Retirement of Revd. Penny
Our Assistant Priest, Revd. Penny, retired at Easter.
In her own words:
'Easter Day will see my last Service in the Easton Benefice. I thought I was coming for one year and ended up staying for four and a half years during which time I have felt very much part of the community. I go thankful for my time spent amongst you and all the times that we have spent together and wish you well for the future. God Bless'.
Revd. Penny resided over the Easter Service at Marlingford Church. She was given a heart felt thank you for her work in the Easton Benefice and her help in setting up the Benefice Prayer Group and 'Open the Book' at Easton School. Felicity Maton, churchwarden at Marlingford church, presented Revd. Penny with a bouquet of flowers at the end of the service (photo with thanks to Tony Perry).
We in the Benefice are sad to see her go but are very grateful for all Revd Penny has brought to the Benefice during her time with us and we wish her every success in her new ventures.
Bawburgh Churchyard
A big thank you to all the volunteers who helped with the winter 'Bawburgh churchyard clean up'. The current volunteers of the lawn mowing team welcome extra help, which involves trimming, tidying and clearing any rubbish. I hope you may wish to join us again in 2022.St Walstan's Day 2022

We are fortunate to have Bishop Jane, the Bishop of Lynn, residing over the service this year which starts with Holy Communion at 11 am followed by the procession to St Walstan's well. Everyone is invited to attend this festival of our local saint.
