An ecumenical team of lay people will be leading a service of compline each Thursday in August at 8pm. This short, reflective service, is a perfect way to end the day, allowing us to place the day that has been and ourselves into God’s hands. These simple services will take place at The Minster on 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th of August and will last for about 15-20 minutes. All are welcome. Why not invite a friend to join you?

Our churches

Safeguarding

The churches within the Benefice of Ilminster Whitelackington are committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Bath & Wells’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
