TEAM SERVICE AT UPLOWMAN
TEAM SERVICE AT UPLOWMAN
Steph and Pam with Ross Adcock and sister, Liz, in the new social area at Uplowman.
St Peter was well and truly celebrated at the well-attended Team Service at Uplowman on Sunday. The congregation was treated to learning a new song, written by Rachel, seeing the reading from Acts brought to life by the OTB Team and the Team Choir singing during the Communion.
At the end of service the new social area was blessed by Rachel. This area has been donated by the Adcock family in memory of their mother, Mary, who was a devoted member of the congregation.
Steph then gave a presentation about the joys and challenges facing Uplowman church and how they valued being part of SPTMC. The morning ended in true Uplowman generous style with a BBQ for anyone who wanted to stay. A truly happy occasion!

FAREWELL TO JANE TAYLOR
FAREWELL TO JANE TAYLOR
Mill House Retreats has now been sold and Jane Taylor is moving to Petersfield. We were originally going to present her with a Garden Token at the Team Service after Christmas, but things didn't work out, so finally, we have been able to give it to her. Christopher Rowley presented it to her on behalf of SPTMC to thank her for all her help to the Team over 21 years. Hopefully she can put the token to good use in her new garden.
Jane, with the help of Lynne Chitty (who is also moving to Petersfield), has done a wonderful job of founding Mill House as a retreat centre. The new owners are Duncan and Karen Layzell, who will endeavour to continue and develop the retreat work at Mill House. Please remember them in your prayers.

Growing in Prayer Prayer is a life-giving activity that opens up deep places within us to God’s transforming grace. Growing in prayer is essential if we are to become the people and the Church God calls us to be.Making new disciplesAs the Christian story is less and less known, we must find new ways of telling the story, of explaining the faith and giving a reason for the hope that is in us. With Jesus Christ as our companion and guide we can travel through life differently.Serving the people of Devon with joyAs followers of Jesus Christ, we want to make a difference in the world and make God’s love and justice known. In our church life we seek to be local, participatory and outward looking.Diocese of Exeter
