CHRISTMAS - Details of services across the Mission Community

​ Exeter Diocese has been developing Mission Communities since 2006.  These are groups of parishes in the same locality who share the same ministry team, and a common vision, whilst each church still maintains its own identity.
​WELCOME to the South Molton Mission Community (legally South Molton Benefice) which comprises nine churches spread across a large area of rural ​North Devon.  See map.

The Christian Symbolism:

• The circle, because it has no beginning or end, is symbolic of eternity. It is used most often as a reference to God.
• The plain shepherd's crook is a reminder of Jesus, the Good Shepherd.*      ( It also reminds us that our Mission Community historically, and even to this day, is an agricultural area of which sheep farming plays an important part.)
• The initials form, in conjunction with the crook, a cross which is the chief sign of the Christian church. It is a reminder that Jesus Christ is the centre of our Christian faith.

​* A highly ornamented crook called a "crosier"  is used as a symbol of ecclesiastical authority carried by a bishop.
