Originally tied in with the Carnival, the service is organised by members of the Baptist and Parish Church congregations. With leaders and musicians from both churches, we seek to give thanks to God for our community of Chudleigh, celebrate all that is good about our town, and pray for the needs of those around us, and the wider world.
Everyone is very welcome to join us in the Marquee, and refreshments will be available afterwards.
