Some pics from our cafe church this morning - we shared our stories over coffee and croissants, sang some of our favourite hymns and blessed the backpacks of our younger members as they prepare for the new school term.We heard from Scripture, and were invited to sign up to join the forthcoming Growing Good Course.
At today’s morning worship we gathered to commission Revd Eleanor as Deacon at St. Faith’s, we prayed for her and for her family as they join our church family.Revd Eleanor then read out our Ecumenical Vision Statement - signed in 2024 to celebrate our 50 years of sharing as a Methodist/ Anglican partnership. Our 4 Core Values come directly from that vision: We choose to live out our Christian life together drawing closer in communion, deepening our faith, widening our pastoral care and reaching out in mission.
On Tuesday 30th our amazing team of bellringers showed our new curate Revd Eleanor and Fr Ben from All Saints West Lynn the ropes!Revd Eleanor was ordained deacon at Norwich Cathedral on Sunday 28th June and has now joined our team at St. Faith’s as Assistant Curate. Fr Ben Almond was ordained Priest at All Saints Church in King’s Lynn.We are so blessed to have these two very talented and committed ministers in our our Lynn Deanery.King’s Lynn Bellringers rang a quarter peal of Grandsire Doubles in celebration of the ordinations.We are ready to ring in this new ministry together!
This year's fair was officially opened by our very own Pioneer Priest Revd Fiona, who welcomed everyone in to have fun and raise much-needed funds to support St. Faith's. Church family and community came together to make the most of the glorious weather with the ice-creams and candy floss proving very popular!Despite being rained on at one point (Yes! Rain!) our spirits weren't dampened and the sun soon came out again. Thanks to our wonderful volunteers and stall holders who make it all possible - and a special big thank you to Jake, our youngest volunteer, who at just 7 years old stayed all day with his dad helping out.
