News

Monday lunchtime concerts - concerts will recommence on Mondays, starting on 16 April.

Prayer for All Saints - we will be meeting to pray for the church, especially for our mission and our life together during this time of vacancy. Saturday mornings, in the Quiet Garden at 10.00am. All welcome. Jackie.

Ringappeal: We still need to raise about £40,000 to pay for the restoration of the tower and the new bells. Our next fund raising event will be a sponsored handbell peal. This will involve five ringers, each with two bells, and will take place in the Quiet Garden (north chapel) after morning service on Sunday 6th May. The peal will start between 11.15 and 11.30 a.m. and will take about 2 hours and 40 minutes of continuous ringing to complete. The church will be open for spectators to listen and watch (from a distance). Please support us by visiting the church around lunchtime that day and by offering sponsorship. Thank you. Patricia Newton
