Can you help with strimming?

We are fortunate in having a willing team of people who regularly mow the churchyard.  However there is a limit as to how close the mowers can get to gravestones and the church building. So we need someone who can devote some time to strimming around the gravestones etc. in the churchyard.  If you can help please contact either John De Val (293417) or Michael Keck (293357).

Defibrillator for the Giddings Appeal

Great & Little Gidding Community Public Access Defibrillator (CPAD) APPEAL

We as a Parish are currently trying to raise £2000 to purchase and site a Defibrillator and Cabinet.

Defibrillator and Cabinet

Cardiac Arrest or Heart Attack claims 150,000 – 200,000 lives each year in the United Kingdom. If a person’s heart has stopped the only thing that will get it working again is an electrical charge passed through the heart muscles. The first few minutes are the most vital and often an ambulance will be over five minutes away.

If you would like to help fund raise or donate towards this worthwhile equipment please contact;

Mary Jepp begins her new life in Kilmarnock

Mary Jepp begins her new life in Kilmarnock

The Induction of Revd Mary Jepp took place at Holy Trinity Church, Kilmarnock on Thursday 15th June. A number of people from the Benefice travelled north to attend.

The church was packed for the service taken by the Bishop of Glasgow & Galloway. Besides Mary’s parishioners and members of other churches, the Provost (Mayor to you and me) of Kilmarnock and the local MP attended. After the service, there was an amazing spread in the church hall attached to the church, and we ‘Sassenachs’ were made to feel very welcome. We were left in no doubt as to the warmth of a community in very different surroundings from ours, and feel Mary and Mike will be very happy in this new chapter of their lives.

The two pictures reflect two aspects of the evening. The first might be said to show the formal Mary, with the Bishop. The second shows the real Mary with two of her new parishioners.
