Week of 14 June 2026
Welcome to the week's Worship Weekly
Welcome to the Worship Weekly for the week starting Sunday 14 June 2026.
Sunday 7 June saw the start of the Summer Sermon Series in the Exmouth Coastal Churches Mission Community. This means that for Clergy-Led and Journey Services we will not be following the Lectionary readings during June, July and August. Instead we will explore what it truly means to be the people of Jesus, a community shaped by His life, His Spirit and His mission. Please see the attached flyer to find out more. For the Lay-Led 08.00 Sunday Morning Prayer Services, the Lectionary sheets and readings will still be used.
Upcoming Sunday Services
On Sunday 14 June at 08.00 Gillian Hoskins will lead the Morning Prayer Service.
At 09.30 Rev’d Canon John Philpott will lead the Holy Communion Service at Lympstone.
On Sunday 21 June at 08.00 Rev’d Canon John Philpott will lead the Holy Communion Service.
At 09.30 Abigail Webber will lead and Marcus Paul will preach at the Journey Service, on the subject of A Healing Community.

Visiting Bell-Ringers from 12.30 on Saturday 27 June
The Guild of Devonshire Ringers are holding their AGM. in the Aylesbeare Deanery on Sat. 27th. June. In connection with this they are hoping to have Bells Ringing in all the local towers from 12:30pm. onwards. In Lympstone, they will be ringing either a Peal (3 hours) or a ¼ Peal (45Minutes) at Lympstone, depending on how they feel, I would imagine!
As far as anyone knows a full Peal has never been rung at Lympstone, so history may be made!
Celebratory Joint Mission Community Service @ Lympstone – Sunday 28 June, 09.30
This Joint Mission Community Service at Lympstone, led by Heidi Budden and Steve Jones will also celebrate Heidi’s Ordination at Exeter Cathedral, which will have taken place the day before. Do come along and celebrate with Heidi!
Requests for Prayers to be said – A message from Chris Kleinstuber
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.
