Welcome to the Parish of Combe St. Nicholas. We are part of the united Benefice of St. Mary's, Chard, Whitestaunton, Wambrook and Combe St. Nicholas. The Vicar for the Benefice is the Rev. Susan Tucker with the Rev. Val Hoare as the Associate Vicar with responsibilty for the Cloverleaf parishes of Combe, Whitestaunton and Wambrook.

If you, or someone you know, is unable to go to Church because of illness or disability and would like to receive Holy Communion at home or would like to receive a visit from a member of the Pastoral Care Group, please contact the Rev. Val Hoare or the churchwardens.

 

 

 

Day to day management of the Church rests with the Associate Vicar, Churchwardens and the Parochial Church Council. The PCC has the responsibility of finding the funds to run the Church and also contribute towards the running of the Diocese.

The Parish Council provides financial assistance towards the cost of maintaining the churchyard.

Music for services is provided by volunteer organists. Services are supported by a mixed adult choir. The church bells are rung for some services and for weddings. There is an active group of bellringers.

The Parish is in the Diocese of Bath and Wells and the Archdeaconry of Taunton (www.bathandwells.org.uk) and the Rural Deanery of Crewkerne and Ilminster (www.crewkerne-ilminster-deanery.org)

The parishes produce a bi-monthly church magazine, Cloverleaf. This is delivered to homes in the three parishes. It is funded by advertisements that are placed on a yearly basis. Articles from individuals and organisations or enquiries about advertising should be sent to csnparishmag@btinternet.com.
