We are a large and active congregation support a wide range of weekday prayer, study and action groups. Tea, coffee and cakes are available after the main Sunday Eucharist which is at 9:30am. Please join us and when you arrive make yourself known to the clergy or sidespersons. The ethos of the Church is one of traditional worship allied to a liberal and inclusive approach to both social issues and
theology. God has been worshipped on the site of the Church for well over 1000 years. It is an impressive building to which visitors from home and abroad come to see our nineteenth stained glass windows by William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones. The Churchyard is part of the “Living Churchyards” scheme. It supports a range of rare and unusual flora and fauna among which is the Yew Tree, said to be over 1000 years old.

It is the start of the liturgical year and it is a time for reflection and for renewal of hope. It is a season of expectation and preparation as the Church prepares to celebrate the coming of Christ.
We love welcoming children into the Church to teach them about the Christmas story.
Do join us at 9:30am tomorrow for our service. It is the feast of Christ the King which is the end of the liturgical year. It is a proclamation of Jesus Christs universal sovereignty.

"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute." - Proverbs 31:8
What do we have in place to make our church a safer place for everyone?

"Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them." - Deuteronomy 4:9
Do please be aware that currently there are scammers emailing people pretending to be clergy (do check senders email address).
The first message typically reads something like "[name], are you free at the moment?" or it may be more detailed, such as "Do you have a moment I have a request I need you to handle discreetly. I am currently busy... so no calls just reply to my email."
A reply then draws the recipient into a dialogue in which they are encouraged to buy vouchers, and ultimately send images of their serial and security numbers to the fraudster.
If you think you have received one of these messages please report it to the police via their non-emergency line 101. We are here to help as well, and you can contact us on our official email addresses found on the website. If in doubt you can always ask the Rector!
For further information see here:
It's doing the rounds again: church office holders including churchwardens, treasurers, archdeacons, clergy and diocesan staff, have received fraudulent messages by email or text impersonating colleagues, starting a conversation that ends asking the recipient to spend money typically on vouchers and...
Do please join us for our service tomorrow at 9:30am. All are welcome!
This Sunday we celebrate the 'feast of All Saints'. All Saints’ Day celebrates men and women in whose lives the Church as a whole has seen the grace of God powerfully at work. It is an opportunity to give thanks for that grace, and for the wonderful ends to which it shapes a human life; it is a time to be encouraged by the example of the saints and to recall that sanctity may grow in the ordinary circumstances, as well as the extraordinary crises, of human living.
Today is All Souls’ Day, a day when we commemorate all the faithful departed.
Whether someone you know has died recently or long ago, lighting a candle can often help us pause, pray and think of them for a few moments. If you can't get to a church for our 8pm service this evening, you can still light a candle at home, or online via the Church of England website.
Light a candle online to pray for yourself, for a loved one or for a situation.
Tomorrow we Commemorate the Faithful Departed during our service at 8pm. In this service we celebrate the local saints who have witnessed to Christ in this place. It allows us to remember with thanksgiving before God those whom we have known more directly: those who gave us life, or who nurtured us in faith.
An event taking place at the school in December.
Do please join us for our service tomorrow at 9:30am. All are welcome!

The Archbishop of Canterbury has released a brief statement this evening... "This is an appalling and devastating loss of innocent lives. The Ahli hospital is run by the Anglican church. I mourn with our brothers and sisters - please pray for them. I renew my appeal for civilians to be protected in this devastating war. May the Lord God have mercy."
Pray for Peace
Please take time today to pray for justice, reconciliation, peace and an end to hatred and war. Please pray for the Holy Land today.
All of us will have been deeply moved by the atrocities and the unfolding tragedy in Israel and Gaza. Jeremiah will speak for many of us as we reflect on the suffering on all sides of the conflict:
“O that my head were a spring of water and my eyes a fountain of tears so that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people”.
The Secretary General of the Anglican Communion, Bishop Anthony Poggo, has called on Anglicans around the world to join a global ecumenical day of prayer and fasting on Tuesday 17 October in response to the ongoing conflict in the Holy Land.
"We pray without ceasing for justice, reconciliation, peace, and an end to hatred and war. We also pray for God to change the hearts of all leaders and decision-makers in our countries and around the world. For we are in dire need or hearts that love, show mercy, and are willing to live in unity with others – hearts that respect human dignity and choose life rather than death." Archbishop Hosam Naoum
With love in Christ
The Rt Revd Dr Steven Croft, Bishop of Oxford
A prayer for the Holy Land. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God” (Matthew 5:9).
