THANK YOU FOR VISITING OUR CHURCHES’ WEBSITE

WELCOME to our group of four churches
on the eastern edge of Dartmoor.

THE SEASON OF LENT

Lent (which also means ‘Spring’) is the period of forty days preceding Easter, and is traditionally regarded as a time of penitence, fasting and self-denial – activities performed NOT for their own sake but as a means of developing a greater awareness of matters of eternal importance as we make our way as pilgrims to a heavenly destination – supremely, indeed, our relationship with God through friendship with Jesus Christ who trod this path before us, but with a much greater awareness than we are ever likely to experience, and with a very much more demanding destiny set before him.

To help us understand more fully the meaning of this special season, the following Lent activity is recommended for those who are free on Tuesday mornings until Easter.

During Lent, you are warmly invited to join in a time of reflection and discussion based on the book (above) by Paula Gooder. We will look at this in five sessions, but each session is stand-alone, so there is no need to attend every week.

We will be meeting every Tuesday morning in Lent,
on 20th & 27th February, and on 5th, 12th & 19th March: 10.30-12.00.

In Moreton, these will take place in Moreton Community Club in Court Street (TQ13 8LG), and in Lustleigh, in Twyneo (TQ13 8TB).  Refreshments provided at both locations.

ALL OUR CHURCHES ARE OPEN for private prayer and reflection
between 10 am and 4 pm.  Please note the times of Sunday services
when planning your visit – and do join us for one!

To locate our churches, the postcodes for each one
may be found by clicking on SUNDAY SERVICES.

================== SAFEGUARDING==================
All our four churches are fully committed to the
safeguarding of children, vulnerable adults
and all other church members.
Please see the menu item at the top of the page
and click on the relevant church in the
drop-down menu if you need to speak
to anyone on any aspect of safeguarding.
==================================================

Let our churches inspire you!

Our four parish churches, and one chapel, are all cultural icons of the communities they serve and are of considerable heritage importance.

Much more than that, however, they are also living centres of Christian worship, offering peace and solace to all who enter them, and the Good News of Jesus Christ – as relevant as ever to the needs of a turbulent world.

So please come and explore our website and find out more.
