THE LATEST INFORMATION FROM YOUR DEANERY TEAM - December 2025

December 2025

Welcome to our December mailing.

As all our churches across the Midsomer Norton Deanery prepare for the exciting and busy season of Advent and Christmas we have been asked to publicise the events below.

Looking ahead to the New Year there is to be a Licensing Service for Revd Guy Scott. Guy is to become Priest in Charge of East Mendip Trinity benefice in addition to remaining as Vicar of Midsomer Norton St John’s with Clandown. Bishop Michael will preside at the service in St Peter and St Paul Kilmersdon (BA3 5TA) on Tuesday 6th January at 7pm. All connected with the churches of the new benefice are warmly invited to attend.

Please distribute this newsletter to your PCCs and throughout the Deanery, as it’s a great  place to let others know about upcoming events and share photos of what’s been happening in our churches.

Synod reps, please send contributions – including good quality photos –  for the January newsletter and any updated contact details to me at msndeanery@gmail.com

Thank you.  Kate Mayo
