Next Community lunch is Friday

22nd May

Through the warmer months of the year lunches will be held once a month usually on the fourth Friday in each month and will feature cold food but still a warm welcome!

No charge, but if you are able to give a small donation towards costs that would be greatly appreciated.

 

 Purple Praise this month

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.

We would welcome anyone who would like to attend a PCC to see what is going on.

All Saints’ next PCC meeting is on Tuesday 14th May 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.

(The PCC is responsible for looking after the finances and fabric of the church and working with the vicar to oversee and lead its work and mission.)

Thank you

Ascension Day

Open the Book would love one or two people to join the team – again they are particularly short of men!. All roles include working with children, so there is  a safer recruiting process and some online safeguarding training to do. Neither are onerous and we will guide you through.

Please speak to one of the open the book team if you are interested in finding out more.
