Comfort and Joy logo
From December 6th we will be restarting our Sunday Services, our first service will be the United Benefice service at Shipton at 11am. Whilst we will not be having our carol services all our other services will continue as usual including the Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve 11pm Shipton and services on Christmas Day. You are all warmly invited to join us for these services.
The Blue Christmas event will also still be held in the week leading up to December 20th. During this week our churches will be open for quiet reflection and an opportunity for you to remember family and friends who have passed away recently or who through Covid restriction will not be joining us for our Christmas celebrations.
At the same time the services will continue to be posted on line – Facebook facebook.com/WychwoodBenefice

Shipton church update 23 November, 2020

Lang the building specialists will be starting to work in the church on Monday 30th November. To begin with they are just doing the preparation work which should take until the beginning of January. Lang’s have indicated that they hope to complete the work in March 2021.

We hope the church will remain open for this first stage of the work and services will continue as planned.
