Lynton, Lynmouth

- By the Archbishop of Barnstaple, Venerable Verena Breed. Details of all services can be found on the Lynton page of achurchnea­ryou.com.

We worshipped the Lord by singing: My song is love unknown, King of kings majesty, Ride on, ride on in majesty!, In Christ alone and Make way, make way for the King of Kings.

The worship singing was led by Christine Tratt and Sandra Shepherd playing keyboards, Mark Shepherd playing guitar and with Pam Newton and John Cleave as vocalists.

The lesson was read by John Cleave. Ruth’s message was in two parts, ‘Thoughts on Passover’ and ‘Thoughts on Jesus, the Messiah.’

The prayers of intercessi­on were by Lesley Coxon. The tech desk was operated by Tim Watson.

Coffee and biscuits followed the service and everyone went home with a Palm Cross. 804425; btinternet.com
