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.

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!

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 Ringland 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.

Lent begins on Ash Wednesday 1st March. The Diocese are offering ‘40 Prayers for 40 days’. Following the success of 40 Words for 40 days last Lent, Rev Canon Susanna Gunner offers a daily e mail with daily prayers and reflections.
