    Following the sad news of the death of Prince Philip, we join people around the world praying for Her Majesty the Queen and all members of the Royal Family as they mourn. May God bring them comfort. 

    God of our lives, we give thanks for the life of Prince Philip,
    for his love of our country, and for his devotion to duty.
    We entrust him now to your love and mercy,
    through our Redeemer Jesus Christ. Amen.

    Our churches are open during the day and there will be the opportunity to light a candle and spend a little while giving thanks for the life of Prince Philip and praying for the Queen and the Royal Family should you wish to.

    Due to Covid restrictions, messages of condolence should be left online - you can follow this link to the Church of England online book of condolence: Remembering His Royal Highness Prince Philip | The Church of England
     

    Our streamed service this Sunday will be Holy Communion from St Mary's Stalham at 10.30am. The service sheet can be found here and you can access the service via our Facebook page here, or later on YouTube here.
