Rev'd Miles announced the first hymn during which he and Bishop Mike entered and proceeded up the aisle. Bishop Mike welcomed the congregation and commented on how nice to have untypical Exmoor weather. He presented Brendon church with an oak tree sapling as a symbol of growth.

In his sermon he used the analogy of a disorganised person leaving from an airport departure to illustrate his theme, where are we going, how do we prepare and what is our final destination. The organ was played by Carolyn Gold for the hymns Be now my vision oh Lord of my heart, Guide me oh great redeemer, All my hope on God is founded, Great is thy faithfulness. Prayers of Intercession were read by members of the PCC. 

Bishop Mike was assisted by Rev Miles in administering the Communion. Bishop Mike then read notices of forthcoming services and read the banns for a couple getting married in Lynmouth in September. After The Dismissal, the congregation were able to gather for a chat and refreshments.
