Harvest Festival Service

Occurring
for 1 hour
Venue
Bessingham: St Mary
Address
High Street Bessingham Norwich, NR11 7JP, United Kingdom

Harvest is a joyful time in the church year when we come together to celebrate God’s goodness and provision. It’s a moment to pause, reflect on the many blessings in our lives, and to offer our thanks. Traditionally, we bring gifts of food and produce to share with others, reminding us that everything we have comes from God and that we are called to care for those in need. These gifts are then shared with local charities and food banks, extending the blessing beyond our church walls.

If you’ve never been to a Harvest service before, expect a warm welcome, familiar hymns of praise, and a wonderful sense of community. It’s a family-friendly occasion where people of all ages join together in thanksgiving.

Bessingham provides a beautiful and fitting setting for our Harvest service, where the gathering of friends, neighbours and newcomers makes the celebration even more special. Whether you come with gifts to share, or simply with a heart ready to give thanks, you will be part of a meaningful act of worship and gratitude

Carol Service

Occurring
for 1 hour
Venue
Bessingham: St Mary
Address
High Street Bessingham Norwich, NR11 7JP, United Kingdom

Our Carol Service is one of the highlights of the Christmas season — a joyful celebration filled with well-loved carols, readings, and the timeless story of the birth of Jesus. Whether you have been coming to church for many years, haven’t been for a long time, or are simply curious to experience the wonder of Christmas in a traditional way, you will find a warm welcome here.

You don’t need to know the words or the tunes — just come and enjoy the music, the atmosphere, and the sense of community as voices join together in song. The service is family-friendly and open to all, offering a chance to pause in the busyness of December and to share in the hope and joy that Christmas brings.

We warmly invite you to join us, bring friends and family, and be part of this very special celebration.
