Here at St Edmund's we will have a display in church, with envelopes available if anyone is able to support this. I have also created an "e-envelope" for anyone who would prefer to donate on-line. You can find it at the address below:-https://envelope.christianaid.org.uk/envelope/st-edmunds-taverhamWe are also trialing "delivery only" envelopes - unlike other years, these only have to be delivered, with a note on the envelope asking any donations to be returned to a specific address, which is more "covid-safe" than knocking on people's doors.I would like us to deliver as many as possible, so if anyone could spare an hour or so to help, I would really appreciate it!If you think you can help, please contact me (Paul Scarff) on 868939.Deanery Ascension Day ServiceThere will be a Deanery service for Ascension Day from St Cuthbert’s Church Sprowston on Thursday 13th May in the evening.
