Band of Believers
|
|
Monday, 25 August 2008 |
Band of Believers Church is growing, and we're now in desperate need of a guitarist on a regular basis. We need someone who can read music, play competently and confidently, and isn't afraid to play modern Christian music!
We'd need you for a couple of hours a week - one weekday evening, and Sunday morning (of course!).
We're happy to pay £10 per hour for your services and, most importantly, you do NOT need to be a practicing (or lapsed!) Christian - just a good musician!
Fancy making some pocket-money strumming away and having some fun?
If you're interested in finding out more, please phone Karrie for an informal chat (833344) or drop us an email:

(We're also looking for a pianist/keyboard player - if you know anyone, let us know!) |

St Martins Church
|
|
Saturday, 23 August 2008 |
 The Devon Historic Churches organisation has arranged the opportunity for a sponsored bike ride between our local churches on Saturday 13th September.
St Martins church, Exminster will be taking part, so if you are interested in joining in the fundraising event for St Martins with (or without) your children in tow, please email:
This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
ASAP who will give you your sponsorship form.
Wendy says: "Please let me know if you can help in any way as there are many people involved in having their churches open for us, providing refreshments at each stop and our own folk at St Martins have a rota going to welcome passers through. Thank you!"

 A gentle invader!
The now familiar sight and sound of the Collared Dove, (Latin name Streptopelia decaocto), around Exminster has not always been the case. At one time in was confined to southeastern Europe but during the last century expanded north and west across Europe, breeding in Britain for the first time in 1956. It is often found around human habitation on farms and in or near gardens.
This rather dainty dove (smaller than a woodpigeon) is coloured buff-pink with a somewhat darker back. It has a distinctive black half-collar on its nape from which it gets its name. The short legs are reddish and the bill is black. The iris is reddish brown which can be quite striking when seen in certain lights, but from a distance the eyes appear to be black.
It is does not migrate and so we can see them throughout the year especially where there are food supplies such as seeds or grain. The Balkan countries, where it originally spread from, have very cold winters away from the Adriatic coast and so it seems well able to cope with winters in more northern parts of Europe.
The song is a monotonous ‘coocoo, coo’ often repeated many times as anyone who has a pair of them living nearby will be able to confirm! All our photographs have been taken in Exminster. |
