All our churches depend on the generous support and financial giving of those who are regular or occasional attendees. In these current times all of our eight churches are noticing the drop in income due to the current economic situation. However, the expenses involved in maintaining our buildings, contributing towards the wider team ministry and the work of the Diocese of Exeter continue. Locally and nationally, the Church of England receives no direct state funding so we would be grateful if you would consider and continue your financial giving in this period. There are several different ways you can give but the two most efficient ways of making regular donations are by using the Parish Giving Scheme or by Standing Order from your bank account. Please contact your Treasurer for more information or advice on the best way to making one-off donations at this time.

Traditional Christmas Carol Concert, St James' Church Teignmouth,
- Details
They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Do not hurry as you walk with grief
It does not help the journey
Walk slowly, pausing often
Do not hurry as you walk with grief
Be not disturbed by memories, that come unbidden
Swiftly forgive and let unspoken words, unfinished conversations
be resolved in your memories.
Be not disturbed.
Be gentle with the one who walks with grief
It is you, be gentle with yourself
Swiftly forgive, and walk slowly,
Pause often
Be gentle as you walk with grief
