Church is being planned and there will be further fund raising appeals. The work needed gets ever more urgent and your help will be much appreciated. Thank You. St Mary's, East Walton... FEB 2019 . WORK IS NOW STARTING ON THE ROOF AND THE CHURCH WILL BE CLOSED THROUGH THIS BUILDING PERIOD. The work is funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, The National Churches Trust and further support from The Norfolk Churches Trust, The Round Tower Society and The Geoffrey Watling Charity. We are grateful for all their help. As the work reaches completion an exciting weekend of events is planned for 29th/30th of June to celebrate this historic Church. More details to follow soon.
Don't forget our own village Lottery. There have been lots of monthly winners. Rachael, Rachel, Laurence, Anne, Chrissie and Rosie. A great way to help towards the Church for £5 a month. See Maureen for details.
