Janet Guy, churchwarden at East Tuddenham, has asked that people be informed that she "will be collecting shoe boxes for Blythswood again this year. it is probably the only parcel the children will receive and at this difficult time it will be more important than ever. If you would like to fill a box please get them to me by the middle of October, if you are not able to fill a box but would like to contribute either money towards transport costs, or just a few items towards filling a box, that would be really helpful."

Boxes can be left her my porch 7 Mattishall Road East Tuddenham or at Alan and Sue Cossey's at 4 Mill Road, Mattishall. Please mark clearly what they are.

For more information please check the Blythswood website at https://blythswood.org/

Mark

The first full series (Trusting the Gospels) is now available to listen to online HERE.  The people involved are Andrew Ollerton, who led The Course, which many of us (50+) in the benefice have taken part in, as well as staff from Tyndale House, headed up by Peter J. Williams, who, again, some of us have heard speak in videos.

If you want to learn more about why the gospels are trustworthy, particularly if you want to tell other people, this is a short series well worth checking out.

If you have any questions, do please contact Alan Cossey (see the Who's Who page on this benefice web site for details).

So looking forward to doing this next week end 12th and 13th September. If you are able to sponser me that would be great. I would love it if any of you wish to join Mark and I as we walk between the churches. The route will be posted here and on the benefice Facebook page later in the week.

There is a new audio series on Trusting the Gospels by Andrew Ollerton (from The Bible Course which over 50 of us have done in the benefice) and Peter J. Williams from Tyndale House in Cambridge, which covers material similar to Peter Williams excellent, 140-page book "Can we trust the Gospels?" which came out earlier this year. Both Andrew Ollerton and Peter Williams know their stuff and, importantly, how to put it across in a way that the ordinary man or woman can understand. If you are interested in knowing why we should trust the Gospels (that should be all of us), then do have a listen to the first episode. You can hear it online at https://trustingthebible.buzzsprout.com/.../4327502... and you can download the actual audio file from https://www.buzzsprout.com/.../4327502-trusting-the...

PS Peter J. Williams doesn't include the "J." in his name, because he is a poser, but to distinguish himself from at least two other UK Christian leaders called, "Peter Williams".

Hi everyone,

During this time of lockdown many of us who are able to have been taking extra walks around our communities.  This prompted me to draw up a village trail for Mattishall.  It is designed for adults alone or adults accompanied by children so nothing too taxing! Just for fun!

If you would like to participate you can download the form from the resources section of the benefice website here or fill it in online, e.g. on a smartphone, here. In addition to these, feel free to pick up a paper copy from my home -  4 Mill Road, Mattishall (Turn right off the main Dereham Rd just past Mattishall News going towards Dereham). Such a copy can be collected at any reasonable time! The closing date for completion is 30^th June and small prize awaits the winner.  Hope you enjoy.

God bless

Sue Cossey
