    Following the Prime Minister’s announcement of 23rd March, the Archbishops have written to clergy in support of the measures and again on 27 March, requiring that churches must now close both for private worship and public services. Our church buildings are therefore now closed for public worship, private prayer and all other meetings and activities until further notice. However, our online services are very active! You can access regular updates via the website: www.newboldparishchurch.org.uk Our Facebook page is updated daily: www.facebook.com/newboldparishchurch All of our videos of services, Bible readings, reflections and a song or two can be found on Youtube: Search - Newbold Parish Church channel As mentioned previously, if you, or someone you know, would like prayer at this time, please contact Revd Ben 450374, or Revd Rhoda 07838316610, or email us: [email protected] Dear all, It feels a lot longer than a month since I last wrote the Rector’s letter! This ‘lockdown’ appears to do strange things to time as well as to many other aspects of ‘normal’ life. Palm Sunday, Holy Week and Easter were particularly strange this year. It is the first time in living memory that the church has not been able to meet together at this most special time. I hope many of you were able to use the prayer resources, and palm cross, which we sent out prior to holy week. I put the 6’ cross we use for ‘Experience Easter’ up in the Rectory garden, by the boundary wall on Littlemoor, which I hope made a few people think.

  • Chaplaincy & Coronavirus
    I wouldn’t have got through the last few months without Chaplaincy the chaplains. The support they gave the staff and the & Coronavirus patients through a very difficult time was amazing. Discerning Nurse at Royal United Impact Hospitals, Bath Before, and after, lockdown… school chaplaincy in Cheddar. The chaplain , Ruth Motion, with Bishop Ruth, before her commissioning, and with students in a different time 2 “ Most chaplains have no churches, or chapels, to either open or close. At the start of the lockdown the Archbishops of Canterbury and York wrote to us that ministry would be more defined by pastoral care and prayer and less by Sunday worship. That sums up chaplaincy. Throughout this time when church buildings are closed, chaplains, like ministers in parishes, have continued to serve. They have been there with the sick and bereaved, the hungry and lonely, they have prayed and cared and lived and shared faith. This has been most obvious through the amazing work of health care chaplains. However, chaplains in education, the police and industry have also learned how to serve vulnerable and dispersed communities and done so with enormous skill and grace. A small part of that story, and the difference it makes, is contained within this booklet. I commend it to you as, together, we continue to live and tell the story of God’s love in our world. Rt Revd Ruth Worsley Bishop of Taunton A nurse said: ‘The chaplains have got this knack of finding you, this inner sense of where you are and when you need them to visit.’ 3 Making a Difference? There are over 300 chaplains in Somerset; serving in health care, “education, industry, leisure and beyond.

  • England: Coastal Exmoor a Literary Landscape
    Telephone: +44 (0) 1722 322 652 Email: [email protected] England: Coastal Exmoor A literary landscape https://www.onfootholidays.co.uk/routes/england-coastal-exmoor/ Route Summary At a glance 6 nights (5 days walking) - the full route. We recommend extra nights in Lynton or Lynmouth and/or Dunster. Dog-friendly with some alternative accommodations. How much walking? Full days: 11-22km per day, 3-6 hrs walking Using shortening options: 8-14km per day, 3-4 hrs Max. Grade: page 1/8 In contrast to the more crowded sections of the South West Coast Path, the part along the North Devon and Somerset coasts is not only quieter but of quite a different character, and we at On Foot Holidays have taken the opportunity of adding some lovely inland stretches not normally included. The result is a magical combination of coastal walking (including the highest point on the South West Coast Path), Exmoor itself, cosy villages and some striking literary connections. This is Lorna Doone country – the heroine of R D Blackmore’s Exmoor-set historical tragedy – so prepare the hankies. You can visit the church she married in, as well as other places connected with her tale, and much of the second half of the walk uses the Coleridge Way (named for the English Romantic poet who made his second home in this area). The 6-night version starts with a night at the railhead of Barnstaple, where you can settle in, have a look at the interesting centre and have a good supper to prepare yourself for the next day’s walking.
