Harvest Festival - 25th September 2016

This Sunday at St Nicholas’ will be the Harvest Festival Family service. It will be a lovely service celebrating this time of year – taken by our new vicar, Rev. Richard Phillips. After the service there is a “bring and share” brunch outside  (weather looks fairly good for the weekend!).

If any of you coming are able to bring something for the brunch table that would be most appreciated – savoury or sweet dishes are all welcome! It is usually a lovely spread.

Also, at this service we are asking for any donations of dry or canned foods for the charity “Steppin’ Stones” in Oxford - http://www.theporch.org.uk/ . The charity provides support for the homeless and vulnerable. Any donations you can bring will be most appreciated and help to give someone a warm, healthy meal who might otherwise go without.

Morning Celebration - 11th September

Today in our Morning Celebration service we thought about how several of us had started new schools with new teachers, but all of us had a new teacher, in our new vicar Richard Phillips.  We also thought about how we are all part of the Body of Christ and as such, had talents that could help and support Richard in his new role.  We all made body parts to represent our talents.  As you can see several people felt that they were ears as they were good listeners and could help Richard by visiting people in the Benefice.  He also has several extra helping hands, a couple of feet (for running errands), eyes (to look out for people in need), a mouth (to help teach) and a big heart to care.

Historic Cycle Ride

We have done it!

17.5 miles, wet to the skin and slightly less perky than we were when we started!   We visited our list of 15 churches.

Thank you for all those who have kindly sponsored us already, it is a good encouragement to have so many behind us.

For those still want to support St Nicholas we have a JustGiving page and will be in church twice tomorrow to collect sponsorship.
