I honestly can’t believe it’s already been a week since my licensing—I’m still pinching myself! God has been so good, and I’m looking forward to walking closely with Him as this next chapter of ministry begins.

Bible Study at St Paul’s 📖

A few moments from Monday’s Bible Study at St Paul’s - it’s a lovely opportunity to pause, explore the Bible together, ask questions and share in conversation 💬

Our weekly Bible Study meets every Monday at 12 noon at St Paul’s, and everyone is welcome to join us - whether you’re familiar with the Bible or simply curious to explore it together over a cuppa! ☕

Can’t make the daytime session? We also have an evening Bible Study on Tuesdays, 7:30–9pm, making it easier to fit around work and other commitments 🌙

Still in a daze and feeling incredibly blessed and humbled. Today marked my first service as a licensed Lay Minister, as well as administering the chalice for the very first time.

It is such an honor to serve, and I am so deeply grateful to God for calling me into this ministry.

A huge thank you to all my family and friends for your constant love, prayers, and support on this journey, it means more than I can say! Here’s to the path ahead.

"My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior." — Mary (Luke 1:46-47)

Today marks an unforgettable milestone in my ministry journey.✝️

Being officially licensed as a Lay Minister in the Church of England, surrounded by the love, prayers, and support of my family, friends, and church community—has filled my heart with deep gratitude.

This service wasn't just a culmination of study and discernment; it’s the beginning of a new chapter of purposeful service. I am humbled by the trust placed in me and eager to serve our congregation, support our local community, and continue growing in this calling. @cofedevon

Thank you to everyone who has walked alongside me, mentored me, and offered prayers along the way. God’s faithfulness has been the anchor of this journey, and I look forward with expectation to all that lies ahead.

"Equipping the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ." — Ephesians 4:12

This morning at Grow Together Tots we continued our half term theme, The Days of Creation, thinking about the second day when God gave us the gift of water💧🌍

The children and families at St Paul’s had lots of fun exploring water together, with splashing, crafts, reading, music and plenty of play 💖

It was lovely to welcome everyone - do get in touch or pop along if you’d like to get involved or find out more!

This is your sign to go on a pilgrimage. 🏝️

Pilgrimages can take many forms, and this one involved a long walk, a boat, a funicular, and a bus.

This is the Lee Abbey to Lundy Way in North Devon.

Find out more about pilgrimage at the link in our bio, @thechurchofengland.
