Camelot Parishes

“A family of rural churches proclaiming the greatness of God.” 

 

WELCOME TO THE CAMELOT PARISHES WEBSITE

Welcome to the website for the Camelot Group of parishes.  We hope it will both inform and encourage you.  As Christians we wish to grow in the knowledge of God’s love in Christ so that we may pass that love on to others.  Our prayer is that “we might live in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us”. (Ephesians 5:2).

 

Following the retirement of the Rector in August, the Camelot Parishes are now in vacancy.  Despite this, the church is the people of God and in that sense we are very much alive and our values of growing as a worshipper, servant and family remain as relevant as ever.

Pastoral reorganisation in the Deanery means that the Camelot Parishes are likely to be split up (formal consultations have yet to take place).  In the meantime the life of the benefice and all its parishes continues as before.
