For this year's Plough Sunday service, we are very pleased to welcome the Archdeacon of Barnstaple, The Rev'd Canon Verena Breed to officiate. Members of Blackmoor Gate Young Farmers bring a plough into the church to be blessed. Plough Sunday marks the start of the farming year in the church calendar. This is a group benefice service to which everyone is invited. There are no other Lyn Group services that day. Everyone is very welcome.

St Brendan

Dear Church Visitor,

The church of St Brendan stands rather remotely at the top of a steep hill and some distance from the village of Brendon. There are currently no regular services but there are services to celebrate major festivals in the church year such as Harvest Festival and a carol service. Parishioners are welcome to join the congregation at other churches in the Lyn Mission. There are often invitations to join the congregation at The Blessed Virgin Mary at Oare which for many is more convenient in travelling distance.

The image on the home page is the intricately carved reredos behind the altar, the work of John William Floyd 1871 - 1935, a craftsman carpenter who made it his life's work to produce wood carvings for the church.

You can find the latest Mission Community Newsletter in the News and Notices menu under Notice Sheets.
