Crisis in Nature and the Climate – Film @ Lympstone Church at 19.30 on Tuesday 12 May 2026
The climate and nature crisis affects all aspects of British life. In November 2025, ten of the UK’s leading experts briefed an invited audience of more than 1,200 politicians and leaders from business, culture, faith, sport and the media in Westminster, chaired by Professor Mike Berners Lee and introduced by Chris Packham (see https://www.nebriefing.org/). Its purpose was to demonstrate what a clear, evidence-led national emergency briefing could look like and why it is needed. Following a positive response from those at the briefing, the organisers have decided to edit the presentations into a 45-minute film to take the message into communities across the UK.
We will screen the film in Lympstone Church at 7:30pm on Tuesday 12th May, followed by a discussion of its implications for our community, country and planet. Refreshments will be served and attendance is free. All welcome
Musical Singing Event for Christian Aid – Wednesday 13 May 2026 at 16.00
Lympstone Singers and Lympstone Primary School will be Making Music for Christian Aid in Lympstone Church at 16.00 on Wednesday 13 May. Entrance is free, but donations by cash or card are welcome to Christian Aid.
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.
