thy kingdom come!
We are so excited about Thy Kingdom Come 2020! Between 21st May and 31st May 2020, millions of Christians worldwide will unite in praying that more people would come to know the amazing love of Christ.
Take a look at three of our most popular short films which we hope will encourage you in this New Year. Thy Kingdom Come is a worldwide prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray from Ascension to Pentecost. Since its launch by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York in 2016, Christians from 172 countries and 65 denominations have taken part in praying for friends and family to come to faith in Jesus Christ. These days have always been full of expectation and anticipation. As the Lord Jesus ascended, He promised the gift of the Holy Spirit to enable the disciples to be witnesses. As they waited for the promise to be fulfilled they devoted themselves constantly to prayer (Acts 1:14). So, the renewed call across the church is to set these days apart to pray, and each individual to pray for 5 people to come to know the love and peace of Jesus Christ.
Why not consider asking five of your friends or family to take part this year and sign up on our website to help us light up the world in prayer.
a calendar for 2021
We are planning a calendar for West Hill for 2021 and perhaps some greetings cards or notelets.
We will need lots of beautiful sights of our lovely village and the people who live here, both in photographs and paintings or drawings. Please start now with images of Summer and keep capturing lovely scenes throughout the year. For more information please contact Richard on 01404 812 370 or "Contact Us" Monday WAlking Club Dates
We decided to pause our Monday walks through the worst of the winter and restart again when the weather improved. In the present circumstances, we have decided not to restart for the time being. Look here for information in due course.

The Annual Church Meeting which usually takes places in April will obviously not now take place. The Bishop has signed an order to change the rules for this year and arrangements are being made for the APCM and Church Council elections to take place in September or October when, hopefully, life is back to normal.
ottery food bank
McColls in West Hill is now the drop off point in West Hill for the Ottery St Mary Food Bank. We can expect that calls on the Food Bank will rise, and probably quite steeply, as people strike hard times. If you are able to support the work of the Food Bank and would like to do so, please leave your gift in the crate at the shop.
What does the Food Bank need? All tinned, dry and packeted foodstuffs, UHT fruit juice and UHT milk would be very helpful. Are there any other collecting points? Yes, in McColls in Ottery St Mary. Thank you. "Marry in west hill" initiative
Members of the West Hill community are planning to encourage more local people to hold their weddings in the village. St. Michael’s Church and West Hill Village Hall are jointly promoting the advantages of a village wedding using the wonderful facilities available within the woodland village.
Reverend Mac Dick says “We have a beautiful and intimate Devon village church and a splendid and well equipped village hall just around the corner. Marrying in church has a special significance unlike a licensed venue elsewhere and vows given and received within a holy space have a resonance that will stay with the couple forever.” The village has just launched a new website www.marryinwesthill.weebly.com with all the information to help couples to see what’s available and also provide pointers to sources of help and support that will be needed on the big day. “Our modern village hall offers a large hall for the reception complete with a stunning indoor marquee which provides a magical environment for that special occasion” says Ian Heard, Chairman of Trustees. “We also have three smaller rooms and catering standard kitchen facilities so there is ample room for all sizes of wedding party.”
