Our worship this week is:

It will help if those coming have a manual which I’m happy to order, but it would be good to know if you’re planning to be there, then I’ll know how many to order. If you can let me know by Wednesday of next week (20/4) that would be helpful.

With best wishes for a Happy Easter

Good afternoon

This week’s bulletin is attached.

So far this week I’ve been into school for assembly, last week I attended Keinton Youth Adventure Group and, on each occasion, we told the Easter Story in some way or other.

There are many more opportunities for us to dwell on that story, through the worship on:

Sunday 10 April

10:30am Benefice Holy Communion with choir in Barton St David

Monday 11 April

Morning Prayer at 9.00am [Keinton]
Compline at 7.00pm, [Lydford]

Tuesday 12 April

Compline at 7.00pm [Keinton]

Wednesday 13 April

Morning Prayer at 9.00am [Barton]
Compline at 7.00pm [Barton]

Thursday 14 April [Maundy Thursday]

Morning Prayer at 9.00am [Lydford]Holy Communion at 7.00pm in Kingweston.

Good Friday worship:

10:30am Morning Prayer in Keinton Mandeville
2:00pm At the foot of the cross: a devotional service of words and music in Lydford

Sunday 17 April Easter Celebrations

8:30am Holy Communion Barton St David
10:30am Holy Communion Lydford on Fosse

We hope that the Easter Day service in Lydford will be outside but will make a final decision nearer the time, depending upon the weather.

With best wishes for Holy Week and Easter
