Announcement of our new vicar
We are very pleased to announce that the Revd. Liz Simpson has accepted the offer to become the new vicar of the Parish of Adderbury with Milton.
She is currently Rector of the West Buckingham Benefice and is looking forward to joining us.
Liz's licensing date is Thursday 12th September and at the installation both Bishop Colin and Archdeacon Judy will be present – more information to follow as it becomes known.
Liz enjoys, and has considerable experience of working with rural parishes so we welcome this experience and the gifts that she will bring in support of the challenges and opportunities we face as a parish.
We wish her a very warm welcome and hope that she will enjoy being part of our community and working with us as we move forward.
Watch out for further information about Liz and more details about her licencing service which will be taking place here at St Mary's on Thursday 12th September at 7.30pm.

Rogation Sunday 26th May 2019
Thanks to Cannon Christopher Hall for leading our services at St Mary's and St John's last Sunday on the theme of Rogation - praying for farmers and growers. The four offerings with prayers made after the first hymn at St Mary's were very special and very pertinent to the world today, as was Christopher's sermon. Thanks also to Seb for providing the gorgeous lamb who played a very full and active part in our services. We particularly enjoyed the 'bleat and greet' at St Mary's!

Adderbury School and Church Fete 8 June 2019
Despite the awful rain at the start of the day the sun came out and made this the usual great success it is in brining the whole village community together for fun and fund raising. A big thank you to all those who contributed items for the stalls, those who helped run the stalls and those who came along keen to spend. Special thanks go to Paul and Emily Ness for all their hard work in organising the church side of this event.
