There are now books in Shipton church for you to buy, swap or just borrow. If you wish to add to the book collection you can drop any off at the Vicarage or Shipton Church – or phone Geoffrey for collection.

Do join us for this month’s Death Cafe.

What is it?

A group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session. All are welcome.

Death is inevitable so why not talk about it?

On Sunday at Messy Church we thought about how we serve one another and in doing so we serve Jesus himself. We serve others when we help them, when we help around the house and by looking after the environment. The activities included decoration biscuits, making masks, and playing games.

Join us at the next Messy Church on Sunday 16 February 4-6pm at Wychwood School.
