Bishop’s Day: ‘All are called’

Sat 16 May at 10.00 am - 3.30 pm

Norwich Cathedral, Norwich

Bishop Graham invites you to join him at Norwich Cathedral for a day of worship, reflection, workshops, and activities for all age groups as we think together about our call as Christians in God's world.

The day will begin with an interview with Bishop Graham, exploring what it means to be called by God. Throughout the day there will be opportunities to explore and dip into a wide range of interactive areas and reflective spaces throughout the Cathedral, giving space to reflect on what it means to live out God’s plan for each one of us.

There will be workshops, Bible studies, bread making, drama, music, choirs and more. Children are welcome and throughout the day workshops and activities will be available for all ages to join in. It will be a diverse day of celebration, discovery, reflection and enrichment and we would love you to join us. Come with others from your parish and benefice.

There will be a special creative act of worship at 2pm which you don’t want to miss!
