Worship

All Saints consists of a caring, friendly group of believers who aim to ‘love God with all their heart, mind, soul and strength and to love their neighbours as themselves. We meet regularly for worship – on Sundays at 10am for our main service, and on Wednesdays at 10:30am for a traditional, Book of Common Prayer, service. (The Church is open for quiet prayer and meditation from 9:45 on Wednesdays before this service).

We also usually meet for midweek fellowship through a house group, however, midweek meetings remain suspended due to Covid.

As a Church we love Jesus and want others to have the opportunity of experiencing God’s love and care in their own lives.

Real People

In the real world

We believe that by working together with other churches, God’s Kingdom is more effectively seen in operation. All Saints is involved in and supports many joint church projects including Street Pastors, Schools Worker Trust, Food Bank, Soup Kitchen, Light for Life, Churches Together and The Ecumenical Prayer Time.

As a Church we also aim to look beyond ourselves and so contribute to helping mission projects overseas.

We love Jesus and want others to have the opportunity of experiencing God’s love and care in their own lives.

All Saints is also involved in a ‘Creating Community’ project. This aims to provide activities, mainly on the Church premises for local people, thus encouraging a closer community, working together and helping each other. These activities include a Toddler group, Coffee morning and Diners Club. There are also many one-off events such as Quiz nights, Art sessions and Poetry evenings run throughout the year, bringing the community together.

80% of the people living in All Saints Parish are of retirement age, so the Church aims to help the elderly through visiting and holding set services organised for those in Rest/Care homes.

Message from our Missional Leader – Alan Buckley

Dear friends
What a joy to be back in church to worship together as one, in one place, just like the early church. The early church loved to meet together for fellowship and share their faith. This is something we have been unable to do for the past year spasmodically.
Thankfully, Zoom has kept us together in perhaps an unfamiliar way, and we thank God for the technology and those who have been instrumental in church in providing the weekly links.
But now we are able to meet together as one in church, what is our vision for 2021 and beyond? Do we feel fired up with being able to meet again in church with the message of the resurrection? Hopefully, in July normal contact can be made with each other as restrictions are lifted. Have we a vision for new events, and ways we can make Jesus known to perhaps many hurting people in the parish?
Through the Cross we have victory in Jesus, and we are commanded to share the good news with others. May we, this Eastertide, share with the community what Jesus has done for us. He can also do this for others.
Have a happy and blessed Easter.
Alan Buckley, Lay Minister
