At St Peter & St Paul’s Church we are currently in a time of interregnum after Rev Alison Way left the parish in April 2024.
If you would like to apply to be our new Priest we would be very happy to welcome you to our parishes in beautiful southeast Somerset! Please follow this link Priest – Benefice of Wincanton, Pen Selwood, Charlton Musgrove et al – Bath and Wells Diocese where you will find the Advert, Role Description and Parish Profile, or see the Advert in the Church Times! A very warm welcome awaits.
Prayer for the Vacancy: Beloved God, surround us with your spirit as we work together in this time of vacancy. Holy Spirit, guide those who are seeking the right next step in their ministry and those who are seeking the right priest to be our next vicar. May we all feel your presence, Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
We were delighted to welcome Bishop Michael to lead our Sunday service for Epiphany on Sunday 5th January. This joyful service was enjoyed by the community from across our newly forming Benefice, from churches in Wincanton, Pen Selwood, Charlton Musgrove, Cucklington and Stoke Trister with Bayford as well as the local community. Heartfult thanks to Bishop Michael for visiting and worshipping with us during our interregnum.
We worship most Sundays in the church, and the building is currently open from 9am-3pm daily. Please come in via the South Door (level access entry) during the week.
