Harvest Thanksgiving weekend

 

Our future - more information

This describes the types of churches that there might be in the future, so we can consider which type we are (and which type we want to become!).  We will be discussing this at the open meeting (for anyone who is interested, church-goer or not) on Tuesday 31 August at 7.30pm in church.

Our future

 Are you interested in the future of our church here in Nocton?  If so, this meeting is for you.  You don't have to be a church-goer to come.

Book sale update

We have a date!  Saturday 11 September 10am - 4pm.  A great range of fiction and non fiction books, jigsaws and DVDs.  Refreshments on sale, fabulous raffle and a return of the very popular Teddy Tombola.

 

Farewell to Revd Rachel

 Our curate, Rachel Revely, is leaving us! Rachel has been with us for the last year and has now completed her training. She is moving to Ipswich to be priest-in-charge at St Thomas the Apostle and Martyr. Rachel will be licensed to her new role on 2 August and we wish her well for the future.

A special prayer on the death of HRH the Duke of Edinburgh

God of our lives,

we give thanks for the life of Prince Philip,

for his love of our country,

and for his devotion to duty.

We entrust him now to your love and mercy,

through our Redeemer Jesus Christ. Amen.

HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh

Holy Week services

 A list of our church services as we prepare for Easter. If you are not a member of the regular congregation, it would be really helpful if you could let Lorna know if you wish to attend as due to social distancing, the capacity of the church is limited at the moment. Please also be aware that the boiler in All Saints has failed and it's not as warm in church as we would like...

Lent Quiet Day

 

Update on services

 We are still here... we have been experimenting with Morning Prayer via Zoom on Sundays and Wednesdays.  This has been working well.  If you are not already on the distribution list for our weekly bulletin, or would like the Zoom details, please do let us know.

We hope to be open for public worship again on Palm Sunday, 28 March.  Keep checking here for updates!
