As we near Artweeks my thoughts are turning especially to the many people who will be visiting Great Coxwell and its Church over these two weekends, but also to all those who will be visiting the Church and the Great Barn over the months ahead.  We are blessed with having two well-visited mediaeval buildings at each end of the village, and we will be making a special journey from the Great Barn to the Church on Rogation Sunday, May 10th, when there will be a Prayer Walk followed by a Family Communion service in church, as we seek God's blessing on the crops and the harvest, in a time-honoured farming festival that has recently been revived in the Badbury Group of Churches.

During Artweeks, there will be the popular plant sales and floral displays in the church, but this year there will be a new addition - a self-guided quiz and trail, which will reveal to visitors some of the lesser-known features of the church.

We are also developing links with Kelmscott Manor (where William Morris lived, and which is  open to the public).  William Morris has associations with our church and others in the Badbury Group, and if you visit  Kelmscott Manor you can see his brass-rubbing of our monumental brass to the Morys family.  We are exploring with Kelmscott the possibility of a local William Morris trail. 

Here are our regular and special services and events over the next two months. As you see, several services will be joint services with Coleshill.

May
Sunday 10th   Great Coxwell Rogation Prayer Walk and Family Communion joint service (begins at the Great Barn at 10.00 am).
Thursday 14th
  Ascension Day Holy Communion joint service at Coleshill at 7.30 pm.

Sunday 24th
  Pentecost Family Communion joint service at Coleshill at 10.30 am.
Saturday 30th   Parish Ramble: circular walk from Buscot to Eaton Hastings, begins at Buscot Church at 11.00 am.
Sunday 31st
  Trinity Sunday Communion service for the Badbury Group of Churches at Great Coxwell at 10.30 am.

June
Sunday  14th
  Holy Communion at 10.30 am.
Sunday 28th  Evening Prayer at 6.00 pm.

There is also the Vicarage Garden Party on Saturday July 4th, to which you are all invited, but I'll be saying more about July in the next issue of the Newsletter.

With all good wishes,

Your friend and vicar, David
