AGOG help with Church Garden |
|
|
AGOG (A Gathering of Oving Gardeners), which disbanded in 2007, decided to donate £90 to fund improvements to the church garden. This amount was the residue left in their account after all had been settled. and will be used to enhance the garden which is under construction in the right hand rear corner of the Churchyard, near to the Garden of Remembrance. Sandra and Roger Baynham have worked very hard in preparing the large bed using compost, donated by John Pitt (Earth Cycle), and by purchasing and planting suitable shrubs. Our thanks go to Sandra and Roger and to AGOG for this welcome donation and effort. |

New Priest-in-Charge Appointed at St Andrew’s Church |
|
|
On Thursday evening 10th April, the new priest-in-charge for the Parishes of Tangmere and Oving, Father Ian Rogers, was licensed by the Bishop of Chichester. This was a great occasion with almost 200 people attending the service in St Andrew’s Church, Oving. A large number of members of the congregation from Father Ian’s previous church in Shepherds Bush were especially welcome. The service was followed by a reception in the Oving Jubilee Hall and was enjoyed by all. This was a very special day for the two villages which have been without a priest for nearly three years. The appointment of Father Ian is especially welcomed in Oving as St Andrew’s was threatened with closure two years ago but owing to the efforts of the congregation, parishioners and the Oving community in general, the church was saved from closure. |
