SUMMARY:Go with the FLOW
DESCRIPTION:Visitors are invited to enjoy a unique day of worship\, community and family-friendly activities during the FLOW event at How Hill on Sunday 19th July. Organised by the Waterside Benefice\, which includes the churches of Catfield\, Ludham and Potter Heigham\, the event will take place on the main field and in the gardens of How Hill House. FLOW has been created to bring Christian ministry to the Broads\, making church accessible\, engaging and enjoyable for all. \nThe event builds on the success of last year\, when a group from the Waterside Benefice along with Bishop Ian\, the Bishop of Thetford\, travelled around the Broads aboard the historic Wherry Albion\, stopping at various staithes\, holding services and running activities. \nThe day will begin with a Service of Holy Communion at 8.30am\, led by Bishop Ian\, who is again lending his support to the initiative. He will then also lead a Songs of Praise service at 11.00am. There will be a variety of activities to take part in throughout the day\, including crafts\, opportunities for conversation\, music and a treasure hunt. Refreshments will be available\, with tea\, coffee\, homemade cakes and freshly cooked bacon rolls on offer. Bring a chair and your own lunch time picnic to enjoy in the company of others. \nOrganisers hope FLOW will appeal not only to regular churchgoers but also to those who may be curious about faith or simply looking for an enjoyable day out. Whether people come for the crafts\, the conversation\, the music\, or the chance to connect with faith\, there will be something for everyone.
