Church Life

It might be tempting to imagine that the life of a rural church like ours would be confined just to Sunday morning services. This is not the case for the many members of the congregation of St Paul's who find themselves regularly involved in activities connected with the church. The work that they do helps to create a valued sense of community in the village associated with the church. These are a few examples of organisations or activities in which St Paul's Church members play important roles:

Events Calendar
  • We have an active Mothers' Union which meets regularly, often in the village hall. They frequently invite a guest speaker to talk on a topic of interest.
  • The Landkey Horticultural Society provides a popular focus for its members to meet and discuss gardening tips and to purchase garden seeds at attractive prices. It also helps to host the annual Landkey village fete in July.
  • The church has close links with the village primary school and these include frequent talks to the children by Churchwarden Mrs Eileen MacCaig.
  • Church fund-raising events are organised periodically and their themes can sometimes be quite imaginative. One of the most memorable occurred after a Sunday morning service when our previous vicar, Revd. Peter Bowers, abseiled down the church spire in order to help raise much-needed church funds! His efforts were rewarded by a swelling of the church coffers!
  • Landkey United Fellowshipcomprises a group of Christians from various denominations which meets in Landkey Village Hall on the second Tuesday of each month. The meeting begins at 2:30pm and lasts for about an hour. A short session of worship involving hymns and prayer is followed by a 20-30 minute talk before tea and biscuits are served.

If you are interested in being involved in any of our church or village organisations or activities, please feel free to contact us. A list of contacts may be found on our "Contact Us" page.
