Pentecost Prayer Walk - Saturday 23rd May.
Please come and join us as we pray for God to pour out His Holy Spirit across our town.
You can join in the event in 3 ways- starting at point 1 or point 2 or point 3 below!
1: Start at the church where you usually worship and pray for growth in numbers, love, maturity + mission.
2: Walk to the town centre and join the prep-planned circular route, praying at some/all of the places listed.
3: Be in Golden Lion Square at 12noon to pray and sing together. We aim to finish by 1pm
Proper maps for the town centre red-dotted route with suggestions of places to stop and pray (like the one) below will be available in each church on Sunday and from the Parish Office. Why not get a few friends together from your church, work out the best time to start the walk and join in. (My guess is that an hour for the town centre part of the walk will be about right, but take as long as you need!)
Fifth Sunday of May
As usual when there is a 5th Sunday in the month, we hold combined services for the whole Parish. On 31st May we will have the joint morning
service at Abbotsbury Church at 10:30 a.m.
Also on 31st May, we will be joining forces with Milber Parish for Evensong at 5 p.m. at St Luke’s Church.
Baptism and Confirmation Preparation
On Sunday 5th July during the morning service at St Paul’s, Bishop James – the Bishop of Plymouth - will be baptising and/or confirming candidates from across the parish.
If you have never been baptised or confirmed, and you would like to find out more about taking this step of obedience in baptism and/or being confirmed into the Church of England, please get in touch with Dave as soon as possible. Contact details are: Tel 01626 335862 or email rector@newtonabbotparishes.co.uk
There will be two separate five-week preparation courses: one for children and young people aged 12 to 18 beginning on Monday 20th April, and one for adults beginning on Tuesday 28th April. Both at 7 to 8:30 p.m. at St Paul’s Church.
If you have children younger than 12 who wish to be baptised, please speak to Dave as well. Preparation classes for them will be held separately.
