St James the Great Church 800th anniversary
Do come and join in the weekend of celebrations, which include:
Saturday 17th June 9am – 5pm Christening display – gowns, attire, gifts, photos
If you still have a special Christening outfit (it could be yours, or perhaps it was for your child), or other special item, would you like to lend it for display? We would also love to know a little about the Christening (also called Baptism) and perhaps you also have a photograph that could be displayed with the outfit/item? The Christening can have happened anywhere, of course – not only in Stonesfield!
Please get in touch – we would love to hear from you (by the end of May if possible): stonesfield@stonesfieldparishchurch.org
Sunday 18th June:
11am Service of celebration and thanksgiving: A very special time to join together in worship and thanks.
4pm Celebratory concert in the church: Jarisel, a group of 4 local musicians with an international reputation, present an exciting and exhilarating feast of folk music from the Scottish, Irish, French, Italian and Latin American traditions. They will play a variety of instruments (cello, accordion, keyboard, violin, Hardanger fiddle, bodhran) and voice. The concert is suitable for children age 7 upwards. Not to be missed!
