NEWSFLASH 5th February 2012.
Sunday service times up to April 29th are available in "Services and Events". We look forward to Mothering Sunday (March 18th) and Easter Sunday (April 8th)
CHANGE of CLUSTER SERVICE PATTERN. Cluster services (with our sister churches of All Saints, Cuddesdon and St Giles, Horspath) are now monthly. The next cluster services will be on March 4th at Horspath and April 15th at Cuddesdon, all at 10 am.
EASTER arrangments in April. Our normal service pattern will vary in April, as it does around Easter. The Family Service will be on Easter Sunday, April 8th, and the Cluster Service on April 15th.
St Mary’s Church, Garsington, stands on a raised hilltop site commanding fine views across the Thames Valley towards the Wittenham Clumps.
The wedding scene in "Amazing Grace" was filmed at this church.
The present church has weekly services with regular attendance averaging 30 people. Many more take part in activities such as bell ringing and flower arranging, while the biannual Fête (last was in September 2010) brings a large number of people working together. Our congregation contains a good spread of ages, ranging from people newly moved in to others who have lived in Garsington for many years. A monthly family communion service is especially oriented towards children and younger families, and the church has strong links with the local church school. Visitors often remark about the friendliness of St Mary’s.
St Mary’s completed in 2007 a buildings restoration project costing over £200,000, and in autumn 2010 the interior was redecorated using funds bequeathed by a villager.
Our Sunday morning service is at 9:30 am and is normally a Parish or Family Communion. The Family Communion is normally on the third Sunday of the month but this is subject to variation around Christmas and Easter. On the first Sunday in the month, we meet for a joint service at Garsington or one of our cluster partner churches of Cuddesdon and Horspath, so you should check locally which one is hosting the service.
