During this COVID-19 we've had a steady stream of food for the food bank and wish to Thank You all for your support for this endeavour during these difficult times.Now the church building is closed we have considered how to maintain this vital support to our community as we cannot continue to have a foodbank collection point at the church. For the time being the Foodbank collection bin has been moved to the Rectory, at 173 Taverham Road. The bin is beside Rev Paul and Rachel’s front door. There will be no humans present....there might be a cat tho'.We continue to encourage everyone to do what they can to support food banks which will be needed more than ever at this time. In light of government guidelines – we encourage you to try not to make this a journey of its own – but if you are out for your daily constitutional perhaps change your route so you go past the Rectory or if driving past while out on an ‘approved journey’ then stop and drop items into the bin. Please contribute what you can.

Good Morning everyone. Following last night’s news we are now having to keep the church building closed. We had hoped to keep it open but we are committed to following all the guidelines and ensuring we do everything we can to minimise the spread of this virus. We continue to be active on this website and on Facebook to try to ensure we can all continue to be together – although we are physically parted.On the St Eds Facebook page we will do some live streaming at various points so watch this space.In the meantime we continue to pray and please DM us (via our Facebook page) if there is anyone we can pray for specifically. May God’s peace fill us all.Rev Paul, Rachel and the Ministry team
