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
After a roller- coaster of a year, how wonderful it is to end it, with being able to freely worship without being in lockdown.
Truly God has been good to us in keeping us together as the Family of All Saints, in the early part of the year with our Zoom services, and lately in the service of “Time to Remember”, and the joy of celebrating 40+1 service with Bishop Cyril.
A very big thank-you must go to everyone who has cared for someone else, maybe by a visit or just a phone call to see if they are alright, and many unsung heroes who have gone the extra mile in caring for others, who will receive their reward in heaven.
We have to be so grateful that in All Saints, we have a loving caring congregation who look out for each other, and show love not only to each other but to the stranger on the doorstep.
It has been great to recently welcome new friends to the church, which is fantastic. But we need to Remember the message of Christmas that Jesus came to give life and hope to all people.
As we look forward to a new year, we need to prepare to take that message out to the community in mission. Perhaps we could use the period of rest over Christmas to prepare our selves for mission next year. On behalf of myself and the PCC, have a blessed Christmas.
Alan Buckley, Lay Minister
