At the heart of the village, sharing the love of Christ.
Welcome to the Parish Churches of Kingham, Daylesford, and Churchill with Sarsden.
Welcome - One and All
Last week we enjoyed two more celebrations. After the baptisms on Trinity Sunday we finished our mini-series considering the gift of the Holy Spirit with a study of 1 Corinthians 12.
Also, on Thursday it was a joy to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Kingham Lunch Club. The Rector of Kingham at that time and his wife, Nigel and Delia Bennett were invited, together with founding members of the Lunch Club, and some of their daughters. Many thanks to the present committee and especially to Delphie for pulling together a lovely celebratory lunch.
This weekend we join in Chipping Norton Town Festival with a service in the Square at 11, followed by an open day at The Branch, in case you’ve not had a look round yet. Please also note Messy Church in the afternoon and a communion service at Daylesford later on.
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,
