CHURCH members united at a ecumenical day to celebrate the newly formed Holsworthy Mission Community.

Over 70 people attended a service in Holsworthy Church, followed by talks given in the Memorial Hall about the churches in the community.

Venerable David Gunn-Johnson (Archdeacon of Barnstaple) also attended the event.

Rev Dr Christopher Hardwick, Holsworthy Mission Community Enabler, Priest-in-Charge of Pyworthy, Pancrasweek and Bridgerule, has held conferences across the country but this was his first one in Devon.
