Climate Change Walk
Thursday 1st July 2021
We were fortunate on Tuesday afternoon (29/6) to welcome a small party of walkers to St Thomas Church as representatives of the Young Christian Climate Network who are walking from the G7 meeting in Cornwall to the COP26 climate negotiations in Glasgow in the autumn. Ian joined them for the Dunsford-Exeter stage. Our prayers go with them.
St Peter and St Paul
Monday 28th June 2021
We've transferred the feast day of Peter and Paul from 29 June to Sunday 27 June as they are important saints - the apostles to the Jews and Gentiles respectively. This is also the time of year in some dioceses for ordinations, so we pray for those being ordained and those celebrating anniversaries this year. Read Fr David's Zoom talk here.
