Every Wednesday at 10am we gather in the Priest Room for a quiet Midweek Communion followed by refreshments and conversation. Rev Gill and Canon Tim take turns to lead, and every now and when they are not available our local lay minister (Reader) Richard leads a short service of Morning Prayer. It is a very homely and comforting space to be in for these short and welcoming times of worship.

Each month we gather in St Peter's Church, Lamerton, for Holy Communion. We pray for the world and our community, sing hymns, listen to bible readings, and commemorate the Eucharist. The service is followed by refreshments in the Priest Room (the beautiful ancient building at the gate to the churchyard).

Everyone welcome: This is a service for all, so please do not worry about children or babies being noisy. They are very welcome. If you want to come but want an extra pair of hands, do just ask. Our volunteers are all DBS checked and undergo regular safeguarding training (many of them volunteer in local schools).

The Communion: The service of Holy Communion is open to all. If you do not normally receive communion you are very welcome to come up for a prayer of blessing. The priest goes to the seats of anyone who cannot come to the altar. If you require gluten free, it would be helpful if either you could let us know in advance or, more simply, just bring a tiny square of your own GF bread in a little bit of foil, so that it can be consecrated alongside the wafers, whilst kept separate. If you have a severe allergy please do let us know so that the full additional precautions can be taken.

Access: The main churchyard entrance has steps, so if you need assistance accessing St Peter's, please do let us know so we can try the alternative route. It is also okay to turn up and we will always help as far as we can.

The funeral of Gladys Bennett will be held in St Mary's Church, Marystowe on Wednesday 23rd September at 12 noon, followed by interment in the churchyard. Gladys lived in Chillaton, and was well loved. Her late husband, Les, was a bellringer and also spent many hours taking care of the church and churchyard over the years.

A short (27-minute) service for little ones and their grown-ups. Puppets, action songs, stories, all beginning with food and drink. Come and join us for Bubble Church! Book here: https://tickets.myiknowchurch.co.uk/gb/NDU1MS05/t

The books and puzzles are now in Marystowe Schoolroom (the Old Sunday School). You can bring & buy books and puzzles whenever the room is open, but on the last Tuesday of each month the coffee pot is on. Come and enjoy refreshments and a book together.

We are all getting together in St Peter's Church this evening for a Harvest Thanksgiving. Come and join us - familiar hymns, and familiar faces.

We are delighted to be Christening (Baptising) another member of a popular Coryton family today. It will be in a morning service for all ages, led by Rev Gill George. As Ronnie and his Mum & Dad live in Okehampton we have invited Rev Claire Reynolds, Vicar of Okehampton, to conduct the actual baptism. There may be bubbles!

Take a breather at the close of the weekend, and gain strength and soul for the week ahead.
