Holy Communion

Monthly. Every Third Sunday at for 1 hour
Lamerton Parish Church of St Peter
Lamerton Tavistock, PL19 8RL, United Kingdom

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.
