Holding up palm crosses in Brancaster @dioceseofnorwich. Lovely service, thank you to all those who brought children. May the Lord bless the church everywhere as we walk the way of the cross this Holy Week.
Amazing to be in Canterbury Cathedral today. Such a historic occasion and we were there! Praise God and may blessing abound on Archbishop Sarah. @churchofengland.org @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social
Fr Howard looking at the children’s work.
It was wonderful to preach at St Andrew’s Holt today and to pray first in the lovely sacrament chapel. Children in church, beautiful sung mass, a warm welcome and great conversations afterwards. Churches aren’t just for church and there’s something in Holt every day of the week; go along and see.
Really delighted to put Kristin as Rector of Mattishall and Tudd Valley this evening. Thank you to all who kept the flame of faith burning in the vacancy and who will support and pray for her going forward. @dioceseofnorwich is a great place for a first incumbency - do get in touch.
Well, that was BRILLIANT! Every benefice @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social should have Bubble Church. Come along to One Big Day (26 April Dereham) to find out more. Check www.dioceseofnorwich.org/mission-and-...
Now we’re setting up BubbleChurch! @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social
Just setting up for Bubble Church in Hardingham @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social. Wish you could hear the birds on this beautiful Norfolk morning: skylarks, robin, blackbird, sparrow, finches various. No bare ruined choirs here and soon the children will come to enjoy church. Praise God!
A beautiful day in Skellefteå where we are learning about the organ in the parish church and seeing round the town in our link diocese of Luleå
@dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social
A chilly day in Skellefteå, minus 19 this morning, but a warm welcome to the Diocese of Luleå Porvoo link diocese with @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social. Looking forward to welcoming rural deans soon!
Gathering beforehand, the Mayor opening the Mart and Canons Mark Dimond and Adrian Ling lined up for a ride. Great weather, large turnout and a fun family day at King's Lynn mart. @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social
Amazing day in King's Lynn for the opening of the Mart. Great to be part of such a historic event and to see the Showmen and women from across the country. @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social
Really excellent Deanery Synod and Day in Inworth & Sparham @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social enthusiasm and conversations so good that I forgot about photos! Faithful people, brilliant school, great clergy and very good social outreach. Oh and lovely churches. Thank you to everyone involved.
Hard work clearing St Paul's Great Yarmouth from the Bread Kitchen - found the West Window! @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social
Beautiful Eucharist, S Nicholas, Wells-next-the-Sea today. A spacious church with a great congregation (who unfortunately don't appear in the picture!). We're interviewing for this soon but see www.dioceseofnorwich.org/about/clergy... for other ministry opportunities. @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social
Sad to see newspapers decry Church Commissioners' attempt to right wrongs of slaving (Project Spire).The money isn't from church collections.The chattel slave trade was iniquitous. Scripture says, 'Do not tire of doing good' (Gal. 6:9). So let's support those affected. @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social
Really pleased to institute Josh as Rector of Gayton & Grimston benefice this evening. Please pray for him, Bethany and the children, the ten parishes of the benefice, the many churchwardens and all who keep the faith there.Thank you to the clergy for supporting today! @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social
Just arrived at beautiful S Mary Brancaster for the 4pm carol service. Glorious to be leading this. The Word became flash and lived among us. Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
Thank you @malcolmguite.bsky.social for an amazing retreat in Canterbury Cathedral. Poems as prayers, phrases to feed the soul, an alphabet of prayer. The attention of my mind was awakened. Thank you.
I'm holding on to Advent but Christmas is coming. If you're starting the food shop, @trusselluk.bsky.social food banks could do with non perishable items too. Add a few and help someone else's family to a better Christmas @churchofengland.org @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social
A priest-in-charge and a curate for the Coxfords group of parishes licensed this evening. A great start to Advent. Please pray for both clergy and all with whom they minister @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social
It was wonderful to open Fakenham parish church's Christmas tree festival on Wednesday: 25 years, over £1.5m for charity. Check BBC Look East (27/11) to watch - or go to King's Lynn Minster for theirs if you missed it. @revkyla.bsky.social @revtracyjessop.bsky.social @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social
Want an Advent calendar with a difference? Keen to support your local
Food bank? We shared this at Lynn deanery from @trusselluk.bsky.social Advent is a season of penitent preparation: with fasting, prayer and acts of service, may we enter it with generous hearts. @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social.
On Remembrance Day we give thanks for all who served and serve our country. Pictures from powerful King's Lynn services on Sunday. One day, our swords will be ploushares and our spears pruning hooks. @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social @kingslynnfoodbank.bsky.social
In beautiful St George's Tombland @dioceseofnorwich to give a talk on the Nicene Creed. And people are here! Bit scary...
A splendid confirmation in the beautiful, tiny St Margaret's church, Worthing. Candles and hazel trees shown here in front of the font - hollowed out from a churchyard cross many moons ago. Thank you to everyone who arranged the service, read, prayed, and arranged tea. @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social
Donating to a food bank in @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social? 29% of food bank parcels go to families of 5+. Let's help to give young people and the whole UK a future: end the 2 child cap as part of making social security work. @trusselluk.bsky.social @churchofengland.org @kingslynnfoodbank.bsky.social
Brilliant Black History Month service @norwichcathedral.bsky.social with International Music Group drummers, Norfolk African Choir singers and Archdeacon Chigor's inspiring sermon. Our 2024 BHM service was an innovation. Now we've had two, it's tradition: roll on 2026! @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social
A good Sunday in the Lynn area of @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social. Lovely time in S Mary Reepham this morning and off to the Black History Month service @norwichcathedral.bsky.social later. Photos from Reepham here - new Vicar coming soon!
