THE UPPER NAR GROUP OF PARISHES
FROM THE RECTOR
Fetes and Festivals marked June and July bringing people
together for a variety of good causes and for various religious
observances. They are productive in so many ways. Community life
generates them and they in turn feed our sense of cohesion and
belonging. We are grateful to all who organised and took part in them.
August is always an unusual month; a busy time in the fields and for
our farmers and a time of holiday and recreation for others. I hope
that the provision of Joint Benefice Services will provide a creative
way of bringing us together and will afford us with a sense of fresh
beginnings when the normal pattern returns in September.
In Church life we then turn our attention to Beeston and the Service of
Thanksgiving and Re-dedication on the 8th September, the Feast of the
Nativity of Saint Mary the Virgin when the Bishop of Norwich will
officiate.
Later, on Advent Sunday at the end of November, we will celebrate
the major works which have been accomplished at another of our lovely
Churches, All Saints Great Fransham.
