Recent ImagesThe tranquil village of Landkey is situated just three miles from the busy market town of Barnstaple in North Devon. With a growing population in excess of 2000, a strong sense of community exists within the village and, of this, the church is an important part. As well as offering regular Christian worship, the church provides valuable links to other areas of the community such as the local Primary School and the Mothers' Union.
St Paul's is a friendly church in which the Christian message is heard regularly by a congregation of around 25 worshippers. All are welcome to attend our services.
A full peal of the church bells was rung as part of the Queen's Jubilee celebrations on 2nd June 2022. A small clip (1 minute) was recorded and may be viewed here:

Martin Grant and Jackie Passmore were married at St Paul's on 7th July 2022 at a service led by Revd Jackie Giddings. It was a joyful occasion with the bells ringing out beforehand and with the decorations remaining in the church for the enjoyment of congregation members on the following Sunday.
A picture has been uploaded onto the website and is available to view by kind permission of Jackie and Martin.
We wish them both every happiness in their lives ahead together.

The Church of England updated its guidelines for churches in respect of Covid-19 on 3rd May 2022 and these are avilable in the document on the link below.
The main change is that the assumption is now that churches will offer Holy Communion as both bread and wine unless there is a compelling reason not to do so. The use of face coverings is recommended in enclosed or crowded spaces.
At St Paul's, we have reintroduced the chalice and, while we invite congregation members to receive Communion, we do not place any obligation on anyone to do so. We also continue to support the wearing of face masks, although this is not an expectation.
Most importantly, all are welcome at St Paul's!
