Dru and her team have been very busy decorating our beautiful church for Easter. I am sure you will agree that the flower arrangements are just stunning. Thank you all for creating such a beautiful and welcoming church for all of our Easter visitors.

Please take a look at the photos below.

On Saturday 13th Revd Johanna Mabey led another fun Messy Church event for Easter. We were overjoyed that 39 children (inc two gorgeous babies) and 34 adults attended. It was a joyful event with the story of Easter told by the Revd Mark Lowther, then the creativity begun. A huge thank you to all that came along and all our wonderful volunteers that made it happen. Please take a look at the photos below to see the fun had by all.

Next Messy Church will be for Harvest Festival on Saturday 21st September 10am – 12 noon in the Church Hall. All Welcome.

Every 6 years we have to discard the old electoral roll and start again! 2019 is a sixth year so if you wish to go on the electoral roll (and qualify) you must fill in one of the forms in the west porch, or the back of the church, and then place it in the pigeon hole marked ‘Administrator’.  Or just print off the form below and place in the Administrator’s pigeon hole. You can be on two electoral rolls if you meet the required criteria.

We are delighted to see the life-size knitted nativity return back to Aldeburgh Parish Church.  The Knit and Natter Group from the Fairfield Centre have been busy again this year and produced additions to the scene with two shepherds, two Suffolk sheep and a lamb.  Thank you so much all for all your wonderful efforts and letting us display them again.

Please do come along to visit our Knitted friends.  They will be with us throughout the Christmas period to raise money for our Church funds.

On Saturday the 15th December the Christmas fun really began.  We had a huge turn out of children, parents and grandparents.  

We all got creative in making Christmas decorations, bags and yummy biscuits.

We also enjoyed listening to the Open Book Team who presented the Christmas story with great joy and enthusiasm.  Thank you!!!

THANK YOU so much to all of our wonderful volunteers that make this popular event possible every year.

Please take a look at the pictures below from the day.

On Tuesday the 11th December the Rainbow Tots got together at the Aldeburgh Community Centre to celebrate Christmas. 

We all listened to the Christmas story with our wonderful Knitivity friends.  Everyone sang Happy Birthday to Jesus, and Anja had made a yummy cake too.

Please take a look at the photos below.

Our Church was thoughtfully decorated for this year’s 100th anniversary Remembrance Sunday.

We are so fortunate to have a building that looks so beautiful on very special occasions such as this.

A huge thank you to all that contributed in making the church look so wonderful for such an important service. We Will Remember Them.

Please do come and visit to see the displays

Here are some photos.

On the 7th October we celebrated Harvest.  The service was taken by The Revd Johanna Mabey. We had a great attendance with families and friends who joined us.

Please take a look at the photos below of our beautiful church decorated for Harvest.  Don’t we have a talented bunch!!!!

 

We regularly host concerts in our beautiful church.

Everyone welcome to enjoy all types of music, in a relaxed friendly atmosphere.

Please do check our events page to see what we have coming up.

On Monday 20th August, Aldeburgh Parish Church took part in the carnival procession.

Revd Johanna Mabey, and her truly amazing team spent weeks and weeks of thinking and creating for our float contribution to the Carnival.  This year the theme was “Fly me to the moon”, and so we went with a heavenly, celestial, angelic theme.   Our aim was to show folk that we’re a welcoming, friendly and joyful bunch, and that ultimately ‘church’ isn’t about bricks and mortar, but everything about people and relationships, and most importantly that God lives among us all in Aldeburgh!  We were  ‘over the moon‘ to win first prize in the ‘tableaux’ category and the Louisa Moore Cup which is awarded to the best Aldeburgh entry!

Well done & congratulations to The Revd Johanna Mabey, and all of her winning team for all their hard work and love shown in making this Carnival a one that we won’t forget.
