East Tuddenham

North Tuddenham's Mardle magazine for October 2023 is now available HERE.

Grove Books are a series of short "evangelica and Anglican" books on a wide range of topics and which can be a very good introduction to a subject. Over the years I have bought a good number of these and would like to make them available for borrowing to anyone who wants to borrow one or more.

Details of which books are available at https://matvchurch.uk/res/GroveBooks/Grove_Books_for_Borrowing.pdf. If you wish to borrow any for a couple of weeks or so, please contact me, Alan Cossey, at alan.cossey@matvchurch.uk or on 01362 857904. I can bring the booklet(s) along to ASM services or do feel free to pick it/them up from me directly at 4, Mill Road, Mattishall, Dereham, NR20 3RN.

The Grove Books website itself is at Grove Books - books to stimulate and equip the Christian community.

Mattishall appears in this BBC documentary from 1974. The small section about ASM can be seen at 5 mins 19 seconds into the documentary at https://youtu.be/EkqY-MBPTR8?t=319.

Were you one of the "little people" or even a mum then?

Dear Friends at All Saints - Mattishall,

Thank you so much for your kind gift of £704.00 to strengthen our persecuted church family around the world who are risking it all to follow Jesus. Thanks to your prayers and support, our brothers and sisters know they are not alone and can stand strong in their faith.

Among those helped is Pastor Jonathan and his church in Indonesia. On 13 May 2018, a bomb was detonated during a service, killing eight people and wounding five. Seven years earlier, the pastor attended a seminar run by Open Doors local partners to prepare believers for persecution – and he believes this helped him stand strong following the attack.

“It seemed like the seminar was prepping me for the explosion that occurred seven years later, so thank you Open Doors,” says the pastor, who adds: “I want to express my gratitude to my brothers and sisters who have prayed for my church and congregation. I can't repay your kindness. May God bless and reward you abundantly.”

May the Lord fill you with His Spirit and surround you with His love.

Your sister in Christ,

Henrietta Blyth

CEO, Open Doors UK and Ireland
