Michael Gunn, a member of St Luke’s Church at Newton Poppleford, one of the first people to cash in his pension under the government’s reforms, has donated a sum of it to the church building repair fund.
Mr Gunn, 57, received his funds yesterday (April 7) under the new scheme allowing over 55s to cash in a defined-contribution pension fund. He will also pay for his daughter’s wedding and take his wife on a cruise.
Churchwarden Haylor Lass explained that, following a fire in 2011, the repair plans have been slow and that Mr Gunn’s donation will give them the “kick-start”...

The Diocese of Exeter has re-usable ‘hot bott’ cushions to loan out to parishes to help keep church goers warm this winter.
The Church of England in Devon is exploring a variety of new and efficient heating systems for church buildings.
Three quarters of the more than 600 churches in Devon are listed buildings, and many are very old and large and difficult to heat.
The cushion contains a chemically-triggered re-heatable pad which remains warm for up to 90 minutes – longer than the average church service – and can be held or sat on in a pew or seat.
Christmas is a great time for catching up with family and friends. Long, lazy meals are chances to tell old stories, relax and laugh.
For some, of course, the joy of Christmas is muted by sadness or loneliness. When the front door is shut, what surfaces for some of us are only unhappy memories.

The Ottery St Mary Cemetery on Higher Ridgeway will now be protected from flower munching wild rabbits thanks to a £1,750 donation from local house builder Redrow.
Today Keith Miller, regional director of Redrow West Country, presented the Mayor of Ottery St Mary, Councillor Glyn Dobson with a cheque at Redrow's Otter Grange development, which is located next to the cemetery.
The funding will be used towards rabbit proof fencing to stop wild rabbits entering the grounds and causing damage to the grass and flowers that have been carefully planted by local residents.
