Rogation Sunday is the tradition of asking for God's blessing on agriculture and industry and also of
'beating the bounds' which also reinforced the Parish boundaries. It falls on 5th Sunday after Easter.

You are invited to meet at St John the Evangelist, Countisbury at 2pm on Sunday 14th May to either sit
and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the Church and grounds or to walk up Countisbury Hill, as a group,
asking for blessings for flourishment of agriculture and people and to beat the bounds, before returning to
St John the Evangelist for a Service followed by refreshments.
Please park at BARNA BARROW car park and follow the footpath down to the Church (about a
10minute stroll).
St John the Evangelist, Countisbury and Countisbury Hill is the best placed location within the Lyn Valley
Mission Community to effectively overlook all of the other parishes (Brendon, Lynmouth, Lynton,
Barbrook, Parracombe, Martinhoe and Trentishoe).
Donations of cakes, biscuits etc. or volunteers to direct people, assist with the provisions of
refreshments, to welcome people etc would be gratefully appreciated; please could you let Sam White
([email protected]) know.
