The Church building will be periodically ventilated during each service. Singing remains permissible. Everyone who attends St. Giles should be fully vaccinated if possible and free of Covid symptoms.  This Notice will be subject to any future changes issued by gov.uk Safe Zone If the main body of the Church is busy then the gallery will be put aside for six people.   If you would like to use this Safe Zone area please contact the Parish Secretary n advance of any service or event.

Giving at St. Giles Every three years we hold a Stewardship Campaign.  This is a time in our collective life when we ask everyone who attends and loves St. Giles Church to either make a modest increase in the amount that they give to our Church, or to think about creating a monthly Standing Order. Many people have now found that the best and most efficient way to give to St. Giles is through a monthly Standing Order that is also Gift Aided.  This means that for every £1 that a person gives over 30p is returned to us via HMRC.  Read Mores

Fete and Garden Party

A huge thank you to Carol and the team for organising and helping with such an amazing Parish Fete.  I am delighted to say that the final sum raised for St. Giles was well over  £5000. 

Apart from the fund raising the event was a wonderful expression of our shared life both at St. Giles and in Farnborough.  Judging from many comments it was very much enjoyed by all those who attended. 

I was particularly grateful to the May Queen party, the Sevenoaks band, the Rock Choir, the Punch and Judy show and Matthew, our violinist, for the programme of entertainment which lifted all our Spirits after the difficulties of the pandemic.
