Christmas may seem like a distant memory now but as we had a joint December/ January newsletter, we have had to wait until now to show the photos for those who didn't catch them on our social media accounts.

I want to thank everyone involved in helping to make this year another joyful event to celebrate the birth of Jesus with the community.

The Bishop of Norwich posted on his twitter account in the lead up to Christmas:

Okay, so in the next 3 days, can we not say:

"Well it's nice to see you having not seen you in church all year" "Back for your annual visit" "So it was pub closing time then" "There's always space the rest of the year"

Just welcome everyone & delight that our churches are full!

It would be wonderful if our churches were packed all year round and more people could hear the good news of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ but we certainly welcomed everyone at Christmas with delight and will do whenever anyone walks through our doors. M O N T H L Y E D I T O R I A L

She was awarded the medal for services to charity and to vulnerable people in Cornwall by Prince William with her family there at the Palace.
