Your Chaplaincy The Garrison Station Who are we? Shrivenham Station and the Defence Academy have a team of two full-time military Chaplains, a Coordinator and a member of the local clergy who is a part-time Officiating Chaplain to the Military (OCM). Our initial point of contact is:- Ms Janet Holt, Chaplaincy Coordinator Civ Tel: 01793 785515 Mil Tel: 96161 5515 Email: jholt.serco@defenceacademy.mod.uk Where are we? The Chaplaincy Centre, containing a Chapel and the Chaplains’ offices, is located in Building 66 (the same building as the ‘Café and Chat’). The Chapel within the Chaplaincy is open between 0700-1900 hrs every day, and all those wishing to spend time in quiet prayer are welcome to visit the Chapel. St Alban’s Church, the Ecumenical Church of the Shrivenham Station, is located on the families quarters patch, opposite the Language Centre, at the junction of Folly Crescent and Ironside Drive. As well as being ordained ministers of Christian denominations, Chaplains are also initial points of contact for LIGHTHOUSE BOOKSHOP God’s Word for All Your Local Christian Bookshop for Bibles A wide range of Christian Books, CDs, DVDs, Cards and Gifts 40 High Street, Highworth, Wiltshire SN6 7AQ Tel/Fax: 01793 763337 (Seekers Light Trust charity reg 289860) Follow us on Facebook www.facebook.com/ lighthousebookshophighworth St Alban’s Church The World Faiths’ Prayer Room members of other faith communities. We can direct you to local places of worship and to the two World Faiths’ Prayer Rooms on site, the larger of which is located on Faringdon Road and the smaller in the JSCSC. What do we do? We offer pastoral care to all personnel and their families irrespective of status, nationality or religious belief. We work to support the pastoral, spiritual and moral needs of the whole community and enable the community to practice its various faiths. Therefore, the Chaplains will be seen around the Station in workplaces, community centres and crew rooms. They are, of course, happy to be invited to lectures, seminars and other events – especially celebrations and beer calls; excellent for everyone’s morale! Our visiting helps us to keep in touch with what is current around the Station and to make a unique contribution to the Shrivenham community. Shrivenham Station and the Defence Academy are very busy places full of challenges, both professional and personal, and there may be occasions when you feel the need simply to talk to someone about what this experience is like for you, away from those demands. Chaplains provide a Listening Ear where you can talk through a problem in a safe environment and comfortable surroundings. If we can’t help, we usually know someone who can. If you are thinking about marriage, baptism or confirmation please contact a member of the Chaplaincy Team who will be happy to help. Page 10 The Station
