St Andrew’s Church, Buckland Monachorum
and the Church of the Holy Spirit, Milton Combe
Welcome to our website! As you may know, all normal church services have been suspended. We now have to close our church buildings, and sadly no longer ring the bells…However, this does not mean that we cannot meet ‘virtually’ or by telephone, and keep in touch in new and different ways!
We are also building a library of sermons from our present preaching series, as well as a resources area full of helpful articles, links and videos. Please feel free to browse both areas of the website using the ‘sermons and messages’ and the ‘resources’ links below
Remember, we are gathering in spirit at 12 noon each day, praying for each other, our families, our communities, for those who work in our health and emergency services, for our nation and for the world. So please set your alarms and join us in our quiet moment.

A message from Revd Andy Bowden about the Church’s services and support in the community
A prayer for those in isolation
God of compassion, be close to those who are ill, afraid or in isolation. In their loneliness, be their consolation; in their anxiety, be their hope; in their darkness, be their light; through him who suffered alone on the cross, but reigns with you in glory, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
For carers, hospital staff and researchers
Gracious God, give skill, sympathy and resilience to all who are caring for the sick, and your wisdom to those searching for a cure. Strengthen them with your Spirit, that through their work many will be restored to health, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
