Coker Ridge Benefice

The Coker Ridge Benefice is a family of seven parish churches in beautiful South Somerset, just south of Yeovil.

Our Benefice includes: All Saints Closworth; All Saints Sutton Bingham; St Michael & All Angels East Coker; St Roch Pendomer; St Marys Hardington; St Martin of Tours West Coker; and St Marys East Chinnock.

Our collective Benefice Council meets a few times a year, and is led by the Rector Reverend Philip Macaulay. We are blessed with many leaders of different ministries across the Benefice, but key amongst these are our Reader Chris Varley and administrator Barbara Hampshire.

10:30am Holy Communion for Corpus Christi at All Saints Church, Sutton Bingham

for 1 hour
All Saints, Sutton Bingham
Sutton Bingham Yeovil, BA229QP, United Kingdom

Corpus Cristi -'Body of Christ' - is a feast we can use to reflect on the way we worship God through Holy Communion, what is it we are doing when we break bread and pour wine. Why is this so important to Christian gatherings and Theological thought?
This service is an opportunity to worship, engage and reflect on the person of Jesus Christ and the way God seeks to become Immanuel in our midst, and what that might mean to us.
For this service I will use incense.

Benefice Service and Picnic - Church of St Roch, Pendomer

for 2 hours
St Roch, Pendomer
Pendomer Yeovil, BA22 9PH, United Kingdom

10am Benefice Communion followed by space and time to eat (and share) our picnics together in the beautiful surroundings of Pendomer. All Welcome!
If able-bodied people could deliberately park further away from the church, leaving spaces for those who need closer parking that would help so much.
