East Tuddenham

Tori is being licensed as Assistant Curate to our benefice at All Saints, Mattishall on Tuesday 9th May in a service starting at 18:00. The Bishop of Lynn, Jane Steen, and the Archdeacon of Lynn, Catherine Dobson, will be with us. Do please come along to support Tori and her family as they start their life with us in our benefice.

There will be refreshments afterwards, so do stay for a while afterwards if you can.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Two documents about All Saints, Welborne, have been uploaded to this website that may interest you. One is a leaflet from 2015 giving details about the church building at that time (before the Fawlty Towers project, which provided a servery and loo) and a booklet, which gives details of the inscriptions in both the church building itself and on the memorials in the churchyard.

Please click on the links above to see the items.

We will have all seen the harrowing accounts coming from southern Turkey and north-west Syria and wish to contribute financially to helping people there. There are several appeals starting to appear, including www.dec.org.uk, the organisation that coordinates responses among 15 British charities, including several Christian ones. One of ASM's mission partners is Open Doors, an organisation that helps persecuted Christians, and they have their own appeal HERE. Open Doors will be aiming to specifically help Christians there, a group that will struggle even more than other people, difficult though that is to imagine, because many Christians in Syria are desperately poor already and miss out in relief work generally.

One of ASM's prayer partners is Open Doors, an organisation that supports persecuted Christians around the world. North Korea is generally recognised as the most difficult place in the world to be a Christian. Below are some details of support given to some of those fleeing that country to China and some of the major problems that still face them there.

Open Doors, one of ASM's mission partners, has just published its World Watch List for 2023 at www.opendoorsuk.org/persecution/world-watch-list. If you click on any of the country names you will get to see something of the cost of being a Christian in that country. May this inspire us to help our brothers and sisters through Open Doors itself or in whatever other way we can.
