Tavistock Parish Church – “The Way Ahead”
Plans are being made to hold a buffet supper at the Town Hall in Tavistock on Friday 14th July at 6.30 pm to celebrate the life of St Eustachius’ Church and to look at how we can continue to develop our work in the town and the wider community in the years ahead. The event is called “The Way Ahead” and will be an opportunity to look at our future together, our financial situation, our plans to celebrate our 700th Anniversary during 2018, and our hopes and aspirations beyond that. The evening will include entertainment and guest speakers.
There are many ways in which we invest our time, energy and resources to witness to our community. Steeped in history, St Eustachius’ Church provides a peaceful, sacred space for all who live in the community, the surrounding areas, and to visitors. It is a major focal point for the town, and a place where many people can, and do, go to find a quiet place in a world which, from time to time, may seem a place of confusion or anxiety. We all benefit from having a beautiful and well-kept Church at the heart of Tavistock.
St Eustachius’ Church is not only a place of for worship, prayer, pastoral care and heritage, but also a centre of musical excellence, and a venue for concerts and other events. Tavistock Church hosts everything from choral and orchestral concerts, to the Tavistock Music and Arts Festival, and the highly successful annual Friends’ Christmas Tree Festival, to highlight only a few events which take place during the year. More recently the Tavistock Heritage Festival and the Tavistock Passion have been wonderful events which have drawn many people to the Town.
Please come and enjoy the evening with us. For catering purposes the evening is ticketed. You are welcome to apply for a ticket at The Parish Office, 5A Plymouth Road, Tavistock or telephone on 01822 616673. You will be welcome. Please do come.
With my love and prayers
