On Friday (3rd) at 11 am there will be a brief ceremony in the Contemplation Garden when Revd Maureen will dedicate the cherry tree which was planted in March to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee. We hope that as many of the village as possible will join us to mark this special occasion. Some new benches which have been given in memory of loved ones will be dedicated too.

We have received some generous donations from villagers, including the wooden benches and various hedging and bushes required for this project. We are also delighted with the response for volunteers to help with the various practical tasks such as:
Lindsay is organising the volunteers and they meet for the first time this Saturday 26th March in the Garden at 9.30 am – 12.30. More volunteers are welcome to come along to this or at a future date. Please contact Lindsay if you would like to volunteer. The Committee are happy to receive further donations for the purchase of plants and other items for the garden, including: information boards and nest boxes for birds, bats and bees. Contact Pat if you wish to donate. We would like to thank everyone who has supported this development which will be of benefit to villagers and visitors alike for years to come.

It commemorates George Monk who died May 25th 1910. I am trying to contact any of his heirs or descendants before the work can proceed. If anyone from the village knows the whereabouts of any living family members, please ask them to contact me within the next four weeks.
Thank you, Reverend Maureen Turner, 01367 240875 I attach a pdf file showing the plans to develop and revitalise the Contemplation garden at St Giles Church. Details of committee members are included.
Thanks, Maureen The church can receive "free" money from these people.
The arrangements are simple. This is how it works. If you want to buy anything online, you go into easyfundraising.org.uk first, select your good cause, in this case St Giles Great Coxwell PCC, and then you can buy your goods or services. There is a vast range of organisations taking part in this system. The shops or services pay either a percentage of what you buy or a fixed sum to our cause on each occasion - it's as simple as that! You don't pay any more for what you are buying. I hope by advertising this to our villagers we will get some more money added to our cause - beyond the £10.30 seen below. Once we get to £15 or more, they pay us into our account. Click here for more information and to start. Best wishes, Mike Heathcoat There is a Christingle Family Service at St. Giles’ Church on Sunday 12th December at 10.30.
Help is needed in making the Christingles on Saturday 11th morning, in the Reading Room at 10.00am. Many thanks, Maureen A thank you from Jane to the many participants and helpers, including those who brought contributions to the door, donated raffle prizes and those who generously contributed in other ways last Saturday. It was a successful event making more than £500. Thank you.
