A few years ago I watched a clip on you tube of what happens after a forest fire. It was created by using photos taken from a static camera over several months. The early images showed the devastation caused by the horrific fire – the trees were charred and much of the undergrowth was seemingly destroyed.

In preparing for the information afternoon for those who have joined the church in the last five or so years I began thinking about the last seven years I have had the privilege of being vicar of Old Felixstowe. It made me think about what has changed and how we have sought to grow together in our faith. This led me to look at the application I wrote for the role. In my application I highlighted four key priorities I discerned from the profile of the parish.

RESULTS:

Church Warden: Judy Jones

PCC: Naomi Roberts

The Garden Of Remembrance at St Peter and St Paul church in Old Felixstowe will soon be open again following a much needed renovation which has made it easier to maintain, and ensure it continues to meet the future needs of the Parish.

Everyone is invited on Sunday 2nd March at 2:00 pm for a brief service of re-dedication followed by refreshments in The Link.

One of the many joys of being vicar of Old Felixstowe is when I get the opportunity I get to spend with people, talking about faith and prayer. I am struck by the rich experience that people have and the desire to grow in depth in their relationship with Jesus.

The 2025 week of prayer for Christian Unity will be taking place from Saturday 18th until Sunday 25th January.
