In the build up to Christmas, it can be difficult as we miss those who are no longer with us. There will again be an Advent Tree in St Mary's Church on which the names of y our loved ones can be placed as a simple act of remembering. It is also a 'Tree of Hope' so prayers for specific situatons can be attached, as can 'thank you's' for your answered prayers. Tags will be in the church by t he tree and the church is open daily.
Look out for news of our next weekend at which will be in the autumn of 2023. Lee Abbey is set in a stunning 280-acre estate by the sea on the edge of the Exmoor National Park where we are served by their international Christian Community. It is fully inclusive and offers:• All meals and drinks (tea, coffee, cake, hot chocolate)• A ministry team providing teaching and worship• Lively youth and children’s ministry• Great accommodation and facilities, including library, gift shop and book sales• Entertainment and sports facilities Price will depend on number booking but anticipated to be from around £130 per person (with discounts for children). The aim of the weekend would be for everyone to return home stronger and more inspired by God – and that our churches will be transformed. Pick up a leaflet which will be available in all four churches and please fill in the form to register an interest. We will need to have an idea of numbers by the end of October 2019.<span style="font-size: 1rem;">For more information please contact Aurea Hart (01225 891453)</span>
We are near lots of good walks and have become a welcome place to stop for a breather and even a picnic in the churchyard. Hand sanitiser is available in the entrance porch and we ask you to be considerate of others by social distancing within the building.
