SUMMARY:LECTIO DIVINA - a way of being with scripture and other sacred texts
DESCRIPTION:We host a monthly group Lectio Divina session in the cathedral library\, on the SECOND FRIDAY of every month at 2.30pm. \nLectio Divina is a contemplative way of reading the Bible\, focusing on a short passage and allowing it to speak to us. The passage is read aloud\, and we may share a word or phrase that resonates with us\, but without discussion. It is a traditional Benedictine approach to the scriptures. \nOpen to all\, readings and full outline of the approach provided. Come along to try it out\, or contact Gudrun at gwarren@cathedral.org.uk if you would like to know more.

SUMMARY:Homegrown Share and Prayer Event
DESCRIPTION: \nDate: Friday\, January 24\, 2024\nTime: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM\nLocation: St John’s the Evangelist\, Blackfriars Rd\, King’s Lynn PE30 1NT\nRefreshments provided\n\n\nThe Homegrown project aims to paint a clear picture of the situation facing children and young people in West Norfolk\, including who is actively working and able to collaborate to grow this type of work. Join the conversation as we consider what might enable us to work more collaboratively across our borough for children and families.\nAt the end of the 2025 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity\, Churches Together in King’s Lynn\, the Diocese of Norwich and Imagine Norfolk Together invite local Christians and community leaders to an exciting three-part sharing\, networking and prayer event. This is an opportunity for everyone passionate about seeing children and young people flourish\, to come together to hear about and discuss the current landscape facing young people in our area\, learn about how local churches are currently engaging\, and explore ways to collaborate for greater impact.\nWhy Attend?\nAcross West Norfolk\, there are many local Christians in Churches across the borough\, dedicated to supporting children\, young people and their families in their communities who face daily challenges. However\, these good efforts often occur in isolation\, which can lead to unintentional duplication of resources and burnout. This event aims to begin bridge that gap. By understanding what churches are already doing and identifying key areas for collaboration\, we can maximize our collective impact.\nEvent Outline:\n\n\n4 – 4:45pm- Introductions and Sharing:\nHear responses from local church and community leaders to our recent survey. Learn about current initiatives focused on children and youth\, and the challenges identified by churches and organizations. This sharing will be enriched by sharing key themes emerging from the desk research\, which has compiled data from a number local organisations\, highlighting the pressing issues faced by families in Kings Lynn and West Norfolk.\n\n\n4:45 – 5:15pm – Networking:\nEngage in meaningful conversations with fellow attendees\, including church leaders\, local organizations\, and schools. This networking session is designed to foster connections that can lead to collaborative efforts in addressing community needs.\n\n\n5:20 – 6:00pm – Time of Prayer:\nThose who wish to stay are invited to join Bishop Jane Steen in prayer\, where we will thank God for the good work already being done and seek His guidance for future collaborations. We believe prayer is a powerful force for unity and transformation\, and essential to our work as the Church moving forward together.\n\n\nKey Aims of the Homegrown Project:\n\nAddress Inequality: Create a stronger response to the challenges faced by children and families in our community.\nBetter Stewardship: Enhance the effective use of church resources to support children\, young people\, and families.\nStronger Connections: Build relationships between the Church and local organisations and authorities to influence borough-wide change.\nVisible Faith Expression: Promote a confident and visible Christian presence in West Norfolk.\n\nThis gathering is crucial not only for the churches but also for non-church organizations\, schools\, and community members who share a commitment to the well-being of our young people. Together\, we can map the current landscape of outreach and identify collaborative paths forward.\nGet Involved:\nPlease complete our survey to provide insights into your church’s outreach efforts here Homegrown Survey.\nOr complete it on behalf of your organisation https://bit.ly/homegrown-orgs or school https://bit.ly/homegrown-schools\nFor questions or more information\, contact Vicki Price at vicki.price@dioceseofnorwich.org.\nLet’s come together in unity\, compassion\, and purpose. \nWe look forward to seeing you there!

The event is being held at Holy Trinity Church\, Norwich\, on Saturday 25th January 2025 and will be a day of encouragement for women across the East of England to gather\, worship\, be taught from the Bible and equipped to live out their faith in their churches\, communities and families. \nKaren Soole\, (Author of Unleash the Word and Liberation: How the Bible Exalts and Dignifies Women)\, will be teaching from Ecclesiastes and unpacking what it has to say to us as we navigate the many complexities and seasons of life. There will also be opportunities to sing together\, pray\, enjoy a delicious lunch\, browse our brilliant 10ofthose bookstall and connect with others. \nA range of exciting seminars will be on offer to attend on relevant topics including: “A time for everything – really? How to make the most of the time God has given us” \,”Hormonally challenged? How do our hormones interact with our ability to live godly and joyful lives?” and “Planting seeds: little steps to sharing your faith”. \nThe conference planning team\, made up of representatives from churches across Norfolk\, hope it will be a day of blessing for hundreds of local women and an opportunity to grow together in faith. \nLast year’s conference did sell out\, so we are encouraging people to book early to secure their space. Tickets cost £14 (£10 for under 18s\, students and those on low incomes) and lunch is included. If cost is an issue\, please do get in touch with the planning team via the website.
