Experience Prayer Weeks


EXPERIENCE Spring, refreshed and revived – isn’t that something that most of us would welcome. St Mary’s Church, Woodbridge has recently tried to do just that, inviting people to explore


new ways into prayer with their Experience Spring Prayer Weeks. The church was filled with a variety of prayer stations, with topics such as Forgiveness, Healing, Belonging, Togetherness,


Hopes and


Dreams, and Giving Thanks – something for everyone. Although the event was set up with the children of St Mary’s School in mind, there were multi-sensory prayers that all ages could relate to: the scent of Oil


of Frankincense, reminding us of the power of healing, and the


sight of bubbles


floating high into the air, representing our worries and concerns being lifted from us and carried away. Just two examples of a wide range on offer.


Pupils from St Mary’s School and the


Abbey


School visited the church and explored the prayer stations in small groups. As a final act of worship, they coloured in outline pictures of flowers, leaves and insects that were then placed in praise on a giant poster of the Lord’s Prayer. The completed collage was presented to St Mary’s School as a reminder of this very special time.

The feedback has been overwhelmingly


positive


and there is no doubt that this has been a good experience for both the teams of people who worked together to prepare the prayer spaces and the pupils, visitors and members of the congregation who made time to take part. As one visitor wrote in the book, ‘probably the most active church I have seen for a long time!’

Framlingham parkrun – Up and Running


FOLLOWNG a successful launch on June 8th, Thomas Mills parkrun is now firmly established on the Framlingham weekend scene. Routinely attracting over 100 participants each week, parkrun starts every Saturday at 9am, and provides a free weekly timed 5K run over a two lap course around the Thomas Mills playing fields and adjacent farmland.


“It has been an amazing and heartwarming start,” says parkrun organiser Robert Mawson, “and especially when we see new faces coming each week to give it a try – some local, many from further afield.” Nor do participants need to be runners, he adds “parkrun is for everyone, a true community activity for all ages and abilities, with many coming just to walk the course, or jog, or push buggies,


or simply spectate,


many come to volunteer as marshals and helpers too.” Walk, jog, run, volunteer, to

The Club held a hugely successful Pig Race Night at Hacheston Village

at the end of May with all funds raised in aid of the East Anglia’s Children’s Hospice. The evening raised just over £800 and the Club decided to round this up to £1,000 and a presentation was made to EACH at our July meeting. The Woodbridge Regatta is our main summer fund raiser and we are pleased to report that a total of just over £1,100 was made at this year’s event which will be used for the benefit of local charities and good causes. We would like to thank all the members of the public who supported us


by sponsoring ducks for our Duck Dive event, both from our sales in the Woodbridge Thoroughfare over the preceding two weeks and on the day. The lucky Duck Dive winning numbers were; first prize 928, second prize 1389, third prize


430. All


prizes have been claimed and special thanks to the winners of the second prize who kindly decided to donate their winnings to charities.
