Welcome to the Benefice of the Lavingtons, Cheverells & Easterton.
Our Churches are now open every day. Please continue to use hand sanitiser provided.
We would love to see everyone in person at services around the Benefice.
We are five church communities in the villages of
Market Lavington, West Lavington, Great Cheverell, Little Cheverell & Easterton.
Please continue to pray for Marion, the ministry team and the churchwardens as they work together in our local communities.
From the Rector
We have come out of lockdown and we think we weathered it quite well. But a lot of people didn’t. For them lockdown was hard. Money was short or non existent. Foodbanks and Charites a godsend and peoples mental health suffered greatly. And now all of us are being hit with a wave of rising fuel prices that will affect every one of us. Many will suffer to the point of braking. Without faith, that point makes us feel that we have our backs to the wall and no one can help or even cares. That’s when we come out spitting venom at the world and anger spills out on our streets and football stadiums. With faith we know we are not alone, with faith we endure knowing that God’s plan is in action. We know we will win through.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Matt 5:5
Here in our benefice we are celebrating the Queen’s platinum Jubilee with a Sung Matins. Her Majesty, as head of the Church of England, follows services form the Book of Common Prayer (BCP) and so to give honour to the title Her Majesty holds, this is the service we chose for our benefice service. You are all invited to join us for the service in All Saints’ Church, West Lavington at 11.00 am, and to bring a picnic lunch for after the service outside (weather permitting) on the churchyard grass. Coffee, tea, soft drinks suppled – feel free to bring your own wine/larger etc. We promise a warm welcome, even if it’s cold.
