The Devon Historic Churches Day (incorporating "Ride and Stride") (opens in new window) will be held on Saturday 14 September this year.

Bumps, Babies and Toddlers Group
St Michael’s Church Teignmouth (the Church by the sea) are starting a brand new group for those expecting a baby, or looking after a baby, or with pre-school child or children.

Supported by:
As violence in the Holy Land escalates with Israel's military operations, and settler violence, against Palestinians in Gaza, the Occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, and Hamas' and Hezbollah's retaliatory attacks on Israel, we pray:
God of peace and justice,
we pray for the people of Israel, Palestine and Lebanon today.
We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons.
We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow, that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them.
We pray for those with power over war or peace, for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions.
For various reasons, from August, the Open the Book Team will no longer be affiliated to Open the Book organised by The Bible Society, and will therefore now be known as Open the Bible. We will continue to do go into schools to take assemblies but being independent of Open The Book will allow us to be more creative with our assembly format.
We welcome Dr Ruth Sewell who has now returned to ministry in the Mission Community.
