Dear church family

This Sunday is Pentecost – the ‘birthday’ of the church!  It’s the day when we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit – the comforter, the counsellor, the enabler.  As Jesus ascended into heaven and left his disciples to carry on his work here on earth, spreading the good news of God’s love, forgiveness and acceptance of us all, the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit.  God’s Holy Spirit is for us all, and we pray daily to be filled with the Spirit to enable and encourage us in our discipleship journey.

This Sunday, our main benefice service will be led by Café Church at St Botolph’s, Trunch at 11.00am.  There’s plenty of parking outside the church, on the hardstanding outside the Crown, and surrounding roads.  Or in the Village Hall car park.

For early risers who prefer a quieter service we have a service of Holy Communion from the Book of Common Prayer at All Saints’, Mundesley at 8.00am.

So our Sunday services are:

8.00am    Holy Communion (said) from the Book of Common Prayer, Mundesley church

11.00am  Benefice service of Holy Communion for Pentecost, led by Café Church, Trunch church
