Risk Assessments

It is now time to review your risk assessments with your teams and to see if they need updating. When you have done that please send through your updated risk assessments and date it to confirm when it was carried out to Elaine Lockwood.  ( A reminder that this is all part of the Safer Recruitment process).

Thank you

Fantastic  FAITHfest weekend starting on Thursday evening at the Fort’s Arms pub with inspiring talks, great company and food, Friday there was several events for children of different age group. Then Saturday afternoon tea, pamper and talks for over 70 people made for a lovely afternoon. Then finally we ended with our celebration service this morning. Lots of bacon butties and croissants served. Great music before and during the worship. A testimony complete with flour. A moving talk on ultimate love and much more.

Massive thanks again to all involved.

 

All Saints’ FAITHfest – A massive thank you.

A massive thank you to

the organisation team,

the visiting team,

our home and visiting musicians and

everyone who has supported this week in any way.

May the seeds sown bear fruit in many hearts and may the positive ripples flow on in the life of our parish as we bring ‘the love of God into the heart of the community’. 

START Course Thursdays – Missed one? You can still join!

If you are looking for answers then maybe it is time to make a START.

Thursday 7:30pm

At the back of All Saints’ church

There are six sessions each ‘Start’ session involves video clips, exercises, group discussion and time for reflection.

All welcome.

Church cleaning Saturday 22nd June

Next church cleaning session

 Saturday 22nd June  between 9:00 – 11:00am. 

All welcome to come along and help!

We are all members of the God’s church, so it would be lovely if you  could spend just half hour or so  to help make the church look nice and clean; you don’t have to stop the whole time. We generally have the same very few people turning up to help each time, it would be great to see some different faces, please come and help if you can – the more helpers we have the quicker it can be done!

The more the merrier!

Thank you your help will be greatly appreciated
