All Saints Vandalism

A big thank you to everyone who has helped in so many different ways following the vandalism to the Church roof. The North Side of the Church, including the Organ, was badly affected by rainwater rushing in through holes in the roof made by thieves stealing the copper. We are really sorry, but for the time being the North Side of the church is out of commission because of the damage to walls, flooring and pews. The vandalism has been reported to the police as well as to the local media <see video>

We will carry on as usual! We have contacted the insurers and are currently getting quotes for the repairs. It is feared the Organ might be a write off but we will know better once the specialists have taken a look. We are very grateful for your prayers for all those involved with the repair work.

 

New Feature - Online Audio Podcast

We can now digitally record the 10:30am services at All Saints Church. If you would like to hear the sermons please visit our new Audio Podcast page. Alternatively, CD recordings of the entire service are now available to borrow at the back of the church, please ask if you have difficulty in finding them.

Excommunicate! Excommunicate!

Fourth Sunday of each month at 10.30am

Another Contemporary Service of Worship (in addition to the All Age Worship on 2nd Sundays). The service is non-eucharistic, based upon the Service of the Word in Common Worship.

We use contemporary words, contemporary music and service leaders wear contemporary clothing! The Parochial Church Council has given approval to a six month trial for this service from January to June 2008 with a review towards the end.  Children of all ages are welcomed in the service and there will be a greater use of visual media (and less on paper and print).  The service is part of our regular worship provision and follows the same themes as explored during the other services at 10.30am.  Each month, the overall pattern remains the same: a typical 4 Sunday month: two Sundays is Holy Communion 1st and 3rd) and 2nd is non-eucharistic (2nd – All Age and 4th Sunday). We hope that this new service will be helpful in creating another worship framework for us all to express our praise and adoration to our Lord God.
