Orsett and Grays Deanery magazine from September 1917

This has came to Ron Porter’s attention.

It’s part of Orsett and Grays Deanery magazine from September 1917.  It’s an interesting read and in The Great War, life was pretty much normal. From a local benefice perspective there is a report of the internment of Rev W G Littlebales who had been vicar of Bulphan (Bulvan) from 1870 to 1903 and some other news from Bulphan.

Mothering Sunday (22nd March) – Day of Prayer and Action

As we embark on this journey we will join together in a national Day of Prayer and Action, this Sunday 22 March, Mothering Sunday.

We will remember those who are sick or anxious and those working in our Health Service. As one action we are calling on everyone to place a lighted candle in their window at 7pm as a sign of solidarity and hope in the light of Christ that can never be extinguished.
