The Waveney Group of Parishes

A group of five churches serving their communities in the beautiful Waveney Valley, which are part of the Waveney Marshlands Benefice. We are also blessed by the presence of the Romanian Orthodox Church who now use the church at Gillingham for prayer and worship, giving added spiritual depth and experience in our journeying with Christ.

Our pattern of services is shared between ourselves and our fellow Christians in the adjoining Raveningham Group of Parishes (also part of the Waveney Marshlands Benefice). This pattern includes a benefice celebration of Holy Communion on every 5th Sunday of a month - details will be published as appropriate.

Please select any of the churches below for more details or contact the Rector, The Revd David Smith, on 01502 711645 (email: [email protected]).

Marshland Benefice fundraising Christian Aid Week

Once again we are approaching Christian Aid Week, when we try to focus on
those in many parts of the world – more than ever this year – whose lives are
a daily fight with loss, poverty and uncertainty. It is, surely, an opportunity to
reflect on all that we have and enjoy in our own corner of God's Universe.
Christian Aid tell the story of Aline in Burundi, who endured an early marriage
which ended in abuse and violence. Separated from her six children, she slept
on the the streets, determined to find a way to turn her life around. Christian
Aid helped to transform her life.

May I encourage YOU to support our Benefice-wide effort, by attending the
Coffee Morning from 10 – 12 noon on Saturday 18th May? We need a
stallholder with green fingers to run the garden stall and cake bakers and
helpers with refreshments on the day. There will be a book stall, raffle (prizes
needed) and any suggestions for stalls or help will be welcome. PLEASE may
we join together to meet one another from one end of the Benefice to the other
and raise money for this worthy cause.

Any contributions to me, Barbara Partington, at 33, Newgate, Kirby Cane.
