Mothering Sunday Service, St Andrew’s Church

24 Hour Vigil for Peace

The Vigil starts on Sunday 26th at 11am. Following the parish Eucharist there will be a bring-and-share lunch in the Church and we shall be providing hospitality for local Ukrainian guests.  A letter of invitation can be found in English here and in translated into Ukrainian here.

We shall be praying not only for Ukraine, but for peace in all places currently experiencing war or conflict. It will also be an opportunity for people to come and offer prayer for themselves, families and communities, and whatever may be preventing or disturbing their own peace at this time.   Like every church, our churches in the Holyford Mission Community exist to facilitate and encourage prayer: they are spaces where people—no matter who they are, how they feel, or where they come from—can find themselves and God, and experience his light and his peace.

Victoria becomes a Deacon

Many of us already know Victoria Chester, who has been exercising her Reader ministry here in Holyford Mission Community for a number of years. She has now completed her training for ordination and will be ordained Deacon at Exeter Cathedral on Saturday 14th September at 3.00 pm. Please pray for Victoria as she prepares for this new chapter in her ministry.

She will be welcomed among us in her new role on Sunday 15th September at the Breakfast Service in Colyton: breakfast at 10.00 followed by the service at 10.30. So that everyone who wishes has the opportunity to be there, the morning services in the other Holyford churches that day have been cancelled. Other services which will still take place that day will be 8.00 am Holy Communion, Colyton; 6.30 pm Evening Prayer, Colyton.

She will be continuing in her secular job as CEO Bristol Animal Rescue Centre while working among us as our Assistant Curate (self-supporting).
