Welcome to the Grimshoe Benefice
|
|
The churches of the Benefice of Grimshoe exist to support each other in the building up of their Christian Faith and to support the communities in the villages of Feltwell, Hockwold, Northwold, Southery and Weeting, of which they are part.
Jesus came amongst his friends and followers to show them how to live focusing on loving God, loving those around them and loving our environment and the places where we live and work. Jesus commissioned his followers to continue to serve the communities in which they found themselves and the Church seeks to continue this work today. |
