St. Winwaloe’s Church is joining churches all over the country to commemorate VE Day on Thursday 8th May. Our bell team will be ringing out in celebration at 6.30pm – just as church bells rang in 1945 to signal the end of the conflict.
Listen out on Thursday in East Portlemouth, or wherever you are in the country, and say a quiet prayer of thanksgiving – you might find one of these helpful:-
For those who served and died in the Second World War
O God of truth and justice,
we hold before you those men and women
who have died in active service, particularly in the Second World War,
whose sacrifice brought Victory in Europe.
As we honour their courage and cherish their memory,
may we put our faith in your future;
for you are the source of life and hope,
now and for ever.
Amen.
For those who serve today
O Lord God of Hosts,
stretch forth, we pray, your almighty arm
to strengthen and protect our service men and women.
Support them in times of conflict,
and in their rest and training keep them safe from all evil;
endue them with courage and loyalty;
and grant that in all things they may serve without reproach;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
For the peace of the world
O God, who would fold both heaven and earth in a single peace;
that the design of your great love lighten
upon the waste of our wraths and sorrows
and give peace to your church, peace among nations,
peace in our dwellings and peace in our hearts;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Devon and Cornwall Police issued the following at1615 on Tuesday 29th April 2025:
Embankment Road Kingsbridge will be closed to allow advanced photography of scene for the ongoing investigation between the Cemetery and Bowcombe Creek Bridge. The bridge itself and the lane system north of the bridge will remain open, but these are narrow and difficult to pass in heavy vehicles.
Please share this message to anyone you know who takes this route around that time.
South Devon National Landscape – Management Plan review
South Devon National Landscape is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), and one of 46 National Landscapes in England and Wales. Overseeing the care and management of the National Landscape is a partnership of organisations and community representatives. The partnership takes a strategic view of the area, publishes the National Landscape Management Plan, and guides the work of the National Landscape Team.
As part of their 2025-2030 Management Plan review South Devon National Landscape has just launched a public survey. They are hoping to get as many residents and visitors to the area as possible to compete the form which should take no more then 10 – 15 minutes to complete.
Your views will help them to focus their efforts on care for the landscape and to address current and future challenges, as set out in the Management Plan.
It’s your chance to shape the future of South Devon National Landscape! Thank you for your time.
