Welcome to the Benefice of the Lavingtons, Cheverells & Easterton.
We are five church communities in the villages of:
Market Lavington, West Lavington, Great Cheverell, Little Cheverell & Easterton.
We are all delighted that The Rev Sam Park was licensed as our new Rector on 20th April. It was a very joyous occasion, and we are thankful to all who helped in the preparation for the service and for everyone who attended from our villages and beyond.
Bishop Andrew has informed us that, ‘following a recent medical diagnosis, Sam must begin a course of treatment, which will require her absence from ministry for up to six months. This is naturally a great concern and disappointment for Sam and the church community.
Please be assured that, with the willing assistance of The Rev Caroline Spindlow, the Lay Worship Leaders and Church Wardens, this interim in the benefice will be ably covered.
We are praying for Sam’s speedy recovery and for support for her and her family during the times ahead.’
Sam is absolutely thrilled about being our Rector and would like to extend her thanks for all the kindness and care that people have shown her over the last couple of weeks. When possible, Sam and her family will be present in our communities and joining in with events that are happening.
Sam is holding our communities in her prayers.
In the meantime, all enquiries relating to church matters should be directed to our Benefice Administrator, Cat Brown at lavingtonbenefice@gmail.com or mobile 07808 98 77 55 or to your Church Warden.
All Saints’, West Lavington, St. Barnabas, Easterton and St. Peter’s, Great Cheverell are open each day for private prayer and moments of peace and reflection in busy days.
