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.
