January 2021
St Petrox and St Saviour's churches are open
for private prayer daily from approximately 10am to 5pm.
St George's in Dittisham is open Monday to Thursday from
10am to 3pm (closed on Friday and Saturday). Please observe
the social distancing and hygiene measures we have put in
place to keep you and others safe at this time. Face
coverings must be worn inside our buildings.
OUR WORSHIP
We
are continuing to offer limited public
worship during this difficult time. However in order
to reduce risk there will be one service on Sunday in
Dartmouth (at St Clement's Church) and one in Dittisham. There will be one
benefice midweek service in Dartmouth.
We also hope to continue to provide online reflections each week. Resources for
worship at home are available here and in St Saviour's
Church.

A very warm
welcome to the United Benefice of Dartmouth and Dittisham in the beautiful South
Hams area of Devon. Our mission is to be a growing, joy-filled, Christian
presence at the heart of our communities. We welcome both locals and
visitors of all ages to our services.
This
link
will
take you to a short video about the Benefice.
Through our four church
buildings, St Clement's, St George's, St Saviour's and St Petrox, we endeavour to
walk the journey of faith together, fed and nurtured by God's word
and sacraments. Worship is our first duty, and we try, and
hopefully make the worship here, both reverent and accessible.
The outward sign of the Church here is the four Grade One listed
buildings that we are fortunate to have for our worship:
