Occurring
Monthly. Every Third Sunday at for 45 mins

Parish Church of St Swithin
Address
Launcells Bude, EX23 9NQ, United Kingdom

We have a Taize Service of meditation and chants on the 3rd Sunday of every month at 6.00pm.
It is a simple, meditative form of worship, calling us to dwell deeply on Christ's presence around and within us. Mantra songs (like "Jesus, Remember Me"), prayerful silence, and short readings guide the focus of the prayer in a candle-lit environment.
THIS IS FOR THE WHOLE BENEFICE.

Safeguarding

We at the North Kernow Benefice of Churches are committed to safeguarding all who worship in any of our churches and all who visit the churches. We recognise that everyone has different levels of vulnerability and that each of us may be regarded as vulnerable at some time in our lives, but there are particular groups of people who need to be cared for. These include children and at-risk adults.

Who to contact with any safeguarding concerns about the safety and well-being of children, young peope and adults:
Priest in charge: Rev Teresa Folland 01288 352599
or the Parish Safeguarding Officer (contact details for the Parish Safeguarding Officer can be found on each church's homepage on this website).

For advice and help from the Safeguarding team at the Diocese of Truro about a safeguarding concern , please email
