WALSINGHAM CELL OF
OUR LADY AND HOLY TRINITY
The next meeting of the Walsingham Cell will be at 7.00pm on Thursday 4th July at Holy Trinity Church, West Runton where we will be praying the Rosary, led by a Cell member. If you have ever wished to find out more about praying the Rosary, this is your chance!
We are arranging a mid-week pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady at Walsingham to take place from 1st to 3rd October. The pilgrimage starts on Tuesday afternoon and finishes after lunch on the Thursday. There is also an option to just join us for a day pilgrimage on the Wednesday.
October is not that far away now and the pilgrimages are very popular, so if you are interested in joining us, or would like further details, please contact Ali Wharton as soon as possible by email [email protected] or mobile 07880 776720.
ECO CHURCH @ BEESTON REGIS 💚
Beeston Regis continues to take small steps on the Eco Church journey and plans to get a group together in the local community to ascertain common interests, areas of specialism and discuss how to make Eco Church work in our context.
ECO TIP FOR JULY 💚 (Taken from A Rocha UK’s Easy Eco Tips 2024 Calendar)
Taste the benefits of seasonal and local food. Plan to incorporate locally grown produce into your diet and shopping list throughout the seasons, as it is harvested at its peak ripeness, ensuring superior flavour compared to imported alternatives that have travelled thousands of miles. If saying grace before a meal is a regular practice in your household, this month, include giving thanks for your local food producers.
CHILDREN'S MINISTRY
Our Quintet Benefice’s small Open the Book Team has been greatly enjoying its delivery of assemblies to Gresham Village School twice every term. It has been rewarding to witness our relationship with the Headteacher and his staff community developing; and delightful that the children are so passionate and fervent in their contribution to our storytelling.
This short and lively act of collective worship, with a script from the Bible Society, Bible stories from the Lion Storyteller Bible and quiet time for reflection and all-inclusive prayer, is taken into schools all over the UK, and other countries as well, by groups of people from local churches.
This month we say “Goodbye” and “Thank You” to John Hodgkinson, a founding team member from Cromer church who was also a past Headteacher at the school. We are grateful for his helping us find our feet and boosting our numbers but now understand he has the Cromer schools to attend to.
Therefore, we are praying for and seeking new volunteer storytellers, linked to any of our 5 churches, to join our Quintet Benefice Open the Book team as soon as possible. A DBS check will be required for safeguarding adherence and this will be organised and funded by the Benefice for you.
The time commitment would be one 90 minute meeting per term for planning and praying for that term’s assemblies plus 2 short afternoon assemblies per term with a rehearsal lasting 90 mins beforehand on each occasion. Transport to Sheringham and Gresham can be arranged for those without it.
There are no pre-requisites in terms of qualifications or experience. A passion for, and commitment to, sharing God’s word with children is essential. Training is available to you, in person or online. We seek to embrace diversity and strive to be inclusive so do not be hindered from expressing interest if you have any disability. If you would be curious to know more, perhaps without committing yourself at this stage, do approach Amanda Wooster, Co-ordinator of Open the Book for the Quintet Benefice on [email protected] or 07985 291930. You are also welcome to come observe us in action at our next assembly to find out more.

THE BEESTON REGIS CHARITIES OF EDMUND HOOKE AND UNKNOWN DONOR
The Charities were founded 300 years ago by Edmund Hooke, a wealthy wool merchant, to help those in need living in Beeston Regis or within the ancient parish of Beeston Regis (which stretched to Beeston Road in the west).
So, if you or your family living with you, are in need of financial assistance the Charities may be able to help.
Grants may be made for a variety of needs such as provision or repair of necessary equipment, unexpected expenses associated with illness or bereavement and the like, including costs of visiting loved ones in hospital.
Unless due to sudden and unforeseen problems, the Trustees are not able to make grants to clear existing general debts such as Council Tax etc. However, in these uncertain times we are all facing different financial issues and we might be able to help, so please do not hesitate to ask.
All enquiries will be treated in the strictest of confidence.
In the first instance contact the Parish Clerk, Peter Bullimore, 24 Beech Avenue, Sheringham NR26 8NS or call him on 01263 822864 or email: [email protected]
