OUR BENEFICE IS NOW IN ‘VACANCY MODE’ since our Rector has retired; but keep in touch and you will find there is plenty going on in our villages.
During the vacancy we are building a new team of people to cover different aspects of our church life.
We need volunteers!
Step forward one pace! Over the past two years there has been major disruption to our church services, many of them being by Zoom to our homes. Last month we started to bring services back to all our village churches.
But we need help! To keep our churches functioning we need help with some of the jobs that are done during the services such as sides-people to welcome folks in and hand out books, singing in the choir, reading and praying and helping with refreshments after church services. There is flower arranging, cleaning the churches and brass, churchyard maintenance etc and there is bell-ringing at Rougham church.
If you feel able to help in any way, please contact Revd Graham Rendle on 01359 270924 or any church member who will point you in the right direction. Thank you in anticipation.
