Seafarers and fishers play a vital role in all of our lives, but they often work in difficult, hazardous conditions. Sea Sunday is Sunday July 14 and is when the Church prays for all those who live and work at sea.

Reverend Miles will be leading a service starting at 3pm at the Rhenish Tower, Lynmouth Harbour. Lynmouth Shanty Crew will also be singing.

All are welcome.

St Mary the Virgin

Welcome to St Mary the Virgin Lynton. One of the churches of the Lyn Valley Mission Community, eight rural churches in the very north of Devon where Exmoor meets the sea. Our usual, main Sunday service is Holy Communion at 11.00am, where everyone is welcome. The service is followed by a gathering for coffee where we look forward to meeting you. 

If you are on holiday and visiting the area, you will be very welcome to join any of our services while you are staying here.

You can read the latest Lyn Mission monthly newsletter in the News and Notices tab under Notice sheets.
