At 1:00pm following on from the community lunch on every fourth Friday in the month, we will have a short informal café style service and a brew.
All Saints’ Church has a parochial church council responsible for looking after the finances and fabric of the church and working with the vicar to oversee and lead its work and mission.
See – Agenda for PCC 16 10 2025
and – Minutes of PCC Meeting July 2025
We would welcome anyone who would like to attend a PCC to see what is going on.
All Saints’ next PCC meeting is on the Thursday 16th at 7:30pm in church.
Likewise if you have any issues or points you wish to have raised at a PCC meeting, please message Toby before hand so they can be added to the agenda, and we will try and address them at the next meeting.
Thank you
The PCC is seeking to nominate a suitable person to serve as a governor of All Saints’ School.
The school is a single academy trust which means that governors carry significant responsibility as directors in company law and trustees in charity law.
We seek governors with a range of experience and skills to offer who are committed to upholding the Christian ethos of the school.
Please speak to Revd. Toby or Linda Turner for more information
If you would like a supplementary form signing for admission to St. Christopher’s or another church school, please bring it to church on Friday 17th October between 6:00 – 6:45 pm. The vicar will add his reference and hand it into school.
If you are applying for All Saints’ or St James’ or another church primary school you return the form to the school and they forward it to Revd Toby. Please note that if you are applying to both All Saints’ and St. James’ you should complete a form for each school separately.
Thank you
Thank you to those who took part in the survey.
There was a clear majority who would like to continue doing brews after the service. Some however have really appreciated a welcoming drink on arrival – it has helped make us a more welcoming church.
The PCC has decided to have the best of both worlds. Drinks will be available for any who wish between 10:30 – 10:50am, served by a member of the sides person team.
Refreshments will also be available after the service, served by those on the coffee rota. This pattern will start in November.
It maybe that you would be able to help serving brews before or after the service as part of a rota. If so please speak to Linda or Andrew our wardens.
Thank you.
