Serving the Community of Southport

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
Once again we find ourselves in a lockdown, which seems worse in
the middle of winter than the first lockdowns in spring, summer and
autumn, together with further instructions.
Someone said to me the other day, we must be in the end times as
spoken of in the bible, with pestilence, diseases, earthquakes, fires,
floods, global warming etc. These happenings have always been with
us, but in the past 50 years, we have seen an escalation of these
phenomena. The pestilence of Covid-19 worldwide has brought home
to us all the fragility of life, to which none of us can be exempt, as we
see in our own country the devastating effect of the disease on families
around us.
Our frontispiece photo reminds us that in the storms of life, when life
around us may seem frail, our hope and security is in Jesus. The
disciples when in the storm on Lake Galilee, cried out to Jesus to save
them. We too in the circumstances we find ourselves in, need to look to
Jesus to see us through the storm. Jesus, when we ask for him to be
near us, NEVER disappoints. He hears our cry and gives us his peace.
Blessings and stay safe,
Alan Buckley, Lay Minister
