Crediton Parish Church
Great concert coming up on May 17th. All welcome! Wonderful chance to hear a live professional orchestra here in Crediton - a special experience especially for young people. We are so glad to welcome back the Kammerphiharmonie Europa after their hugely successful previous visits.
We are grateful to everyone that supported the Plant Sale which raised an astonishing £1185 for the work and ministry of the church. The church's next big event is the South West Quilters Exhibition where 100 quilts, including a quilted wedding dress, will be on display in the beautiful, historic setting of the church. Other attractions include the Newton St Cyres Art Group Exhibition. Full details on the posters.
Some dates for your diaries. On Friday 24 April, there's Going for a Sing in the Boniface Centre at 10.30am when this informal singing group will tackle songs by artists whose names begin with B. Then on Saturday 25 April, there is a plant sale together with bric-a-brac and refreshments in the Boniface Centre from 10am to 12noon. Further ahead, there will be an exhibition by the Southwest Quilters in the church from Friday 29 to Sunday 31 May. This promises to be a special event displaying the quilts in our beautiful, historic church. More details in due course.
It's estimated that around 120 people drawn from all the churches in Crediton came together on Good Friday for this year's Walk of Witness when we remember the events leading up to Jesus's crucifixion. Then on Easter Sunday, we celebrated his resurrection - Alleluia!
Holy Cross has received one of three Magnolia trees, given by the Bishop of Exeter to mark the installation of the Most Revd and Rt Hon Dame Sarah Mullally as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury on 25th March. This recognises Dame Sarah's time as Bishop of Crediton. The variety is 'Magnolia Genie' with the photos showing the planting ceremony.
