Update from Sarah
Sunday 6th May
10.30am, First Sunday Pet Service at Deddington Church. Come along with as many pets as you think you can cope with and join us as we give thanks for animals and all that they do for us! (You are also welcome to come even if you don't have a pet!)
Sunday 13th May
10.30am, Family Service with Baptism at Barford St Michael Church. Join us for this interactive, family friendly service.
Sunday 20th May
9.30am, 'Fourth Sunday Service' Eucharist followed by interactive Cafe Church at Deddington Church. Just to confuse you, our usual 'Fourth Sunday' Service has been moved to the third Sunday in May. It will however run as normal, beginning at 9.30am with a short Eucharist, followed at 10.15am by crafts, activities, discussions, music and of course, coffee and croissants. The theme this month will be Ascension and will almost definitely involve lots of helium balloons!
Sunday 27th May
9.00am, Sunday School at Hempton Church. Join us as we celebrate Pentecost with stories, crafts, games and lots of fun.
10.30am Family Service with Baptism at Barford St Michael Church. Come along as we celebrate Pentecost together.
Our weekly toddler and baby service Squeals and Wheels continues to meet every Thursday at 2pm in Deddington Church. Come along for bells, candles, holy smoke, stories, singing and dancing.
If you would like more information about any of the services above, please don't hesitate to contact me. We hope to see you some time over the next month.
With best wishes

A History of Christianity in 15 Objects
From September 2011 to September 2012, Deddington will be hosting a series of lectures entitled, ‘A History of Christianity in 15 Objects’: fifteen forty-minute talks over the course of year that, jumping on the bandwagon of the BBC and the British Museum, will explore the rich heritage of our faith through objects (rather than by my giving you lectures on dogma, ecumenical councils, papal encyclicals or the great theologians, you’ll be relieved to hear!).
So far, some wonderful speakers have agreed to come and speak to us (for free, I might add), including the bishops of Oxford and Gibraltar, the Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity and Regius Professor of Ecclesiastical History from Oxford, Professor James Dunn (probably Britain’s leading New Testament scholar) and several other leading scholars keen to convey their learning to a popular audience.
The talks will be available online, and it looks as though the series will promoted on the websites of both the Diocese of Oxford and the Church of England.
More information will be available in due course (see www.historyofchristianity.org.uk), but the series will begin on 5 September in Deddington at 7pm, with the Bishop of Oxford as our first speaker.
If you have any questions (or would even like to donate to the expenses fund!), do get in touch.
Deddington Fairtrade
Our vision is of a world in which justice and sustainable development are at the heart of trade structures and practices so that everyone, through their work, can maintain a decent and dignified livelihood and develop their full potential.
To achieve this vision, Fairtrade seeks to transform trading structures and practices in favour of the poor and disadvantaged. By facilitating trading partnerships based on equity and transparency, Fairtrade contributes to sustainable development for marginalised producers, workers and their communities. Through demonstration of alternatives to conventional trade and other forms of advocacy, the Fairtrade movement empowers citizens to campaign for an international trade system based on justice and fairness.

Deddington is also the U.K. home of Matabeleland Church Linens. For more information please click here.
We are live on Radio Horton
The first two Sunday services each month are carried live by Radio Horton. Stewart Green, station manager for Radio Horton expressed his delight that the patients in the hospital benefit from a live service from a local Church.
So if you know someone in the Horton and want to send them a message of goodwill, come along this Sunday for the 10:30 Sunday service.

Patrons of the Living are the Dean & Chapter of Windsor and the Bishop of Oxford jointly.
The Parish Church is also an important focal point for a variety of village activities such as choral and orchestral concerts, drama productions, music workshops, craft fairs and markets. Its amenities - including modern kitchen, disabled, ladies and gentlemen's toilets, a loop system for the hard of hearing - make it ideal for such purposes.
Refreshments are usually available at all such functions as well as after every 10.30am Sunday service.
