Sunday 22 April - St George
The Minster is holding a service to mark St George’s Day (23rd). St George is Patron Saint of both England and the Scouting Movement and to mark this occasion the Axminster Scouts, Cubs and Beavers will be parading through the town to join the 11am service in the Minster, along with their families. Will there be dragons?

Bishop Sarah Licences Rev'd Mary and Rev'd Cate to the Axe Valley Mission Community
On Friday, 16 February 2018, the Bishop of Crediton, The Right Rev'd Sarah Mullally, lead a lovely service to celebrate the licensing of our two new Associate Priests at the Minster church in Axminster.

Almost 100 people were present for the service and time of fellowship afterwards. All 6 of our Mission Community churches were well represented, with the churchwardens and team clergy processing with the Bishop, and a Mission Community choir leading the singing.
Bishop Sarah led a wonderful service on what was probably her last visit to the Minster in her role as Bishop of Crediton before she takes up the position of Bishop of London in May. |

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2018 (21 – 28 January 2018)
This international week of prayer and events is being supported by Axminster Churches Together as a major commitment to unity, prayer and community.
The week will begin and end with a ‘United Gathering’ at the Minster –
Beginning at 6.00 pm on Sunday 21 January
Concluding at 6.00 pm on Sunday 28 January
In between there will be a full programme of events and meetings. Click here for more details.
Part of the Minster's commitment includes having a ‘drop in’ each afternoon from 3.30 till 6.00 pm. We hope to encourage those of all ages to come in for a drink and to enjoy the warmth and welcome of the church. It has been set at this time to try to encourage families and young people to come in at the end of the school day. We want to have the church manned during this time so that we can meet and talk with people or simply allow them to enjoy the space.
Your prayers and involvement throughout this week will be welcome.
