🎶 Join us on June 11 at 1:15pm for a delightful afternoon of music featuring Rob Rogers (oboe), Debbie (flute), and pianist Daniel Law.

Before the concert, enjoy a light lunch from Lilley’s Bakery in the Church Hall between 12:00pm and 12:45pm – the perfect way to begin a relaxing afternoon of music.

This special programme showcases a collection of works by French composers, including several gems that Rob and Debbie have discovered only recently and are excited to share with you. Alongside these lesser-known treasures, you'll hear beloved favourites, creating a programme that blends the familiar with the unexpected.

We are delighted to welcome Daniel Law back to the piano. His artistry brings these beautiful works to life, and together we have enjoyed exploring and preparing this programme. We hope these musical discoveries will delight you as much as they have delighted us.

Come and enjoy an afternoon of elegant melodies, captivating harmonies, and musical discoveries from some of France's finest composers.

🎵 We look forward to welcoming you!

What a week!

We celebrated a baptism in the sea on Sunday and a Confirmation Service for six of our members last night. Ranging in age from 12 to 88, they are a wonderful reminder that it is never too early—or too late—to follow Jesus.

We give thanks for each person taking this important step in their faith journey and pray for God's continued blessing upon them.

Glory be to Jesus!

Please join us tonight at 7:30pm in The Parish Church for a special Confirmation Service, conducted by Bishop Roger Morris of Colchester.

We are delighted to celebrate as six of our members take this important step in their faith journey and publicly affirm their commitment to Christ.

This is a wonderful occasion for our church family, and we would love to see as many people as possible there to support and encourage our candidates.

Please keep them in your prayers and come along to share in this joyful service. ✝️💜

On Sunday 10th May 2026 we couldn’t miss the opportunity of taking a photo of these three captured together in church. Past Rectors, Revds Andrew Rose and Don Smith with our current Rector Revd Funmilayo Vaughan. The board in the background seemed a suitable place to take the picture. Revd Funmilayo is the 51st recorded Rector of Frinton.
