Following the retirement of Revd Janet Tebby, the northern villages will have a revised service pattern with immediate effect.
At Whissendine, the 8:00am BCP Communion on the second Sunday will no longer take place, but there will be a service every week at 11:00am – Holy Communion (CW) on the first & third Sundays & Family Service on the second Sunday continue as before, while on the fourth Sunday will be Morning Prayer.
At Teigh, 9:00am Matins on the first Sunday and 6:00pm Evensong on the third Sunday continue, and 9:00am Holy Communion (BCP) on the second Sunday now takes place every month rather than alternating with Ashwell, but there will be no service on the fourth Sunday.
At Ashwell, all service are now at 10:30am – Holy Communion (CW) on the second & fourth Sundays and Morning Worship on the first Sunday, but with no service on the third Sunday.
At Market Overton, all services are at 9:00am – Holy Communion (CW) on the first & fourth Sundays as before, Morning Worship on the second Sunday, but no service on the third Sunday.
We regret that with the current staffing levels it is not possible to hold a service in every church every week, but the congregations of those churches without a service are encouraged to join with one of the other churches on the Team.
The full northern villages pattern is as follows:
1st Sunday | 2nd Sunday | 3rd Sunday | 4th Sunday | |
Whissendine | 11:00am Holy Communion | 11:00am Family Service | 11:00am Holy Communion | 11:00am Morning Prayer |
Teigh | 9:00am Matins | 9:00am Holy Communion (BCP) | 6:00pm Evensong | No service |
Ashwell | 10:30am Morning Worship | 10:30am Holy Communion | No service | 10:30am Holy Communion |
Market Overton | 9:00am Holy Communion | 9:00am Morning Worship | No service | 9:00am Holy Communion |
