Special note regarding St Mary Magdalene Church Services:

The Dean of Wells, the very Rev. Toby Wright and the Archdeacon, the Venerable Anne Gell, have both agreed to lead services before Easter. As far as we know this is a first for St Mary Magdalene. It will be a lovely opportunity to hear two of our leading local clergy preach in Wookey Hole. I wonder if this might be a good opportunity to visit the church for a Sunday service if you have not done so before.

A few weeks later on Easter Day, Rev. Jonathan Lloyd has agreed to take two services in Wookey Hole. One at dawn and another one at our normal time of 9.30am.

If you haven’t been to the St Mary Magdalene Easter Dawn Service before, it takes place on the side of Deerleap in a field. (There will be clear direction signs on the day). In previous years we have been blessed with a wonderful dawn with a sunrise during the service, and a spring dawn chorus from the birds in the nearby woods. For anyone less inclined to early starts there will be an Easter Day service at 9.30 in the centrally heated church!

Update from the church wardens

Rev’d Sam Denyer, our vicar in Wookey Hole since 2018, has taken up a new post in Bristol.

Historically the church process for recruiting a replacement has been surprisingly slow, so as churchwardens Caroline and I will have the task of drawing up a rota of clergy to take the services each Sunday probably for at least the next year.

A ‘Vacancy’, (its official terminology), is an excellent opportunity to hear a range of Christian services taken by different vicars, but still within the same familiar Wookey Hole setting. All services are open to anyone, any age, and with any faith or none.

So far, we have heard from a retired oncologist who was called to the priesthood after years’ working for the NHS and a senior member of Wells cathedral staff. Both have been very stimulating.

Weddings, Baptisms, Blessings etc are of course still available and the church is a brilliant venue if you are holding a concert or event. (As the packed audience for the excellent Starling Concert earlier this month will attest).

Finally, a look ahead to December…

Schhhhh. Christmas is nearly upon us! The Wookey Hole Carol Service is on Sunday December 7th at 6.30pm.

Are you involved with the pop-up choir. Why not? This is a fun way to spend a cold winter evening. (The church has heating!) There will be a short rehearsal on 18th November at 6.30pm and the another just before the Carol Service at 5.30pm.

No, you need not be a cathedral chorister to take part and Susan (07970 102 959), would be delighted to have a chat if you want more details. What are you waiting for?
