Welcome to St Michael and All Angels

~  The community of St Michael’s Mount Dinham extends a very warm welcome to everyone   ~

PUBLIC WORSHIP SUSPENDED in the Parish of St David with St Michael. To be reviewed for the end of February.

All are welcome to Worship with us Online until Services in our beautiful Church building can be resumed.

Sadly, but wisely in light of the current Covid pandemic, we have decided to suspend all Public Worship in the Parish.

St Michael’s Church will open to allow Private Prayers with full Covid precautions on Sundays only from 11am – 12noon.

Wednesday Matins will be streamed to our St Michael & All Angels Facebook page, available live & later.

St David’s Church will open for Private Prayer, Sundays 9.30-10.30am and Thursdays 10.30-11.30am.

As well as Services & Prayers Online via our Facebook pages, our Weekly Pew Sheets & Notices giving up-to-date information will be linked from the Events pages. 

While open for Private Prayer on Sundays between 11am-12noon, for your safety, please be Covid-Aware – use Hand Sanitiser, at least 2m distancing & marked pews, and face covering unless exempt.

Fr Nigel Guthrie, Curates Ash Leighton Plom & Belinda Speed-Andrews, with Readers and visiting clergy minister in the Parish. By mutual agreement, at St Michael’s only male priests preside.

It’s a way to stay in touch and hold together in this difficult time. Advice & news from Exeter Diocese is at this link.

Here is this month’s Parish Magazine, the pre-Covid  Music List,   Lectures (currently suspended), and a selection of recordings of the Choir.

Our nature and wildlife continue to thrive. St Michael’s famous Peregrine Falcons can be watched via the webcam viewing their nest within the spire. In 2020 our female Peregrine laid 3 eggs, but sadly for the first time in 24 years none of them hatched. Exeter Peregrine Group’s Flickr gallery holds unique and beautiful images of these incredible birds.

We send our very best wishes to you all – may you stay grounded and healthy, and may we all navigate the challenges of this time with grace and love.
