Calling All Parents. Grandparents, Uncles and Aunts, Sunday School Service for Our Children coming Sunday 14 June 2026

Thank You NacOtterycongregation for capturing the moment

🌟 A Sunday filled with double the blessings at Ottery Congregation!
​Today, we were incredibly fortunate to have our District Rector, Colin Esau, conduct our Divine Service. We were grounded in the beautiful word from Luke 10:20, a powerful reminder to carry with us into the week ahead. During the service, our Rector, Clinton Conlan, was also called up to assist, making the morning even more special.
​The blessings didn't stop there—we had the absolute joy of celebrating the 25th Wedding Anniversary of Priest Bantom and his wonderful wife, Cheryl! 🤍 Silver jubilee milestones like this fill the whole room with love.
​We wrapped up the beautiful morning with some wonderful fellowship together. It was truly a most blessed encounter from start to finish! ✨🙏
