All are welcome to join us for a pet blessing service on Saturday, 15th July, at 2 pm at All Saints’ Church, Cuddesdon.
If you fear your pet might be at risk, please keep it in a cage or safe container, or leave your pet at home and bring a photograph. Similarly, if you have a reactive dog or one who might eat smaller pets, please either keep it on a lead or leave it at home and bring a photograph. There should be sufficient space to give nervous pets some space. It would be helpful if you could let me know in advance if you wish to bring a horse, cow or more unusual animal that might not easily fit inside the church – but farmyard animals, reptiles, and ‘unusual’ pets are all most welcome.

Oasis at St Giles: A sacred space for spirituality and stillness.
Oasis is a half-hour, informal service with candles, music, a passage from scripture or a poem, and short periods of reflection. Each week has a different theme and is a wonderfully comforting environment to pause and reflect in the middle of a busy week. All are welcome whether regular church attenders or not. Oasis offers something quite different to formal services.

Everyone is welcome to drop by between 10 am and 12 noon to catch up with friends and meet new ones.
Cuddesdon Coffee Morning every second Tuesday
This very successful coffee morning held in the village hall in Cuddesdon every second Tuesday of the month. With book shop, raffle, coffee and good company.
