Today marks Day 1 of Thy Kingdom Come 2026. ✨

As this year’s global wave of prayer begins, we invite you to join us over the next 11 days in praying, ‘Come Holy Spirit’, asking God to renew us by His Spirit and help us share His love with the Five people we are holding in prayer.

Let us pray that the Spirit will make us effective witnesses to our Five loved ones. 🙏

Oh Lord, never suffer us to think that we can stand by ourselves and not need You.
In Jesus name,
Amen.

In May there are a couple of services listed that take place outside of the Polden Wheel - in the Moorlinch and Stawell Churches. At some time in the future these parishes will merge with the Polden Wheel Churches to form a new group. It is good to be able to start sharing our worship and building new friendships.

Those eagle-eyed among you will have noticed that on the earlier April Services Poster, the Sunday 3rd May 9am Service is listed as being at Ashcott, but it is in fact at Catcott. As mentioned before the St Peter's Church (Catcott) service will be at 9am instead of the usual 9.30. This is to allow attendance at the 10am service at St Mary's Church, Moorlinch where the new Bishop of Taunton, Fiona Gibson, is taking the Communion Service.

Holy week is well under way. Good Friday can be marked with the Stations of the Cross. This is a service of readings, hymns and reflections. On Easter day there is the Sunrise Service at Ham Wall for the early morning folk. This will be followed by hot cross buns and hot drinks. Later there are two communion services, also followed by refreshments. All three provide an opportunity to celebrate that our Lord, Jesus Christ is risen.
On the first Sunday in May, the services are a bit different, The St Peter's Church (Catcott) service will be at 9am instead of the usual 9.30. This is to allow attendance at the 10am service at St Mary's Church, Moorlinch where the new Bishop of Taunton, Fiona Gibson, is taking the Communion Service.
Between the two weekends, there are a variety of services on offer, and you are very welcome at any of them. It would be good to see you there!

Gracious God, we give thanks and ask you to bless all those who offer motherly love. We ask for you to surround with your unbounded love all those who will particularly miss their mothers today, or who find today a challenge for whatever reason.
