Not just a church magazine, but a newsletter serving the whole community. It offers information about special events which will be happening at the church along with times of the different services and the groups that meet through the week. In addition, there are reports from the Parish Council about general village concerns and news from local groups. There’s a useful directory of local businesses and organizations. And there’s plenty of scope for you to be involved by sending in news items or suggestions for inclusion.
The Marston Times is published monthly and the January issue is distributed free to every home in the parish. Subsequent issues are distributed to all subscribers, or available at the back of church.
It includes not only star journalism about the local community, but also lively comment from the vicar and curate that gets people talking in The Red Lion and The Victoria Arms. For more information about the Marston Times, contact The Editor, Jan Lawrie on Oxford 01865 250862.
