Four Studies and a Party update - The Pastoral Team have been studying the feedback from the course David and Debbie ran in the autumn. One outcome has come as a result of several comments about seeking increased confidence in talking about our faith. Debbie is going to run a course called 'Lost For Words' during Lent. More details to follow. Other outcomes will unfold in the months to come.

RINGAPPEAL: Back in November, our young ringer, Samantha Martin, rang a quarter peal of Stedman Triples which was sponsored in aid of
Ringappeal. With support from family, friends and many of All Saints'
congregation, Samantha raised £1077.70. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this.

Fairground Organ collection Thank you again to the Organ Sponsors, Bell Ringers, Collectors & Avoiders. Between us we raised a net total of £431.86 for All Saints’, including Gift Aid.

Rope - many thanks to those who contributed to the Rope Parish Christmas Card. A total of £77.91 was donated for this worthy charity.

Christmas Collections & Gift Aid - many thanks to all who gave so
generously to the collections taken on Christmas Eve and Day. A total of £1,123.44 was given in cash collections of which £623.60 was gift aided thereby generating an additional £155.90 of income. Had all the money collected been gift aided then the total tax refund would have been £280.86.

Saturday 11 February 2012 — Sammy Martin is organising a Classical
music concert in All Saints’ in aid of Ringappeal, 7.30 to 10 pm (Tower bells 7 – 7.30 pm). The programme will include Change Ringing on Handbells, Chiltern Concert Band conducted by Chris I’Anson, Organ recital hosted by Liam Cartwright, Cello – Denise Lewin and Teachers from Wycombe Abbey School playing Sax, Piano and Organ.

In April, this area will be switching over to all digital TV broadcasts.
The old 'analog' broadcasts will be switched off. If you have not already switched over, now is the time to start thinking about it. Some people will need help with the switchover, and we are trying to make sure that nobody, especially the vulnerable, gets left behind.The BBC has a help scheme to assist everyone in making the switch.
Do you have any questions? Would you like some help? Do you know someone else who may need help from this scheme? Contact Don Page for (free) information. Tel: 01494 446467.
