A chilly day in Skellefteå, minus 19 this morning, but a warm welcome to the Diocese of Luleå Porvoo link diocese with @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social. Looking forward to welcoming rural deans soon!

Gathering beforehand, the Mayor opening the Mart and Canons Mark Dimond and Adrian Ling lined up for a ride. Great weather, large turnout and a fun family day at King's Lynn mart. @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social

Amazing day in King's Lynn for the opening of the Mart. Great to be part of such a historic event and to see the Showmen and women from across the country. @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social

Really excellent Deanery Synod and Day in Inworth & Sparham @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social enthusiasm and conversations so good that I forgot about photos! Faithful people, brilliant school, great clergy and very good social outreach. Oh and lovely churches. Thank you to everyone involved.

Hard work clearing St Paul's Great Yarmouth from the Bread Kitchen - found the West Window! @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social

Beautiful Eucharist, S Nicholas, Wells-next-the-Sea today. A spacious church with a great congregation (who unfortunately don't appear in the picture!). We're interviewing for this soon but see www.dioceseofnorwich.org/about/clergy... for other ministry opportunities. @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social

Sad to see newspapers decry Church Commissioners' attempt to right wrongs of slaving (Project Spire).The money isn't from church collections.The chattel slave trade was iniquitous. Scripture says, 'Do not tire of doing good' (Gal. 6:9). So let's support those affected. @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social

Really pleased to institute Josh as Rector of Gayton & Grimston benefice this evening. Please pray for him, Bethany and the children, the ten parishes of the benefice, the many churchwardens and all who keep the faith there.Thank you to the clergy for supporting today! @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social

Just arrived at beautiful S Mary Brancaster for the 4pm carol service. Glorious to be leading this. The Word became flash and lived among us. Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

Thank you @malcolmguite.bsky.social for an amazing retreat in Canterbury Cathedral. Poems as prayers, phrases to feed the soul, an alphabet of prayer. The attention of my mind was awakened. Thank you.

I'm holding on to Advent but Christmas is coming. If you're starting the food shop, @trusselluk.bsky.social food banks could do with non perishable items too. Add a few and help someone else's family to a better Christmas @churchofengland.org @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social

A priest-in-charge and a curate for the Coxfords group of parishes licensed this evening. A great start to Advent. Please pray for both clergy and all with whom they minister @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social

It was wonderful to open Fakenham parish church's Christmas tree festival on Wednesday: 25 years, over £1.5m for charity. Check BBC Look East (27/11) to watch - or go to King's Lynn Minster for theirs if you missed it. @revkyla.bsky.social @revtracyjessop.bsky.social @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social

Want an Advent calendar with a difference? Keen to support your local
Food bank? We shared this at Lynn deanery from @trusselluk.bsky.social Advent is a season of penitent preparation: with fasting, prayer and acts of service, may we enter it with generous hearts. @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social.

In beautiful St George's Tombland @dioceseofnorwich to give a talk on the Nicene Creed. And people are here! Bit scary...

A splendid confirmation in the beautiful, tiny St Margaret's church, Worthing. Candles and hazel trees shown here in front of the font - hollowed out from a churchyard cross many moons ago. Thank you to everyone who arranged the service, read, prayed, and arranged tea. @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social

Donating to a food bank in @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social? 29% of food bank parcels go to families of 5+. Let's help to give young people and the whole UK a future: end the 2 child cap as part of making social security work. @trusselluk.bsky.social @churchofengland.org @kingslynnfoodbank.bsky.social

Brilliant Black History Month service @norwichcathedral.bsky.social with International Music Group drummers, Norfolk African Choir singers and Archdeacon Chigor's inspiring sermon.

A good Sunday in the Lynn area of @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social. Lovely time in S Mary Reepham this morning and off to the Black History Month service @norwichcathedral.bsky.social later. Photos from Reepham here - new Vicar coming soon!
