Welcome to the Benefice of the Lavingtons, Cheverells & Easterton.
We are five church communities in the villages of:
Market Lavington, West Lavington, Great Cheverell, Little Cheverell & Easterton.
The Bishop of Ramsbury is delighted to announce that, subject to the usual processes, he has offered the post of Rector of The Benefice of the Lavingtons, Cheverells and Easterton, to the Revd Sam Park who has accepted the post. Please pray for Sam as she prepares for this new season of ministry. Further details of Sam’s arrival and licensing service will be shared once we have agreed these. My sincere and grateful thanks to all who took part in this successful process, and who have cared for the benefice during the vacancy.
Thanks be to God.
All Saints’, West Lavington, St. Barnabas, Easterton and St. Peter’s, Great Cheverell are open each day for private prayer and moments of peace and reflection in busy days.

Prayer during the Vacancy
Dear God, your love for us is never changing
You have welcomed each of us into the family of your Church;
in Jesus, you call us to be His Body in this place.
Send down your Holy Spirit upon us at this time of uncertainty and change, to fill us with vision,
renewed energy and faithfulness in prayer, that we may be true to our common Baptism,
and bring new life to our Benefice and our Parish communities.
Guide with your heavenly wisdom those appointed to discern and manage the way ahead
and help us to find a new Incumbent for this Benefice, that we may receive the priest you have prepared for your people: ready to serve with joy, to build us up in faith,
and lead us by example in loving obedience to your Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.
