Church Groups

	Welcome to our Church Community! Below you will find some of the groups that are associated with our church. For more information on how you can get involved with these groups, please contact The Rector. Choir   The Woottons has a very active, lively and worshipful choir group, with a good mix of male and female choristers, ranging from 7 years old in Junior Choir to  more 'senior' members of the community.  Junior Choir meets at Thursdays 6.30pm during term time at St Mary's, and Senior Choir on Thursdays 7pm at St Mary's during Term time. Recent anthems range from classical choral repertoire such as Elgar's Ave Verum Corpus to more modern pieces, such as 'And He shall protect thee' by Nardone, and Psalm 23, 'The Lord's my Shepherd', arranged by Howard Goodall - up and coming is 'Panis Angelicus' by Cesar Franck.  Choir is involved in mainstream Sunday Worship on the 2nd and 4th Sundays, as well as participating in the annual Church Carol Services and the Royal Church Schools of Music Choir Festival at Norwich Cathedral.  Despite our seemingly serious repertoire, emphasis in the Choir is very much to worship and praise God with a joyful and glad heart, and all enthusiastic budding choristers of all ages are welcome.  Contact the Rectory for further details.  Junior Church   Junior Church welcomes children from 3 ½ -ish years old to about 10 years old, and meets Sundays at 10am at All Saints Church, North Wootton, with the first Sunday of the month being in the service itself. There are also activities for children at St Mary's Cafe on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month at 10am in South Wootton Village Hall, across the road from the church.    Mothers Union  The Mother's Union branch in the Woottons is lively and active, and are always keen for new members to join us for a wide range of activities and days out, as well as helping in the Parish, and actively promote the enjoyment and fellowship that is to be had from modern Christian Motherhood.  Please contact the Rectory Office for details or use the 'Contact Us' page on this website for further details.....  Scouting and Guiding These are very active in the Woottons. The local Scout Group supports the church in practical ways such as occasional repairs and providing a marquee and helpers for special events. The Scout and Guide HQ is conveniently close to All Saints’ Church, enabling Guides and Brownies to attend family services on the second Sunday in the month in term time. Flowers  We have a separate team of flower arrangers for each Church, who work closely with the Parish to brighten up the Churches with displays of God's creation to decorate His Churches.    Parochial Church Council  The Church in the Woottons has a joint PCC meeting, held bi-monthly at St Mary's Church.  We number about 24, and aim to discern and facilitate the smooth running of all aspects of Parish Life through input from all sectors of the Parish - far from being 'old and crusty', our age range for membership currently is from 18-70+!.  This ensures that each meeting is lively and faithfully conducted!  Church Amblers  Usually held on the first Sunday afternoon of each month, a group of lively and enthusiastic folk meet at a local beauty spot to go for a gentle walk amongst the Norfolk countryside, usually ending up at a local 'watering hole'.  For further details of ambles, see the church notice sheets or the Parish Magazine.
