HYMN MARATHON in the Church from 8.30am
Residents of North Lopham, and friends from the Benefice and beyond are invited to sponsor a favourite hymn, or a hymn in memory of a loved one - or indeed to sponsor the event itself. A new challenge is to play the tunes of 600 hymns during the day, so a bit extra time will be necessary. There is an open invitation to call into the church at any time of the day, to listen, to meet friends over refreshments, and to sing along during the afternoon. In order to meet the challenge, it will be necessary to play fairly steadily throughout the morning. The funds raised this year will be added to the Fabric Fund, to help pay for the installation of a toilet, suitable for all to use, in the base of the church tower. Thank you in advance to all who wish to support the effort. Jennie Vere.
Incumbent: Revd Rob Mellowship Chairman
Churchwardens: Jean Stringfield & Richard Vere (Lay Vice Chair/Treasurer)
Synod Representatives: Richard Vere & Jennifer Vere (Secretary; Diocesan Synod Rep)
Elected members: Alan Briggs, Joan Muncila, Jon Rogers & Archie Wright.
We have an excellent band of sidespeople who delight in welcoming people to our services, and a growing band of youngsters who share this important job at the 11 o'clock service.
All our services are followed by Fellowship over refreshments at the back of the church, and we look forward to seeing new faces amongst us.
Our next big project is to re-order the church tower so that we can offer toilet facilities to everyone, and install a small kitchen area. To enable this, a new ringing floor for the bell ringers will be needed, accessed from the tower spiral staircase.
The folk at North Lopham love getting together for social events -
to which everyone from across the benefice and beyond is assured of a warm welcome.
