  Thought for the Week
We publish a weekly 'podcast' and written commentary on issues affecting our community, both here in Fakenham and throughout the world.

  Sermons: Audio and Text
'Godcasting' has become one of the most popular elements of a 'new style' of church website. We have embraced this concept on our new website and offer here our sermons in text and audio format for you to experience in the comfort of your own home.

  Community Blog
Our blog is our 'interactive tool' to the community. Through our online blog we will explore a range of issues and provide you with the opportunity to respond with your thoughts and comments. We hope that this will become a place where people of our community, both locally and internationally, can come and express their points of view in a safe and secure environment.

Fakenham Parish Church - "Serving the Community"

As you approach the busy market town of Fakenham you are greeted by the massive 115ft Parish Church Tower which dominates the town. Fakenham Church was founded in the 14th Century and since that time it has an exciting history. Scarred by the reformation, housing gunpowder during the Civil War, and restored by the Victorians, it was nearly destroyed by a stray Luftwaffe bomb in 1940 during Second World War.

Today it is the centre of a thriving congregation, ‘Serving the community’. Open everyday of the year the Church welcomes many thousands of visitors each year,  also as a Diocesan ‘Gateway Church’ it helps visitors to enjoy the towns and the surrounding glorious Norfolk coast.

As a historic chartered market town, Fakenham comes alive on Thursdays and on Farmers’ Markets when many market traders descended upon the town and the Church becomes a hive of activity.

However at the heart of the Church is the worship of Almighty God and anyone visiting the Church will soon realise that it has been loved and cherished by many generations in the past and today is reaching out to a new generation with a full programme of services and activities throughout the year. Let us know what you think of our new website by completing a comments form on our new blog.

Do you know any holy places, e.g. St Julian’s Chapel in Norwich? Have you ever felt the presence of the Holy Spirit in a holy place? Such a place is the Saxon round towered church at the end of my road, 2 miles from my house. Why do I say it’s a holy place? Well, go there and see for yourself. Numerous Christians have felt it ...

Sometimes we are over shadowed by the glistening thought of new products, presents, desirable toys that we have wanted for a short period of time. While we exchange gifts and unravel what's inside these well wrapped gifts, all of the once important thoughts that rush through our minds good and bad are suppressed by the ideal thought .....
