Parker Sermon

Dear all,

You are cordially invited to a service of Evening Prayer at ASM as above. The preacher will be Malcolm Brown, who was Director of Mission and Public Affairs for the Archbishops’ Council of the Church of England before retiring recently. He was formerly Principal of the Eastern Region Ministry Course (ERMC)  within the Cambridge Theological Federation, having previously spent ten years as Executive Secretary of the William Temple Foundation in Manchester. His early ministry was as a parish priest and industrial missioner in Kent and Southampton.

ERMC is well known to your LLMs as it is with ERMC that the Norwich LLM training team are partnered for some of the LLM training and has been so for many years.

Malcolm will be basing his sermon on one (or both) of Acts 16:9-15 and John 5:1-9. Do please join us if you can.

How To Find Us

To reach St. Mary's Church, we recommend you have a good look at it on Google Maps! If coming from the Dereham direction, bear left off the A47 at turn off marked "N. Tuddenham". Turn right as soon as you are off the A47 then next right into Fox Lane and follow the road over the top of the A47. After passing North Tuddenham village hall on your left, turn right at the crossroads then immediately left. After a short distance on your left side is a sign marking the entrance to a land leading to St. Mary's. There is a small amount of parking space at the end of the lane on your left, but you may wish to swing round at the end and head back out slightly and park on the left side of the lane.
If coming from the Norwich direction, leave the A47 at the exit marked "N. Tuddenham" then turn left onto Fox Lane. Pick up the instructions from that point from those above.
If coming from the Mattishall direction, head down Burgh Lane from Mattishall and at the end, turn left onto an unnamed road marked towards "North Tuddenham". Follow the road, bearing right. Keep on this road until you head slightly down a hill to cross the river Tud and ascend the other side. The entrance to the lane down to St. Mary's is at the top of the hill on your right.
