This is the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2021 (18th to 25th January). This will be reflected in our worship and our prayers during the week. Materials have been prepared by the churches of the Middle East, based on the Visit of the Wise men to the infant Jesus. “The Christians of the Middle East offer these resources conscious that the world shares many of the travails and much of the difficulties that it experiences, and yearns for a light to lead the way to the Saviour who is the light that overcomes darkness.” Further details on this link : https://ctbi.org.uk/week-of-prayer-for-christian-unity-2022/

Embrace the Middle East (formerly Bible Lands) have produced a document ‘We Choose Abundant Life’ setting out the key perspectives of the remaining Christian church in the Holy Land. One of the main themes is co-operation between the main denominations and a Spirit – led witness across the region. This document can be downloaded from the Embrace website. Also a summary is at the back of St Ed’s church. This is such an important issue for our time, particularly as we consider church unity.

Sunday 30th January is a fifth Sunday, and our 11.15am service will be a livestream with the livestream team. After the service there will be the opportunity for volunteers to record bite-sized prayers. Please let Rev Paul or the churchwardens know if you would like to do this.

Christingle Collection candles and envelopes to support the work of the Children’s Society can be returned to St Ed’s up to Sunday 30th January 2022 (Candlemas).

Congratulations to Rev Margaret McPhee, Rector of Horsford, Hevingham and Felthorpe, who is the new Rural Dean for Norwich North.

The Norwich passion Play is happening on Saturday 16th April in Norwich – a collaboration across the city from many churches. More details are at the back of church, including how to volunteer!

Bibles for the Junior School We try and donate a Bible to each Year 3 pupil at the Junior School each year. Each Bible costs £5.50 for 120 pupils. If you would like to contribute, please pass your donation to a Churchwarden.

Christian Aid Week is 15th to 21st May. We have adopted new envelopes that no longer involve collecting them, but delivering them across Taverham and inviting people to return them (much less hard work and awkwardness!!). If you are interested in delivering these, please let Paul Scarff or Rev Paul know.

Norwich homeless during the cold weather as in previous years we will receive donations of hats, gloves for those on the streets of Norwich. If you would like to donate these items please leave them at the back of St Ed’s marked ‘Homeless’.
