Easter Ingredients Campaign

I’d like to congratulate whoever in Diocesan Church House conceived the idea of producing this year’s Easter Ingredients leaflet on Hot Cross Buns – it was a really interesting, eye-catching and well laid-out leaflet on good quality material. For many years Churches Together in North Oxford has organised an open-air service in the Summertown shopping area.  This year we took the opportunity to be a little more pro-active and ordered 200 of the leaflets, bought 200 (non-supermarket) Hot Cross Buns and during the open-air service offered them to those passing-by on either side of the Banbury Road. The outcome: initial bafflement bordering on nervousness at being offered something for nothing, great interest in the leaflet itself and, for some, led to them stopping to listen to the service conducted by Guy Wilkinson. So, well done and please don’t make it a one-off.
