Story
Thank you for taking part in St George's Launton Quest and making a donation. We are so grateful to all those who created displays and took part by walking the quest. The money raised will be split equally between St Mary's Church and the Bicester Refugee Support Group and you can find more information about both below.
The password to unlock your certificate and the number of suns can also be found hidden in the last paragraph of this section.
St Mary’s Church has been at the centre of village life for over 800 years. Our services and activities are open to all and we engage with the wider community in many ways, from involvement with the school to running the Community Café in the Parish Hall and support for programmes such as the Food Bank. The beautiful church building is the oldest in the village and is Grade 1 listed with many generations of Launton people being baptised, married and buried here. The church family is responsible for the upkeep of the church and churchyard on behalf of the community, and is responsible for raising funds for this, as well as keeping the church running day-to-day. We are looking forward to developing and growing our services which offer both traditional worship (such as Holy Communion, Morning Prayer and Evensong) and family-oriented services with craft activities for children. You can find out more about St Mary’s on our Facebook page and details of services and events are in Launton Lines. We are looking forward to being back together and offering support to all in our community. Thank you in turn for your support in helping us do that.
Fewer of you will be aware of the Bicester Refugee Support Group. This was founded in 2015 at a time when many people were fleeing from war-torn countries and conflict to find a better life. One of the abiding images of the crisis was the small lifeless body of three-year old Alan Kurdi, wearing a red T-shirt and blue shorts, washed up on a Turkish beach. The group began from a desire to support families who had already suffered so much. The group work with Cherwell District Council to help find appropriate housing for Syrian families and provide friendship and language support to these families. Funds they are given help them provide important items for families such as household furniture and equipment such as computers for children and adults so they can access education during lockdown.
Congratulations, you've completed St George's Launton Quest! The 15 letter word in the previous sentence is your password, to unlock your certificate, which should be entered on the website (www.launton.org/quest) all in lowercase letters. There were forty suns to count on the quest.
