From the Mission Support Group…
We were thrilled to have Tim and Miranda with us for the mission weekend. The retreat day at Eyam used bread-making as a metaphor to explore everyday mission, inviting us all to reflect on how God works through ordinary life — friendships, work, neighbourhoods and community — rather than just through special programmes or overseas ministry. Across four sessions moving from yeast to kneading, rising and finally broken bread, the day weaved together creative reflection, imaginative prayer, silence and conversation, culminating in communion and commissioning. We considered how God is already calling us in the places where we are rooted and we reflected on the new tastes and flavours that develop through the steady work of God in our lives, often working in unseen ways like yeast.
On Sunday we heard more about the specific call of God in our lives. If you have any specific mission related initiative (short or long term) that you’d like to explore further with a member of the mission support group, please do talk to one of us – as well as myself, they are Roland Slade, Nic Medd, Kate Gerrish, Emily Jackson, Elaine Howarth and Geoff Atkinson. We love to support more home grown callings alongside our partnering with the likes of Tim and Miranda.
The connection with Tim and Miranda has developed and strengthened over the twelve years that they have been involved with us. We continue to explore ways of deepening this relationship. One obvious way is the contribute towards the development of the Place of Springs – see the notice about Mission Sunday: Financial Giving.

Church News
Roland Slade
We are delighted to share news of our Risen Lord’s call upon Roland’s life and ministry, which of course is shared by Caroline and Zoe. He is to be the new Vicar and Oversight Minister of St Timothy’s and The Vine in Sheffield. Do share in the family’s joy and the expectation that a parish that has been praying for a new Vicar has now found one in Roland.
Baptism and Confirmation
All Saints will be hosting our annual service of baptism by full immersion and confirmation on Sunday 28th June at 6pm. This service is always a highlight in our church calendar, please come along and support those who are publicly confirming their faith.
Our August Service Plans
During August, there will be no 8am Sunday Service but each week all are welcome to a liturgical and quieter 9.15am with Holy Communion.
The 9.15 will have hymns accompanied by organ, lectionary readings and a sermon. We are delighted to welcome occasional and visiting preachers including Margaret Wooding Jones, Michael Gordon and Emily McDonald from the cathedral.
11am will be Sacred Spaces. We shall be meeting at 11 o’clock outside in the churchyard. There will be coffee and cakes, meditations, activities and singing, enabling us to encounter God in and with creation.
At 6pm evening worship, we will be looking at some of those really short books at the end of the New Testament. Ever known what 3 John or Philemon are about? Come along to find out!
Mission Sunday: Financial Giving
If you were not able to make your mission Sunday donation on the day, it is still possible to donate online over the next 2 weeks. The donation will be used to fund further developments at Place of Springs (e.g. a chapel roof, septic tank, further accommodation).
We will not be able to claim gift aid on your donation on this occasion as the property is not set up as a UK charity. For further details of Tim and Miranda’s work at Place of Springs – check out their website below!
Christian Aid Week 2026
The total raised this year from the Christian Aid Week envelopes was £2,229.52. A big ‘THANK YOU’ to all who gave and energy delivering (and in some cases, collecting) envelopes and to all who donated. It will make a difference to the lives of many around the world.

TASTE
Praise for: God’s faithfulness in keeping all staff safe, especially those in Nigeria who travel to many remote and often flash-point areas to carry out projects. The ongoing impact of the two Evangelists in communities across Nigeria, including the 20 new converts in a Fulani community, in Plateau state. The £1,000 and £500 donations from Trinity Grace Church, Ramsbottom, and The Quilting Bee, Sheffield, respectively. The successful water and agricultural project at Redeem People’s Academy, Jos, Plateau State.
Pray that: All staff will continue to honour God in everything they do, both in the UK and in Nigeria, and that they would be kept safe as they travel across Nigeria. The communities which are under attack would be given the protection and the help that they need to return to their villages to rebuild their shattered lives. All kidnap victims, including 143 children, kidnapped in May, would be released, and that the families of those murdered in captivity would know God’s comfort and strength.
OAKES HOLIDAY CENTRE
Camps: Praise God that we have 5 camps this month. Pray for stamina and excitement for the team as we share the gospel. Pray for preparations for the summer camps.
Workteam 29th June – 4th July: Pray for a productive annual work week with lots of volunteers. Pray for Tom Clayton (Estate Manager) as he plans and oversees the work. Praise God for the fellowship this week brings each year.
Next year’s team, 2026-27: The harvest is plentiful... Praise God for the applications received so far for next year’s team, but we still need more. In particular, pray for ministry assistant applications. This is for post-grads who want to share the gospel and gain management experience. They take on key responsibilities.
Long term team positions: Praise God that Tom is our new Assistant Catering manager. There are gaps in our long term team. Pray for people to take on: Camp Administration, Housekeeping and Hospitality Manager, and Assistant Estate Manager.
“The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field.” - Matthew 9:37-38
