Piano Four Hand Recital - Sunday 19th May at 4 pm

12/5/2024

Aleksei and I are looking forward to performing this recital at St Giles. Do come if you can, some of the repertoire we are playing will include some old favourites. We would welcome donations, with some of it going towards the church and the upkeep of the piano.

We are doing the same programme at Buscot Park, a week later, but that venue is now sold out.

Best wishes,
Lynette

Next Stonevale Concert at St Giles

16/4/2024

Dear all

Please find the flyer of our next Stonevale Concert at St Giles. We are very lucky to host the prizewinners of the Musical Odyssey every year. This international course is held in Greece and this time, we will have Lithuanian soprano, Valerija Llijn and Romanian pianist Andra Bacila to perform a voice and piano recital for us. Email me to book seats, you are also of course welcome to just come on the day - although it is always good to reserve a seat, and helpful to know how many people to expect to make sure we have enough wine!

Best wishes,
Lynette

Revision of St Giles Electoral Roll

25/3/2024

The Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) for St Giles Church is fast approaching (Tuesday 30th April 2024 at 7pm in the Reading Room). In preparation of this, we need to revise our Church’s electoral roll so we now invite people to apply to be on that roll.

Why should you be on the St Giles’ electoral roll?

In the same way that being on the civic electoral roll allows you to vote in parliamentary and local elections and referenda, being on the St Giles Electoral Roll means that you can vote on Church matters and any relevant issues at the APCM. This includes the right to nominate people or stand for election to the Parochial Church Council (PCC).
The roll affects the maximum number of PCC lay members that we can have from our village. More people on the electoral roll brings a wider and varied representation of views and talents available to our local church and the wider Anglican church.

To qualify for the electoral roll

Any lay person is entitled to have their name entered on the Church’s roll if the person is:
(a) baptised
(b) aged 16 or over
(c) or can make one of the following declarations when applying for enrolment:

The person is a member of the Church of England or of a Church in communion with it and is resident in the parish.
The person is a member of the Church of England or of a Church in communion with it, is not resident in the parish but has habitually attended public worship in the parish during the preceding six months.
The person is a member in good standing of a Church which is not in communion with the Church of England but subscribes to the doctrine of the Holy Trinity and has habitually attended public worship in the parish during the preceding six months.

For an Electoral Roll Application Form please get in touch with

Sylvia Athawes (07923 563662) [email protected] or
the Vicar Maureen Turner (01367 240875),
or the Church Warden, Pat Cook

We will be having a service in the church at 10.30 am to celebrate our mothers. Please do come and join us. There will be posies for all the ladies (you don't have to be a mother, we all have or had one!) and coffee/tea and cake afterwards.

Musical weekend - 8/3 and 10/3

or reserve your seat by emailing me ([email protected]).

STONEVALE CONCERTS

Friday 8th March at 7 pm, Abingdon School's talented musicians will reach out to our community and give a concert in the church. Instruments including bassoon, clarinet, piano, cello, violin, trumpet and piano trio. Please come and support these youngsters, as they are hugely talented and you will really enjoy the playing and their lovely personalities.

And on Sunday, the 10th of March at 4 pm, Manus Noble (worldclass guitarist) will return and give us a concert, on not only the guitar, but a few more related instruments. Manus of course needs no introduction as he has been several times, and his concerts and personality on stage are breathtaking. This concert is part of a tour of the country that Manus will be undertaking, and we are very lucky to form part of this highly acclaimed tour.
