Today, Sunday 24 July, 11.00 am: The bellringers invite you to visit the tower to see the clock, bells and view from the top. Probably the last opportunity to see the structural damage to tower and the old bells before the restoration work commences. Please meet at the west end of church after the 9.45 service. Children under 14 must be accompanied, and please wear soft, flat shoes.

Plant Stall Thank you loyal suppliers, by 19 July we had made £121.85 for church funds. Rosemary Vere

DEC East African Appeal - There was a tremendous response to this Appeal and over £1000 was given by members of the All Saints' congregation to the retiring collections taken after each of the services last Sunday. Of the overall amount, £916 was gift aided - a record percentage - and this should raise an additional £229 towards the Appeal. I will send the DEC a cheque for £1250 towards the East African Appeal. I am sure that your generosity will be much appreciated by the DEC as it is by the pastoral team and PCC. God Bless you all – Barry Titchen

Churches Together Community BBQ last Saturday Many thanks to those who helped in any way with this event. Despite the appalling weather we were able to go ahead and ‘barbecue’ in the kitchen. Many people, some of whom had never been inside the church before, accepted the invitation to come in out of the rain for a burger or sausage. Without our new facilities we would have been forced to cancel.

Used postage stamps may be taken to The South Bucks Hospice shop in White Hart Street where they will be sent to their head office for recycling.

Second Hand Furniture If you would rather your unwanted but still useful furniture went to a person in desperate need or on a very low income rather than a charity shop, please contact High Wycombe Central Aid Society (West Richardson Street) 01494 443459.

Coming soon starting Monday 19 September in church
Five evenings over five weeks for the whole church to come together to think and pray for our vision for growing the church.
