RIDE AND STRIDE 2021
The annual ‘Ride and Stride’, in aid of the Oxfordshire Historic Churches
Trust, will take place on Saturday 11 September. Participants either walk or
cycle around the Diocese visiting churches. We have some volunteers who
have kindly agreed to help but if you would like to help, please let us know.
Volunteers welcome Riders and Striders and sign off their sponsorship forms
on the day. If you are able to help, please speak to one of the clergy.
SERVING TEAM
From the beginning of September, we hope to be able to field a full serving
team. We are very grateful to those who have assisted in the course of the
last 18 months, but we would like to expand the team so that we can have
three servers at each 10.30am service. If you are interested in serving, or
would like to find out more about what is involved, please have a word with
one of the clergy.
COMMUNITY EMERGENCY FOOD BANK (CEF) CEF, based at St Francis Church, Cowley, provides nutritionally balanced food parcels for individuals and families in temporary crisis or hardship. If you would like to help, please put your donations of non-perishable foods into the CEF box which can be found in the Adam de Brome Chapel every Sunday. Currently there is a particular need for tinned vegetables, fruit, meat and fish, longlife milk and juices, and practical toiletries - but all donations welcome.
