Have you seen the meme? Will this year be 2022, '2020 too' or '2020 (take) two?' Here's our Youth Minister Jonathan Schnarr with our latest blog post. A few weeks ago the internet was swamped with a new 'meme' (an amusing or interesting picture often with a caption, which is spread widely online), suggesting that the year 2022 will just be a repeat of 2020, because it can be pronounced as ‘2020 too’ or even ‘2020 II' Users on social media platforms have been reacting to this

Here's the first blog post of 2022 from Rev. Andy Humm, Vicar at St George & St Paul, Tiverton From my family to you and yours, may I take this opportunity to wish you a Happy New Year! 2021 didn’t work out quite how we all expected, but as a church we have stepped up and changed and lived out God's calling for us here in our town of Tiverton. I know for some of you, we didn’t go far enough or act quick enough in starting singing, not wearing masks or restarting groups & mini

Here's Rev. Justin Montague with our final blog post of 2022! Christmas and New Year blessings to you! I write this final message of 2021, aware that when it is received, our individual and national circumstances and the way in which we celebrate Christmas and New Year might have changed yet again due to Covid-19. My prayer for you all this Christmas, is that amidst any uncertainty, you may find great comfort, security, and reassurance in the promises of God, promises fulfill

Special Guest Blogger, member of our congregation and author on grief and loss, Andrea Corrie, shares her latest blog post. Superstition has it that hammering a coin into a felled or fallen ancient tree and making a wish, can rid you of illness and bring you fortune. The image at the top of this blog post, photographed on a recent walk, is from one such tree, which lies on the ground near Tarr Steps in Somerset. As I took the photo, God’s name stood out in sharp relief which

When it feels like the world is spinning out of control, where does our hope come from? Here's Rev. Andy Humm, vicar at St George & St Paul Tiverton, with our latest blog post. This week's news has been full of headlines, from promises and statements and future hope from Glasgow and the COP26 summit, and of course speculation about whether these promises will be kept. We fell silent on Thursday as we remembered the Armistice and those who had given their lives during past con

As world leaders meet for the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, should we also be considering our own responsibility as Christians to care for God's amazing Creation? Here's the latest blog post from Rev. Andy Humm, Vicar at St George & St Paul's Church, Tiverton. When Jesus is challenged to define who ‘our neighbour’ is, he tells a parable that calls us to love anyone who is in need (Luke 10:25–37). Our mission partner Tearfund notes that love for our global neighbours can ta

What's your most unforgettable memory? Let us know in the comments. There is something memorable about those, ‘I remember where I was when…’ moments of life, national or world events, speeches or announcements, some good and some not so good, that stay with us. National sport amongst others certainly creates many unforgettable memories. I remember where I was on ‘Super Saturday’ when Jessica Ennis, Greg Rutherford and Mo Farah all secured Gold for Britain in the athletics at

Whether you have been at home or ventured further afield, where have you seen God at work lately? (Written the week that the UK government announced the lifting of all remaining Covid-19 restrictions will be delayed for at least a month) SO...things are not going to happen exactly how we hoped they would… ~Lockdown is not being lifted, yet! ~We still can’t sing in church. ~And are we still going to work out how to use Zoom? If everything turned out how we hoped or wanted, thi

What does the word 'love' mean to you? ‘What is love?’ was the most searched query online in 2012 according to the internet giants, Google. We use the word love to describe a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes that range from inter-personal affection for example; ‘I love my wife;' to pleasure ‘I love this chocolate fudge cake.’ It can refer to an emotion of a strong attraction or personal attachment, ‘I love my X-Box’ or ‘I love Exeter City FC.’ It can als
