Sunday 10 April

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

Good afternoon

Please see attached the bulletin for this week; my apologies for the mistake in the readings last week (Thursday was a repeat of Wednesday we realised this morning!).

Our worship on Sunday is:

                   08:30am Holy Communion Lydford on Fosse [this will not be a service that is focussed on Mothering Sunday]

Masks are now entirely at your own discretion, and tea and coffee are to be reinstated after the 10:30am service.

Sunday 20 March

Good afternoon

Please see this week’s notice sheet attached

At Benefice Council on Monday, we decided that the wearing of masks in church should now become voluntary. Whilst we recognise that there are some who will choose to continue to wear them whilst others will choose not to, given the lifting of all restrictions nationally a month ago we felt that the time had come to make this change.

We do still have notices in each church for you to use should you wish to have a space on the pew next to you.

Our worship this week is:

08:30am Holy Communion Barton St David

10:30am Morning Prayer Keinton Mandeville.

Next Sunday is Mothering Sunday. Our 10:30am worship will be an All-Age Interactive Service with Family choir in Barton St David.

08:30am will be Holy Communion in Lydford on Fosse.

Please note we are no longer collecting items for Ukraine.

Sunday 13 March

Good morning.

This week’s mailing is attached, along with an updated list for ‘Help for Ukraine’.

Please note on that list the requests are quite specific and they are only able to handle and use the goods requested.  Our thanks go to Ralph, Jennie and John Long (AKA Dodger) who took the first load to Taunton, and to all of you for the generosity shown. Please also note the Disasters Emergency Committee, who are able to use financial donations for many affected by the war in Ukraine.

We continue to pray for that situation, our churches are open, and in the next week I hope to get some resources into them that you and others might like to use.

This Sunday our worship is a Benefice Service of Holy Communion in Kingweston at 10:30am, with the choir.

The Benefice Council meets on Monday, so I expect that next week I will have details on our response to the lifting of restrictions in the country.

Best wishes
