Events

All are welcome to join in with this relaxed opportunity to pray and study the Bible together.

This service takes place every Maundy Thursday at Norwich Cathedral as the clergy of the Diocese meet with their Bishop to worship together and to renew their Ordination Vows. Each year members of our parish churches are encouraged to attend too; to pledge their commitment to supporting their priests and to offer their own lives to the service of God. The service includes Holy Communion. During the service the Bishop also blesses the holy oils. A light lunch is provided for those attending in the transepts after the service. Anyone is welcome to attend this service, but please let the vicar know a week beforehand if you would like to be included in the lunch numbers.

On this evening we remember Jesus’ last supper with his disciples before his arrest. We are reminded of his example of service as he washed their feet. We share in Holy Communion, just as he commanded them to do whenever they ate bread and drank wine together. At the end of the service, as we listen to the account of his arrest, the altar is stripped and the church made ready to keep Good Friday in simplicity.

As we remember Jesus’ journey through Jerusalem to the cross we go on our own pilgrimage around the churches of the Benefice. At each church we will pause for a short meditation before setting off on our journey again.
All are welcome. Come just to walk or just to pray. You may wish to join in by car. You may want to come to some of the day, or you may wish to be with us for all of it. Four legged friends who like to walk are welcome to come along too.
Hot cross buns and a cup of tea or coffee will be provided at Seething Village Hall. You are welcome to add your own picnic if you wish.
Meditations begin at the times listed below and last approximately ten minutes. We will leave a few minutes after each one for the next venue.

Everyone is invited to come along to celebrate the dawning of Easter Day. There will be a short open air act of worship as we remember the disciples discovering Jesus’ Resurrection and celebrate the hope of new life by lighting the Easter fire. At the conclusion we will go indoors to share together in a celebration breakfast.

All are welcome to join in with this relaxed opportunity to pray and study the Bible together.
