Light Party

Thank you to all who helped at or prayed for this year's light party on Thursday evening.

We welcomed an astounding 210 people over the course of 2 hours. Offering the Light of Christ to all, children took home lanterns to light in Advent, wrote heartfelt pumpkin prayers, played glow in the dark bowling, ate doughnuts on string, enjoyed refreshments and plenty of treats. 

Well done to Julia, Sue, Debra and Carol for planning this event. 

 

Glenda Bertram’s ‘Celebration of Life’

Glenda Bertram’s 'Celebration of Life' in church, after a direct cremation, will be on Tuesday 12th November at 12noon, followed by refreshments. The ‘Celebration of Life’ will be livestreamed, and Glenda’s wishes were that there are no suits and ties and everyone is to wear bright colours please.

Please pray for John, and their daughters Leigh and Gemma, and grandchildren Teal, Loic, Kian, Lilah and Skye.

 

Review of Heacham Parish Church Tithes

Each year Heacham Parish Church distributes a certain amount of its income to an agreed list of charities. The list of charities that the church will be supporting in 2025 is currently

being reviewed by the Parochial Church Council (PCC). The PCC would welcome suggestions for one local charity and one world charity that would then be considered for support in 2025. Please give any suggestions to the church wardens, or email them to the Parish Church Office at the email address below.

Some info on the film: This immensely powerful film features frontline champions from around the world. Each person represents a voice that is not being heard: the voice of the Indigenous, the voice of the young, the voice of the poor, and the voice of nature. The film follows these people coming together in dialogue with each other and with Pope Francis himself around care for our common home. Throughout the film, we see the characters find unity in their distinct worldviews and strength in the common values we all share.
