Together Lunches are usually held on the first Sunday of each month in Chiddingly Village Hall (during the winter) and the next one is scheduled, God willing, to be on 5th January for 12.30pm. (there is NOT one this time in December) Everyone is welcome and you don't need to book ... but an email (pf@zereg.com) of intent to come would be helpful, including an indication of any particular food intolerance. Please also say if you would like your email address to be included on a reminder mailing list for future lunches. Posted: 28.11.2024 |

Help in the churchyard: I am very grateful to all who have helped in any way. What appears to have evolved is the freedom for anyone to come whenever they can. Also perhaps 2-3 people getting together to keep an eye on an agreed smallish area. We can take care of the mowing, It’s the keeping tidy and making it look a bit cared for. It helps us and we will support you. I must admit in 50 yrs + of farming I cannot remember a growing season like this summer. It has been a challenge but gradually we are getting a measure of control. Hopefully as it looks more cared for it will encourage others to join in. I know what we are trying to do is appreciated and despite a testing summer, there is great beauty and peace in this special place in our parish. If you can and would like to be involved in any way no matter how small, then please do give me a ring on 07815 459075. Many Thanks. Peter. Posted: 17.11.2024 |

Help in the churchyard: We are very grateful to everyone who works diligently in the churchyard. It is greatly appreciated by us and the local community but we really could do with more help as our current workforce isn’t getting any younger or healthier. Even if it’s for the odd hour it all makes a difference. Posted: 31.12.2023 |

A plug for Homegroups. Currently about a third of the church attend an online home group. There are two at present: (Weekly) Tuesday mornings 10.30 - 11.30 am; (Fortnightly) Thursday evenings 7.30 pm. Over the past couple of years the groups have been a lifeline to many, particularly those who live alone. Apart from a short Bible study and discussion they do provide an opportunity to socialise and pray for one another when the need arises. The groups are also opening up to those who attend our Sunday services online. Covid has taken its toll and the general Sunday in-person attendance has suffered as a result. However, homegroups provide a constant source of fellowship and support which spiritually buoy’s us up and helps with our general wellbeing and mental health. Details have been sent out to the church family via email but do get in touch if you would like to join one or just give it a go. Office email: admin@framfieldchurch.org.uk. Posted: 22.11.2021 |

Web site for St Thomas a Becket Our church website has now been running for over fifteen years. This third redesign, mainly to adapt to the ever increasing number of users on phones and tablets and their smaller screens, went live on 16th August 2020. The site aims to be a useful resource to church members, and also to reach out to potential new members. We hope you will take a look and find it useful. We try very hard to keep it up to date and relevant. Any questions, comments or suggestions, email us here Posted: 16.08.2020 |
