Welcome to the Glaven Valley Benefice
sharing God’s love in our communities…
Welcome to the website for the Glaven Valley Benefice in North Norfolk. We are a group of five, beautiful Anglican churches working together in the villages of Blakeney, Cley, Glandford, Letheringsett and Wiveton.
We are a friendly, welcoming and inclusive community. We believe that the love of God in Jesus Christ is for everyone, of all ages and backgrounds, to receive and experience. So we offer a warm welcome to all – both residents and visitors – and we provide services to suit various styles of worship, along with many groups, activities and events. The five parishes work closely and cooperatively together, and there is a great sense of fellowship, friendship and support across the Benefice.

Prayer for the week
Spirit of Wisdom
we offer this day into your keeping;
our plans into your providence; our concerns into your love;
take from us all fuss – the clattering of noise,
the temptation to dominate by the power of words,
the craving to be right:
Lead us through the narrow gate of silence and stillness,
that we may listen and obey,
and so be instruments of your peace
in our broken world.
Amen
