As it's no longer possible to staff Sunday services in every church across the Quantock Villages Benefice, each church has been reduced to 3 services per month. Rev’d Eleanor encouraged PCCs to think of these Sundays as ‘Opportunity’ Sundays rather than ‘fallow’ ones and challenged us to seek ways of growing our church. Goathurst PCC has sought to embrace this and, during 2025 stepped out in faith to take church out into the community. On two occasions it offered ‘Bag a Bacon Butty with a Squirt of Faith’ events in the village hall which have been well attended beyond our usual congregation. Other Opportunity Sundays included a Rogationtide walk; a led walk through Mill Wood with refreshments at the Temple of Harmony (by kind permission of Halswell Park); a Pets’ Service with a talk by Secret World; and an afternoon cream tea in the church grounds. We are already planning for continued development in 2026!Tim Hunt of Kids Alive International (one of Goathurst’s designated charities) giving a talk at Bacon Butty 2 in November
