Chaplaincy – 1 year on

Unit 5 - Abbey Shopping Centre
Unit 5 in the Abbey Shopping Centre has been given over to Community Groups thanks to Scottish Widows and Heather from the Abingdon Partnership.
Abingdon Town Centre Chaplaincy
First group in there this week is the Abingdon Town Centre Chaplaincy. The chaplaincy was launched a year ago to the day . They aim to be a listening ear and friend to town centre businesses and maybe even to disappointed football fans.  We are out, completely outplayed by Germany.  I have known worse football days, but not that many.

The chaplaincy will be in the shop between 11.30am and 1.30pm until Saturday.

Finished off in Gold

Archway to the Church Yard
This archway leads from the world of East and West St Helen’s Streets into St Helen’s Church Yard.
Churchyard Cat
A churchyard cat seems as much a fixture as the old memorials on this warm May evening.
Churchyard Railings
The railings have been recently re-painted – black – and should now do for some time to come.
Gate by Brick Alley
The top of the gate by the Brick Alley Almshouses has even been finished off in gold.
