St Andrew’s Church in Little Massingham is hosting a special bat evening on Saturday August 9.

The evening will include a talk, live camera feeds, and a chance to encounter bats.

St Andrew’s has a total of four species of bats which have made the church their home. Over a number of years a specialist bat count has taken place there.
 
Philip Parker, who is an expert and licensed bat handler, will be giving a short talk which will include details of the resident bats living in the church. These consist of Soprano pipistrelles, Common pipistrelles, Brown long-eared and the larger Serotine bat.

This event is by donation and any money raised will be going to the church.

Drawn to imperfection is both a book and exhibition offering an engaging invitation into the story of the bible. As you meet 21 characters from scripture and experience a creative re-telling of their story, there is the opportunity to explore through their eyes a deeper understanding of the heart of God. The exhibition at Lighthouse is described as an inspiring and unique resource that gives space to encounter God and engage with the humanity of those who walked through the pages of the bible.
The artist is Dave Nevard, and his exhibition featured in an episode of BBC’s Songs of Praise when he exhibited in his own church in York back in February this year.
Entry to the exhibition will be free, and all are welcome to come along.

St Andrews will be holding an Afternoon Tea later this month to raise funds for the Good Shepherd Orphanage in Tanzania, and all are invited to come along and support this cause. The Good Shepherd's House is St Andrews’ chosen charity for this year. The orphanage houses 10 children between the ages of 3 and 17 years and has been effectively running with house parents since the summer of 2022.  It is supported by the partnership of charities ‘Together 4 Him’ and ‘Win All for Christ’. Alongside the orphanage, the charities are financing the building of a new Community Hub, pictured above, which will house a nursery and community space.  The latest phase of building has seen the installation of a brilliant red roof.  The next phase will be providing and fitting windows and doors.
 

Do join us for this jolly recital featuring Ralph Cupper (Norway), Richard Bower (Dereham) and Mathew Martin (Aylsham).

Even if you’re unfamiliar with organ recitals, this is an opportunity to enjoy music by composers such as Tchaikovsky, Bach and Weaver in an informal atmosphere.

Entrance is free although there will be a retiring collection.
Everyone is welcome to stay for light refreshments following the recital.

Plans are being finalized for this year’s BeachLife activity week outreach on Sheringham clifftops and beach, and the week promises to be enormous fun for the whole family.
BeachLife is organised by the churches in Sheringham, and has been running the free summer activity weeks since 2012, as well as indoor beach parties at other times of the year. The aim is to reach out to local children and young people, with four days of games, activities, and teaching, but many holidaymakers also come along to join in the fun.
The fun will start at 10.30am each day with the Beach Special at the clifftop marquee on the Leas. This will include challenges, drama, music, and even the gunge tank! The young people will then go off to their age-related “Going Deeper” groups to find out more about that day’s theme, finding out more about Jesus.
Registration each day will be from 10.15am at the marquee on The Leas, .
