I’m sure we all agree that 2020 was a very unusual year, with normal church activities suspended because of Covid-19. Mount Charles Church found one way to offer worship in line with the restrictions by holding some drive-in services in the church car park. You can now view photos from these services on the “Drive-In Worship 2020” page of this website.

We are holding a Nativity Open Church on Saturday 19th December. The church will be open from 10 a.m. until 12 noon so that people can come and see the nativity scene, crib, prayer tree and Christmas tree.

Our drive-in worship on Sunday 11th October will be a Harvest Festival celebration led by Rev Graham Thompson, Chair of the Plymouth and Exeter District. There will be a bin provided for our gifts of tins or packets for the Food Bank, which we can use as we arrive. A Retiring Collection for All We Can (the Methodist relief and development charity) Harvest Appeal will be taken as we leave. To book a place, please contact Liz Burroughs dreab@talktalk.net or 871211. Spaces are filling up fast – so don’t delay.

We will be holding drive-in worship again tomottow (27th September) in the car park at 10.30 a.m. To book a place for a car or a pedestrian, please contact Liz Burroughs (01726 871211 or dreab@talktalk.net).
