On 8th September, John Hibbert, Church Warden at St Mary’s East Ilsley, will be jumping out of an aeroplane with the Red Devils to raise money for the Restoration and Reordering of St. Mary's Church, East Ilsley.
Like so many villages, East Ilsley is gradually losing the use of key buildings as they are redeveloped as private housing. The village needs a community room and St. Mary's will be ideal for that purpose once it has the basic facilities.
Please support John by sponsoring him via the link below and help raise vital funds.

All donations made through this website will be match funded by the Good Exchange and will go directly to the Restoration and Reordering of The Church. The parachute jump will be self-funded.
Thank you.
Pathways is the quarterly magazine distributed frrely by the Diocese of Oxford. Usually, there are copies for you to take from the Church, however, at this time it is not possible to offer this. So, for the first time ever, Pathways Summer 2020 is available as a free PDF download!
We hear a lot about the environment, but how much of it is from a Christian perspective? How does our faith affect our fears and hopes and shape our actions? How do we share our own views about appropriate responses to the climate emergency? This edition is crammed with useful resources and thought-provoking and personal reactions to this challenge that faces us all.
