Technical note from the website editor:
You may notice some odd effects in the document this month. Unfortunately, these are in the original so I’m afraid I can’t correct them.

Mothering Sunday at Gittisham
Video material from the Diocese . . .
We produced a Prayer leaflet for your use during the Coronavirus emergency. This has been combined with the simple form of Worship for use at home that we introduced at the start of lock-down.
I encourage you to stop each Sunday morning at the time of your usual church service, and use this service, worshipping at home, but as part of the Body of Christ, and its local expression in your community. I will of course be praying it in solidarity with all of you.
With my love and blessings, Sue

Resources for children, families and young people
Exeter Diocese have developed a huge range of resources and activities for children of all ages.
Baptisms & Weddings
Weddings and Baptisms are now permitted with no specific number restrictions, and people should contact the Parish Office in the first instance to get the appropriate application form.
Once completed the form should be returned to the office when a date will be offered for baptisms, and hopefully agreed for weddings.
Funerals
Funerals are now unrestricted in numbers attending.
The Funeral Directors will arrange the date of the funeral direct with the Parish Office.
Some Funeral Directors take a list of who attends as information for the family.

The Churches in our Mission Community
Our Mission Community website
If you are expecting to see the St Paul’s, Honiton website at this address, then let’s explain.
The domain name “HonitonCofE.org” feels more appropriate to the whole of the church in the Honiton area. So we have decided to make this the page that will cover all the activities that involve and affect all the parishes and churches in the Honiton Mission Community (HMC).
Each church’s individual page(s) can be linked by:
* clicking on the appropriate image, or
* by selection from the menu, or
* direct from your browser using the format www.HonitonCofE.org/{church} (eg. www.HonitonCofE.org/Awliscombe)
We hope that you like the result and we look forward to receiving feedback and suggestions on how we can keep this important resource up-to-date and relevant.

Safeguarding
Safeguarding is the responsibility of each church in our Mission Community.
Please see the appropriate parish page (from the menu below) for more detail:

SAFEGUARDING in the Honiton Mission Community – Promoting Safer Churches
The parishes of Awliscombe, Buckerell, Combe Raleigh, Cotleigh, Gittisham and Honiton (which make up the Honiton Mission Community) are committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults at risk to worship and grow in Christ safely.
Concerns about children, young people and adults at risk will be diligently and promptly responded to according to our procedures, recognising the sensitivity it may hold for those involved.
As a Mission Community (group of parish churches) we have adopted the House of Bishops ‘Promoting a Safer Church’ policy and the Parish Safeguarding Handbook, incorporating the House of Bishop’s Safeguarding Policy and Practice Guidance.
All our PCCs (Church Councils) have formally adopted this and signed a Safeguarding Policy Statement Promoting a Safer Church and a copy of this can be found on each church’s page on this site.
We have also displayed the Promoting a Safer Church poster prominently within each church.
All those working with children and adults at risk have undergone safer recruitment, received safeguarding training and support.
If you have a concern about the safety of someone or the actions of someone working with children or vulnerable adults, please speak to the appropriate contact for your church – see the list or visit the church’s page on this website:
You could also contact the Diocesan Safeguarding Team at https://exeter.anglican.org/resources/safeguarding/safeguarding-team/
If you are a young person and you feel unhappy about something happening to you, you can call Childline on 0800 11 11.
