Join us for an interactive Passover Service on Zoom Wednesday 31 March 6.30pm

This year we are going to host a Passover Service on Zoom. This will be an interactive service where we learn about the Jewish tradition of the “Passover meal”

You will need to book so that we can provide you with a “takeaway bag” with instructions, the order of service and some of the items needed so that everyone can partake in the rituals.

We suggest that you have your meal prepared to have after the service and if anyone wishes to remain on zoom together you are very welcome to do so.

Traditionally the supper would have been roast lamb but you can prepare whatever you like. Please let us know if you would like to join us  – email [email protected] by Wednesday 24 March.

You can download the order of service here: Passover order of Service

Watch the service for Mothering Sunday 14 March in Milton church

From the photos you can see the work being carried out on the roof timbers and on the stonework. The contractors are confident the work should be completed by the end of March.

We have now received tenders for the work on the South Aisle roof, the most competitive is around £75k. This is very encouraging as it is less than initially expected. Also, we must not forget that there is more work to be done to the church with the improvements: heating, toilets, server, floor repairs etc. However, we will need to do a lot more fundraising. We are extremely grateful to those who have so generously given already.

If you are able to contribute something to this project please find attached a Gift Aid form.

Can you help?

We urgently need to fundraise for Shipton’s ongoing roof repair work. As you can see the oak has now arrived for the repairs!

We have set up a monthly draw which starts at just £36 a year for one number (12 x £3) though you can have multiple numbers if you like. There will be a prize each month of £100.

If you think you can support this new fundraising effort  download the application form for the Monthly Draw here.
