A CELEBRATION
A special time for Val |Howard as we celebrated over 45 years as St Nicholas Church Flower Organiser and Arranger.
Val has given and continues to give, so much to the church with her experience and expertise in flowers and planning for the church year.
The St Nicholas Church Flower Team and Rev’d Sue Martin met at the home of Helen Fowler in August to celebrate with cakes, flowers and a very special ThankYou card from Rt Reverend Jane Steen, The Bishop of Lynn.
Val will still be involved with the flowers for many years ahead.

PARISH WALKS
Over the coming months there will be a range of walks for all abilities so there should be something to suit almost everyone. If you’re not a walker why not come along and join us for, or help, with refreshments? These walks have proved to be popular ~ they are also great social events, a chance to chat and get to know those from other villages across the Benefice. Remember to wear strong footwear as walks often include tracks and fields which are uneven or possibly muddy. Why not join us sometime?
