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.
.
  Articles and Editorials
Our articles and commentaries are offered to our online visitors as a way to explore different and perhaps fresh perspectives on what happens around us on a regular basis, both in church and within our communities.
.
  Online Photo Gallery
We have a range of photographs available to view on our Online Photo Gallery. If you wish, you may purchase copies - all proceeds will go directly to supporting our work within the local community.

The Widow of Nain: Most priests will have had the sad task of burying a young child in their ministry. The Church will be full, whatever you say frankly has really little meaning – the feeling of pain and loss is everywhere. Grieving will go on for years – the life of the family will never be that same.

Building Faith on Good Foundations: The story of the wise man who built the house on the rock and the foolish man who built on the sand. There’s a wonderful children’s action song that we sing at Stepping Stones occasionally. It’s all about today’s Gospel reading.

The children coming forward are a gift from God. We act a little bit like a shepherd as Jesus told us to do, and we try to look after our sheep and our lambs which God has given to us.

Peace Be With You: The week after Easter is usually a quiet time for the clergy as they have a break after the Easter services. This year has been slightly different as I have had a number of pastoral calls to local hospitals to see parishioners and another one to Cranmer House – all the parishioners were seriously ill and glad to see me.

Easter Sunday: We believe that during the recent earth earthquake to hit the UK, reading 4.8 on the Richter scale, that the Reredos of this Church was cracked – it may not have been a major earthquake which announced the arrival of the angel to roll away the stone of the tomb but it certainly shook this Church...

The Wonders of God's Riches: Today we heard the story of the boy and his packed lunch. We may well ask ourselves the question – what was the point of him offering that when there were so many thousands of people to feed? ... [more]
