Welcome to the Church of St Mary the Virgin Adderbury
At St Mary’s Church Adderbury we have been offering welcome, witness and worship for over 800 years. We welcome you to our website and look forward to greeting you in person when you come to visit. Vacancy Vicar of Adderbury and Milton Church Tower RestorationWe are delighted that the Heritage Lottery Fund has agreed to largely fund urgent work on the church tower. FOSMA continue to work hard to show our support as a community for this project with assistance from the grants which the PCC have in hand. The Tower project is almost at an end. Although we said goodbye to the cabins and to Rob at the end of May the eagle-eyed amongst you may have noticed his return and that scaffolding has been erected to both the inside and outside of Window 21, as well as wooden boards covering part of the actual window. The scaffolding is to enable work to both the gable end, which will include the re erecting of a metal cross found lying in the gutter whilst work was being carried out to the tower, and to Window 21 itself. Hopefully this work will be completed in the next three or four weeks.

A sonnet for Pentecost by Malcolm Guite - Our Mother tongue is Love
Today we feel the wind beneath our wings Today the hidden fountain flows and plays Today the church draws breath at last and sings As every flame becomes a Tongue of praise. This is the feast of fire, air, and water Poured out and breathed and kindled into earth. The earth herself awakens to her maker And is translated out of death to birth. The right words come today in their right order And every word spells freedom and release Today the gospel crosses every border All tongues are loosened by the Prince of Peace Today the lost are found in His translation. Whose mother-tongue is Love, in every nation. |
