Special note regarding St Mary Magdalene Church Services:

The Dean of Wells, the very Rev. Toby Wright and the Archdeacon, the Venerable Anne Gell, have both agreed to lead services before Easter. As far as we know this is a first for St Mary Magdalene. It will be a lovely opportunity to hear two of our leading local clergy preach in Wookey Hole. I wonder if this might be a good opportunity to visit the church for a Sunday service if you have not done so before.

A few weeks later on Easter Day, Rev. Jonathan Lloyd has agreed to take two services in Wookey Hole. One at dawn and another one at our normal time of 9.30am.

If you haven’t been to the St Mary Magdalene Easter Dawn Service before, it takes place on the side of Deerleap in a field. (There will be clear direction signs on the day). In previous years we have been blessed with a wonderful dawn with a sunrise during the service, and a spring dawn chorus from the birds in the nearby woods. For anyone less inclined to early starts there will be an Easter Day service at 9.30 in the centrally heated church!

 A note about our next vicar:

 Thank you so much for your input last month.

 Caroline and I have collated the answers and these have formed part of a larger document that describes this village and the church, as well as our sister church, (St Cuthbert’s Church in Wells), to interested candidates.

 The draft of this larger document is now being vetted by the Bishop and the Archdeacon of Wells and their teams.

 When approved an advert will be placed based on this content seeking a suitable candidate.

 Caroline and I would like to wish everyone a very happy Easter
