It has been many years since St Giles Church has held a flower festival. We did it again in 2009 because:-

it is a fantastic mission: reaching out to those in Killamarsh, within Derby Diocese and also our brothers and sisters in South Yorkshire.

in these times of recession and credit crunch where morale could potentially be low we, as a church, are offering to all, the chance to engage with the beauty of God's creation through this special festival.

Flowers were carefully and skillfully arranged by a collaboration of flower arrangers from Ashover, Clowne and Killamarsh.

it was a wonderful way for all members of the church to come together to help with preparing and serving refreshments, welcoming visitors and being ambassadors to our Christian faith.

Why did we choose the theme "The Life of Christ"?

The theme demonstrates our commitment to our mission statement

To be Christ in Church and Community.

by offering to all a beautiful floral depiction of the birth, life ministry, death, resurrection and glorious ascension of Jesus Christ and His relevance today.
