Lyn Valley Mission Community
The Lyn Valley Mission Community comprises eight churches in an area along the North Devon coast and Exmoor. Lynton and Lynmouth are the two largest centres and are popular tourist destinations. The other villages serve sometimes quite remote communities where farming is the main occupation. All parishes in the Lyn Mission Community are within the Exmoor National Park.
Because of the very rural nature of the area and parishes with very small populations, there will not necessarily be a service in each every week except for St Mary's in Lynton where there will be a communion service at 11am every Sunday. Parishioners are welcome to join the congregation at services in an adjoining or indeed any parish in the Mission Community. When there are five Sundays in a month, there will be a special group service at one church to which all are invited.
