The Choir have a break now for the summer holidays but rehearsals will start again in September when new singers will be warmly welcome.

Children’s Choir Performance
Wednesday 6th July at 6:30pm
Our South Oxhey Children’s Choir will be performing at All Saints. Come along and help the children feel they have a good audience to perform to after all their hard work.
Visit to Sweden – Meeting to find our more
Wendesday 22nd July at 7:30pm
We are hoping to take a group to our link parish of Norrköping in Sweden – probably in November this year. We would be put up by local church members and therefore the cost would be primarily the airfare – which at the moment is about £40 return from Stansted airport.
If you think you would be interested in joining the group, come along to this meeting to find out more.
How can the God of Love Allow Suffering….Discuss
Thursday 30th July at 7:30pm
Recently, a young man shot and killed 9 people as they sat in a Bible study class in a church – resulting in immeasurable pain and suffering…why, how, did the God of love let this happen?
In April an earthquake in Nepal killed and injured thousands of people and destroyed their homes and lives – people who were already living in poverty…why, how, did the God of love let this happen?
God and suffering is one of the most difficult issues we have to face in our faith but it is not one that we can ignore.
If you would like to explore this subject and perhaps offer your thoughts then please come along and join us for a stimulating, and probably challenging, discussion about God and Suffering.
Ricky’s Ordination Weekend
We’ve had a great weekend celebrating our Curate Ricky Turner on his ordination as a priest.
On Saturday we had a sunny and warm (maybe a bit too hot!) afternoon at St Alban’s Abbey for the ordination service.
Then on Sunday morning Ricky lead our Holy Communion Service for the first time and we had a great sermon from our guest preacher Sue Allen, a good friend of Ricky. At the end of the service we had the customary present opening.
And finally we ended with a wonderful Bring and Share lunch to wrap up a wonderful weekend.
