Benefice Service - Sunday 31st August, 9.30am, Hilgay

Please note that the August Benefice service will be held at All Saint's Church in Hilgay on Sunday 31st August at 9.30am. Revd Peter Leech, the Diocesan Director of Mission and Ministry, will be leading the service. As with the last Benefice service that we held at Crimplesham, we have arranged for bell ringers to join us and ring before the service.

Anna Friends Training - Saturday 27th September

Alongside the development of Anna Chaplains, another role has emerged organically: that of an Anna Friend. Such volunteers are proving invaluable as they work alongside the Anna Chaplains, often giving a few hours a week to suit their own circumstances and play to their strengths and gifts. In this way, whether as Anna Chaplains or Anna Friends, the Anna Chaplaincy movement is empowering more lay people to be part of supporting older people and meeting their spiritual needs.

If you feel a calling to serve our community as an Anna Friend, we would love to hear from you. Please speak to Revd Nigel, Jonathan, or Pat to learn more about how you can get involved. There is also an opportunity to attend an Anna Friend training day on Saturday 27th September at St Mary's Church Ely, from 10am to 2pm (including lunch). If you would like to attend, please contact the Ely Diocese Anna Chaplaincy coordinator via anna.chaplaincy@elydiocese.org.
