At the heart of the village, sharing the love of Christ.
Welcome to the Parish Churches of Kingham, Daylesford, and Churchill with Sarsden.
Welcome Back
I hope you’ve been enjoying a lovely summer. The new school term starts next week and there’s a sense for me of establishing those routines once again. Our Sunday services continue as before with a traditional, quieter service at 9am and a more family-focussed service at 10.30, alternating betwen Kingham & Churchill. We particularly look forward to welcoming new members into the church family in September and October.
Also, in the next few weeks there are some special occasions coming up:
Saturday 6th Sep - Dog Service - do look on the calendar for details
Sunday 7th Sep, 4pm Messy Church
Harvest Celebrations: 27-28th Sep in Kingham, 4-5th Oct in Churchill
More to follow.
In the mean time, please pray for those starting new schools or jobs, or going to university, and for them all to receive a warm welcome there too.
I hope to see you soon, David.
Kingham Church - Roof Appeal
Firstly, THANK YOU to everyone who has already contributed to our appeal.
June 2025:
The church family of St Andrew’s want the church building to be more hospitable and functional and accessible to all. Before development work can begin there are necessary repairs to be made, especially to the roof. Most of the necessary repairs have been planned in detail – the expected cost is £480k. By the end of June 2025 we have raised a total of £264k (paid and pledged) and await the start-date of the first phase of roof repairs this summer. In the last month we are especially grateful for the award of £25k from the Garfield Weston foundation and the first meeting of a new fundraising team. The first news of future fundraising events will be publicised very soon, to start in early September. In the meantime, do look out for us at the Village Fete on 13th July!
You can donate through this link: https://www.stewardship.org.uk/pages/kinghamchurch,
