«Services, Prayers, and “Filling the Gap”»
It was good to see you at our first church services since lockdown in April, Morning Prayer at Ellingham and Aldeby. We shall meet at those two churches again next Sunday. Do come along if you can.
Be mindful of the guidance (click here) I sent out earlier in the week and, please, be aware that we have a socially-distanced capacity in both churches of 35 worshippers.
The PODCAST will continue. Here is the link for the latest issue

Please contact me for password details.
“FILLING THE GAP” — Food in School Holidays
I’m very pleased to advise that we will be joining forces with the Diocese of Norwich and Ellingham Primary School to help provide meals for some children (click here for details) from the school’s vulnerable families over the summer holidays.
CLERGY HOLIDAY
An advance note that I will be taking two short periods of holiday with my family during August and September:
Tuesday to Saturday, 4-8 August (inclusive), and
Tuesday to Saturday, 1-5 September (inclusive)
I will still be officiating at services in church on the Sundays immediately before and after those periods as well as making sure that the “Food in School” holiday parcels are delivered during those weeks, but otherwise I will not be in action.
If you have any queries with regard to any of the above, please don’t hesitate to be in touch.
Every blessing,
David
