Dearest friends,
Join us for Praise in the Park at Mill Marsh Park as PPT Church and St John’s gather together for a shared Eucharist for the first time in living memory. Once part of the same parish family, the two churches have followed different paths over many years, but now come together again in friendship and common mission to share the love of God with the people of Bovey Tracey, Heathfield, and the surrounding communities.
All are warmly invited to this joyful celebration of worship, unity, and fellowship in the heart of our town. We particularly welcome our dear friends from St. Luke’s as they join St. John’s for this joint Mass. Meet at St. John’s at 10am.
Newton Abbot Parishes Evensong at St Luke’s
The Benefice Evensong for the Fifth Sunday will be hosted at St Luke’s on 31 May at 5pm. Join us for a traditional service of evening prayer and worship with churches from across the Newton Abbot Deanery. All are warmly welcome.
In love,
Fr. Matthew
Lecture – Christian Denominations
Why are there so many different Christian Denominations? What do they all believe? Don’t we all just believe the same thing? Why do we disagree? Come to a lecture at St. John’s on the 21st June at 4pm to listen to a lecture by Fr. Matthew. Join us afterwards for a cream tea (5pm), followed by sung evensong at 6pm.
