What's on

Breakfast Church

for 1 hour, 30 mins
Saxthorpe with Corpusty: St Andrew
The Street Saxthorpe Norfolk, NR11 7DG, United Kingdom

Join us for Breakfast Church—our interactive style of worship where faith, fellowship, and food come together. More than just a service, this is a chance to connect, reflect, and share in a relaxed and welcoming space.

We’ll start at 10am with tea, coffee, and fresh pastries—because good conversations often begin around the table. At 10:30am, we’ll move into a time of music, prayer, and Bible reading and prayer.

There will be a short talk on an aspect of the Bible and how this can be seen in our lives. Come and discuss this over tea/coffee and croissants...

Whether you’re a regular at church or just curious, come as you are - We’d love to see you!

Evening Prayer

for 1 hour
Hempstead: All Saints
The Street Hempstead Holt, NR25 6AH, United Kingdom

On Sunday July 26th at 5pm, we are having a short Evensong service (no communion) in Hempstead Church to which you are all invited. We will be having Pimms and refreshments afterwards (we hope in the Churchyard) to THANK YOU ALL for everything you do to support our Parish Church.

The service is open to all and we will also be delighted to welcome any other members of the congregation from neighbouring parishes.

With best wishes

Airlie Inglis and all on the PCC

Evensong

for 1 hour
St Peter & St Paul Edgefield
Sweetbriar Lane Edgefield, NR24 2AF, United Kingdom

Find Peace in the Evensong: A Service of Thanksgiving & Reflection

As the day draws to a close, join us for a gentle evening service. This is a sacred space to pause, offer gratitude for the day gone by, and reflect in quiet companionship.

Wherever you find yourself on your spiritual journey – seeking, questioning, or certain – you are genuinely welcome here. Share in the stillness and find connection.

Afterwards, stay for light refreshments and warm fellowship.
