News & Features

Tomorrow (Monday 20th October 2025) should see a new advert placed on the diocesan website and the national Church of England website as we have our third attempt at getting a new incumbent. When those are actually in place, we'll add links to them here. In the meantime, you can see the new benefice profile, which will form part of that advertising. It can be opened or downloaded HERE.

The exact wording of an advert to go in the Church Times, both online and in the actual newspaper, is being checked, but will also be put on our website when done.

Dear Friends at All Saints - Mattishall, 

Thank you so much for your kind gift of £287.00 to strengthen your 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.
When 15-year-old Godwin* tragically lost his father in an attack on their village by Islamist militants, he couldn’t stop crying, and he struggled to eat. For him and his family, the pain was unbearable.
That began to change when Godwin and his siblings attended a trauma care centre run by Open Doors local partners.
“I am thankful to God because of how He is making me strong,” he says. “I was taught forgiveness and I’ve been able to forgive those who killed my dad – that is why I am thankful, because I have received healing.”

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
