Cream Teas
As part of the Devon Historic Churches Trust’s Ride and Stride event we shall be raising funds by selling cream teas and cakes in the Parish Hall this Saturday, 9th September. Refreshments will be available from 2-4.30pm. This charity recently enabled us to replace the church boiler which suffered a sudden and dramatic “death” so we are pleased to be able to help other churches in similar plights. Our Reader, Lionel Holmes, is also raising money by cycling around churches in Devon and you can sponsor him in his endeavours by popping in to the hall on Saturday and signing up. 50% of any money we raise goes towards our…

Food Bank
The food bank is still in situ in the church and any donations would be very welcome. I know there has been some query as to how often it is emptied but that has now been rectified and a new collection rota is in place. Please continue to donate – it is very much appreciated.

Airband – high-speed internet
Airband has now gone live on the church tower. Interested households can place their orders on Airband’s website and its Customer Services team will establish if there is line of sight, and book the installations. The website is www.airband.co. It is now over to Airband. The church has been instrumental in having the antennae installed on the tower, but the responsibility for the technical and commercial operation is now up to the company (not the church).

Those who access these services may not have or cannot afford cooking facilities so although they may not seem to be the healthiest foods to be requested there are reasons why such items are needed.…
