Gateway Church to hold a Bless our NHS service With the continuing challenges to health workers, the Gateway Church in King’s Lynn is organising a Bless Our NHS service. Pastor Andy Moyle explains. As a church we have lots of frontline NHS staff. Over the last year we have cheered them on. We have prayed for them and supported them. We have seen their exhaustion. Help has been offered in practical ways as nearly all of them have suffered with Covid-19. So we are all too aware of the immense physical and emotional pressure that NHS staff are under at this time.

Quiet Waters Retreat launches £100,000 appeal Quiet Waters Christian Retreat in Bungay is organising a day of prayer on the future of the centre and appealing for £100,000 for essential repairs. The team and Trustees of Quiet Waters write: At this time of year, we tend to remember the past 12 months and also look forward to the coming year. Perhaps more than ever this New Year we will be expecting the future to be considerably brighter than the recent past. Here at Quiet Waters we re approaching our fiftieth birthday and looking back over nearly five decades we are overwhelmed at what God has been doing with everyday people in this sleepy corner of East Anglia. It is such a privilege to be a small part of His plan.
Norfolk’s trail-blazing architect awarded MBE Norfolk-based architect David Thompson was recently awarded an MBE by the Queen for his services to architecture and to the community. He shared something of his rich story with Eldred Willey. For David, coming to Norwich was an answer to prayer. He had done some solid years of work for BDP, a multi-discipline design practice in Tottenham Court Road, central London. But he was feeling it was time to move on. Should he go north, south, east or west? No idea. He decided to leave the car at home three days a week and pray as he walked to work from central Islington. After a while he would arrive at work realising he could not remember the walk, so focussed had he been on finding some direction in life.
Norfolk church s bursaries for young missionaries The Way church in Hunstanton has created a bursary scheme to help Christian students in Norfolk get experience of foreign mission. Gordon Tanner reports. At The Way Christian Fellowship in Hunstanton have been considering how to serve the town, and the age ranges where we have some activity. We saw there was a gap in the 18-30’s age range. So we have established a bursary scheme aimed at providing assistance to students wishing to further their Christian experience by involvement in Christian mission. There will be two bursaries available each year, one for £2000 to assist a student who wishes to spend at least six months working with an overseas mission, the other for £1000 to assist a student who wishes to go for a shorter time to a recognized mission training programme which will include practical mission experience.
