It currently comprises of the United Benefice of Ermington and Ugborough and the United Benefice of Diptford with North Huish, Harberton, Harbertonford, Halwell and Moreleigh. This arrangement is being discontinued and all seven parishes are to unite as a Benefice. The arrival of an additional priest will mark a turning point for spiritual and pastoral growth of the Three Rivers Mission Community. The Community is ambitious in its aspiration to grow its identity and sense of community; there is an appetite for further development of lay leadership; each village aches for refreshed means of pastoral support; several schools are awakening to new opportunities for engagement; and there is deep Christian strength in regular service attendees. There are substantial and exciting opportunities for the development of Christ's Mission in this Community. Overview Three Rivers Mission Community The Mission Community is within easy reach of the A38 with good communications and motorway (M5) links with the rest of the country – Exeter and Plymouth each being a little over 40 minutes away. The main train stations are at Ivybridge or Totnes with links to London, the Midlands and the North of England. Exeter Airport is less than an hour away with direct links to cities in the UK and Europe. The seven parishes are situated in the South Hams of Devon and part of the Mission Community lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The parishes stretch from the village of Ermington south of Ivybridge to Harberton, three miles south west of Totnes and to Moreleigh on the road between Totnes and Kingsbridge in the South Hams. The name of the Mission Community reflects the fact that the Rivers Avon, Erme and Harbourne flow through the parishes. There are shopping facilities, medical centres and dentists in Ivybridge, South Brent and Totnes, which also has a small Community Hospital. The nearest large hospitals are Derriford in Plymouth and Torbay in Torquay. Days off can be spent enjoying the many wonderful beaches, walks, gardens and historic venues on offer throughout South Devon. There are plenty of nice places to eat, relax and explore along with lots of local events and musical and theatrical performances. Lots of the villages host art and craft events and there are plenty of different groups covering a wide range of interests along with short courses in a variety of locations. Each of the parishes plays a significant role within the life of their local communities and there are well-established and effective links with the four primary schools, two of which are Church schools. Secondary schools are nearby in Ivybridge and Totnes, and the Christian Educational Charity, ‘Breakthrough Transformation Trust’ which works with children and families whose challenges have kept them out of mainstream provision, and where they became isolated as a result. There is a Residential Nursing Home in Ermington which the Priest in Charge visits and where Holy Communion is taken on a monthly basis. Former members of our congregations receive Holy Communion either in own their homes or other local residential homes by arrangement with the Priest in Charge. Each Church holds a Sunday morning Act of Worship, which alternates between a Eucharist and a non-Eucharistic lay-led Service by members of our Local Worship Leaders (a team of over twenty volunteers, who have been locally trained). We are seeking to develop these services across our Mission Community to encourage our wider supportive community to engage in relevant and more openly accessible acts of worship. We aim to be a friendly, open and welcoming community with a strong commitment to all ages not only through our links with the primary schools but also seek to encourage the active involvement of young families within the Church in general. This has been most successfully achieved through development of our two Messy Church services held monthly in Diptford and Ugborough. We hold several special Mission Community Services and outreach projects throughout the year; such as Thy Kingdom Come, the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, the Pilgrim Course, an Annual Rogation Service and the Armistice Day Service held in North Huish. Compline Services are held in each of the Churches so people can attend from across the Mission Community during Lent, Advent and ‘Thy Kingdom Come.’ Person Profile We are looking for a House for Duty Priest: • To help establish a pattern of pastoral care throughout the Mission Community and enjoy taking part in the rural community activities that bond the populations together. • With the ability to lead, share leadership and encourage the lay teams to interrelate with the communities. • With the ability to communicate with, appeal to, understand and relate to a wide range of ages and occupations whilst balancing the needs of the churches in the Mission Community. • With the energy and enthusiasm to help lead and support rural ministry and the practical challenges it presents. • Who is enthusiastic and creative to provide worship in a variety of forms. • Who is willing to help develop our vision to grow through outreach as we become a new Benefice. What we are able to offer: • Loyal and supportive clergy and congregations, who care for each other and for their ministry team. • A faithful group of lay people who assist in worship. • All actual clergy expenses. • Support and encouragement for continuing professional development. • A good place to live – in the vicarage, within the village and in the surrounding area of the South Hams. PART TWO Parishes Our Mission Community seeks to support all who wish to connect or re-connect with the Church and to this end conducts baptisms, weddings, funerals and confirmations. Those who have been baptised and their families are invited to come along to Messy Church. St Peter & St Paul Ermington The Parish of St Peter & St Paul Ermington serves a community of approximately 900 people. The well maintained church, with beautiful wood carvings has a loyal congregation of 35 regular worshippers from around the area. A small choir, organist, and bell ringers support the worship and there is a good involvement by laity in leading some services, preparing intercessions and readings. A monthly newsletter is distributed to 220 homes. There is already good support from village residents for fund raising projects associated with the church but we aim to make greater contact with the community helping them get to know about God’s love for them. The church is open daily but we need to be with them on their ‘home ground’ too. Given the size of the Mission Community it is not something that can be left to the clergy alone. St Peter’s Church, Ugborough Ugborough is a large parish of around 1750 residents, who live in the main Village, and three large hamlets, as well as numerous outlying farms. The community is mixed, with many traditional farming families, professionals, craftspeople, and retirees, as well as many families with children. Our Services are held at 9.30am, a mix of formal and informal services. Congregations are small, but a regular Choir of up to 8 attends. Messy Church is held once a month. A Harvest Festival, a Carol Service and the Christingle, which sees a packed church, also takes place. The School and the Church are very much a part of the community, as are the two Village Halls which both accommodate many community events. A thriving free monthly newsletter is distributed to nearly 700 households, this gives details of all events taking place in the parish, including Church services. St. Mary the Virgin, Diptford with North Huish We are a rural parish of two villages and a number of small hamlets and farms. The village of Diptford is the larger centre of population with the church of St. Mary The Virgin, the Parochial Primary School and the Parish Hall. The church of St. Mary’s, North Huish is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust and is used for occasional services. Other services and activities take place in Diptford. Congregation members are involved with Mission Community activities such as the Emmaus Study Group, Messy Church, the Mother’s Union, an across parishes annual plant sale as well as, within the parish, the school, the Baby and Toddler group and social events for all ages such as Soup and Pudding Lunches. All Saints’ Church, Morleigh Morleigh is situated between Halwell and Diptford Parishes and is the smallest within the Three Rivers Mission Community. We have a Village Hall in which various village events, a preschool group, dance classes and parties are held. We share services with St. Leonards, Halwell. Within a typical month at All Saints we have one Holy Communion Service and one Breakfast Church. We join with other Parishes for Bible Study, meetings and training. The first Sunday in November we hold a Mission Community Service to which all recently bereaved Parishioners are invited to attend. St. Leonard's Church, Halwell The Church of St Leonard (1475) and the surrounding area date back to the Iron Age, nowadays the parish is predominantly sustained through farming, tourism and a small industrial estate.

Excluding listed places of worship, for which the survey is still incomplete,1,150 assets have been removed for positive reasons since the Register was launched in 2008.The sites that remain at risk tend to be the more intractable ones where solutions are taking longer to implement. While the overall number of buildings at risk has fallen, the average conservation deficit for each property has increased from £260k (1999) to £370k (2012).We are also seeing a steady increase in the proportion of buildings that are capable of beneficial re-use – those that have become redundant not because of any fundamental lack of potential, but simply as the temporary victims of the current economic climate. The South West headlines for 2012 reveal a mixed picture. We will continue to fund Monument Management It is good news that 8 buildings at risk have been removed Schemes which, with match-funding from local authorities, from the Register; less good that another 15 have had to offer a cost-effective, locally led approach to tackling be added.
