Church Services

There is a church service every 3rd Sunday of the month at 3pm, in the Chapel at Blake Lodge.     Services are usually conducted in BSL and led jointly by the Chaplain and a Deaf church member. Voice-over can be usually be arranged on an informal basis if needed. The service style varies slightly from month to month, but we have Holy Communion on a regular basis.
     From time to time we meet up with the Deaf Christians from Exeter and Torquay, including our Roman Catholic friends, for special services such as Harvest and Palm Sunday.

      You will always receive a warm welcome – so please come along!
     If you would like more information, look on the posters on the Club notice board, contact the Chaplain or ask for Mr Arnold Rundle.

Devon Deaf Church and the Chaplaincy
The Chaplaincy among Deaf People is funded mainly by the Diocese of Exeter, which covers the whole of Devon, though it works closely with all Christian denominations make sure that the spiritual needs of all Deaf people are met appropriately.

The Revd Catherine Carlyon is the chaplain among Deaf People and can be contacted by SMS 07855 098 953 or email catherinecarlyon@btopenworld.com

There are three Deaf churches in Devon and all meet within their own Deaf Clubs. Torquay on the 1st Sunday , Exeter on the 2nd Sunday and Plymouth on the 3rd Sunday. The services all start at 3pm and last for about an hour with time for tea and a chat afterwards. The services are usually conducted in BSL only. In addition to these services there are interpreted services once a month at Paignton, Tiverton, Exeter and Plymouth. The Chaplaincy aims to provide interpreters for church services when required. If you would like to book interpreters for wedding, funeral, baptism services etc., please contact the Chaplain or  Mr Arnold Rundle, giving as much notice as possible!
