Villager and Website: Please remember that these vital areas of communication can only tell others what we tell them.
Steven Standering would welcome articles for The Villager (next edition September).
Les Thompson would be delighted to have dates, photos, news and suggestions for the All Saints Website.
See the
Contacts Page for contact details.

At the back of church are two books- one for any prayer requests to be included in our daily personal prayers and another to record YOUR favourite hymn. The hymn requests will help as the music team plan the hymns and music for the next few months.

English Heritage require that, having received financial assistance for our repair work, we keep the church open for a certain number of hours. Visitors should contact the priest in charge or a churchwarden to arrange a visit.

Regular Giving. There are leaflets at the back of church explaining where our giving goes. Parish Share for Parish Ministry. This explains how the money is allocated. Please take a leaflet. Remember our church building costs £800 per week to run. Please consider giving regularly via envelopes or standing order. Contact Peter Graham (738470) for details.


Regular Giving Envelopes

The Regular Giving Envelopes for 2010 are now available. If you do not yet use this method of giving please consider it as it helps provide the church with a REGULAR income as an envelope is provided for each Sunday of the year. If you don't yet have a set they are available from Peter Graham (738470) but Ruth or a churchwarden will always pass your name on. There are leaflets at the back of church explaining how the scheme works. Setting up a Standing Order is an even better way of giving regularly - again contact me, Peter Graham, for details.

If you only give occasionally-please use the white envelopes provided in the pews which will enable us to claim back the tax on that individual gift. If you pay tax please Gift Aid your money.

Speak to Ruth (731692) or to Peter Graham (738470), or see below.


Tea & Coffee Rota

Is there anyone who would be able to help with serving coffee at the end of the 10.00am service? Please speak to Jenny (738401) if you can help.
