Week of 12 July 2026

Welcome to the week's Worship Weekly

Welcome to the Worship Weekly for the week starting Sunday 12 July 2026, Sea Sunday.

I do hope that this hot weather finds you well and in good heart. As the mercury stays high, keep an eye out for your friends, neighbours and village members who might not be coping so well in the extreme heat.

This Saturday sees the welcome return of the Produce Stall ‘Under The Bridge’ at 09.30. Thank you Demelza for resurrecting this wonderful village institution. If you can help run the stall, see the sign-up sheet at the back of the Church. If you can spare any donations, bring them along from 09.00 on Saturday morning to the table Under The Bridge!

This Sunday 12 July is Sea Sunday, a moment each year when churches around the world come together to pray for seafarers and give thanks for their vital work. Rev Sid Humpries will be leading the Lympstone Sea Sunday Service at 11.15 on the slipway by the Boat Shelter and there will be a collection for the RNLI. Lympstone Academy Brass will be providing the musical accompaniment ad the Military Wives Choir will also be singing. We thank the Lympstone Harbour Board in their support for this service, which takes place during the Lympstone Sailing Club Regatta weekend.

…and Good Luck to Harry, Thomas and the team on Saturday night!

Requests for Prayers

If you would like prayers to be said during a Sunday service and/or at the Thursday Prayer Group for a friend or relative needing prayer, please send an email to PrayersLymCh@excc.church. Alternatively, those who don’t want to email can post a message in the Prayer Requests Box at the Church entrance using the supply of cards attached to the box.  In both instances, please include your name so that we can verify the request. 

If you would prefer prayers to be said privately, rather than in the services, please request the prayers to be said at the Thursday Prayer Group ONLY.   Prayers said in this meeting are confidential and will be said every Thursday while the group feels it is still necessary.  If you have any questions or feel you would like to join the group, please speak to Chris Kleinstuber, who leads the Prayer Group each Thursday at 4 p.m. in the Lady Chapel.
