About Us
We are committed, in fellowship with other Christians, to using the gifts God has given us in the service of his Kingdom. Through Christ we look to a new oneness with God, with each other and with the world in which we live. A warm invitation and welcome is extended to anyone who would like to join us for worship or in any of our other activities.
Our parishes also include two Aided Primary Schools:
All Saints Marsh
and
Wolborough.
We exercise a hospital chaplaincy in Newton Abbot. The Rector is also chair of the Lady Lucie Reynell Almshouse Trust.

Next Prayer Breakfasts
8.00am Sat 12 May
Middleton Room,
St Paul's
If you have not attended prayer breakfast before, don't be shy; it is a very informal gathering and attracts Christians from all over Newton Abbot. The prayers are led from around 8.30 and we usually break by around 9.00am.
The Church Coffee Mornings
Usually on the last Saturday in the month we hold a coffee
morning in aid of a charity. Every year or so we put out
requests for which charity to support during the coming
months. This is flexible to allow for emergencies such as the
Pakistan Flood relief. If you have a charity that you think we
should support, speak to David Waterhouse.
Ogwell, Flower and Art Festival at St. Bartholomew's Church is this summer Friday 29th June - Sunday 1st July 2012 inclusive The theme of the Flower Festival is 60 years of the Queen's reign but will include Royal and non Royal events. For the Flower Festival we would be very grateful for donations towards the flowers or sponsorship of displays in memory of a loved one or memorable event of the last 60 years.
The Coffee Morning in aid of Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital raised £193. Thank you to all concerned.
Mali School Children. For the past few years we have sponsored 20 schoolchildren in Mali through our link with Christian Aid. If you would like to sponsor a child or children at a cost of £27 each for their schooling for a year please contact the Rector or let the Parish Office know. It would be good to maintain our level of support for these children and perhaps even sponsor more children. The scheme is important not simply for the children we support but because it provides a school in an African village community which adults can also use for educational opportunities. See Leader.
Send a Cow. I am very encouraged by the response to the Lenten Send A Cow Drought Kit Appeal. I have had some generous donations. Thank you so much. It is lovely to think that as a parish we can make a real difference to our neighbours in Africa. If you have been saving your cash during Lent for this appeal I am planning to send off the funds we have raised at the end of April. Adrian
The 45th Newton
Abbot Christian Aid Walk
Over the years, this walk has seen thousands of local
people taking part, raised over £355,000 to help poverty
stricken communities across the world. The walk is up to 8
laps (10 miles) round Newton Abbot Racecourse on Saturday 12th
May. The walk starts at 10:30am, but walkers will be asked to
sign in from 9:45am. To register, go to
www.christianaid.org.uk/walks where you'll find a registration
form for the Newton Abbot Sponsored Walk. Once you've
registered, you'll receive a sponsorship form and some further
details about the day. There will be an optional lunch break
(bring your own or purchase from the food stalls). The walk
usually ends at around 2pm.
St Mary's Open
Days
We are planning to open St Mary's Church on 8 Wednesday
afternoons again this summer. The church will be open from
2-4pm and cream teas will be served.

Unless this situation is resolved the UK and world monetary systems will implode.
