Group Service for Rogation Sunday

for 1 hour
St John the Evangelist
Countisbury Lynton, EX35 6NE, United Kingdom

Rogation Sunday is the tradition of asking for God's blessing on agriculture and industry and also of 'beating the
bounds' which also reinforced the Parish boundaries. It falls on 5th Sunday after Easter.

You are invited to meet at St John the Evangelist, Countisbury at 10am on Sunday 31st May to either sit and enjoy
the peace and tranquility of the Church and grounds or to walk up Countisbury Hill, as a group, asking for blessings
for flourishment of agriculture and people and to beat the bounds, before returning to St John the Evangelist for a
Service.
St John the Evangelist, Countisbury and Countisbury Hill is the best placed location within the Lyn Valley Mission
Community to effectively overlook all of the other parishes (Brendon, Lynmouth, Lynton, Barbrook, Parracombe,
Martinhoe and Trentishoe).

St John the Evangelist

St John the Evangelist Church at Countisbury is a sister church to St John The Baptist at Lynmouth.  Both churches are part of the Lyn Valley Mission Community Group of Churches.  St John the Evangelist is a beautiful country church and each year we hold a series of evening "Epilogue Services" which are enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.  These take place on a Sunday Evening at 8.30pm during the end of June, July and August.

You can read the latest Mission Community newsletter in the notices menu.
