From the Wardens…
Another year in the life of All Saints has come to a close as we met on Wednesday at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting to celebrate the past year and look with confidence and excitement to the year ahead.
Most AGMs are deadly dull and oppressively formal, but our APCM was neither of these things with opportunities to worship, pray, hear from several members of the church family and staff on exciting activities and developments as well as briefly conducting the necessary formal business.
The written report provides snapshots of the many activities and groups that make All Saints such a thriving, lively and loving church. Do take one of these from the welcome area if you have not yet seen a copy. For those unable to attend the meeting, it can be watched on our YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5xFv5JrH98).
At the meeting, Julia Newton expertly guided us through the church finances giving thanks to all in the church family who give so generously to the life of the church and pointing out some cost pressures that need to be addressed later in the year. Mark reminded us of the centrality of love to living as a Christian and nature of love as so wonderfully expressed in Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 13. He encouraged us to maintain the reputation of All Saints as a loving church family and work together in love and partnership with other churches in the Deanery and beyond.
A number of church members graciously put themselves forward to join the PCC and Deanery Synod and were unanimously elected, while Sue Preston and Philip Smith have been elected as Deputy Wardens to work with, and hopefully in the years to come replace Alan and I when our terms of office come to an end. Thanks to all of them for giving of their time and skills.
Rob Coleman and Alan Storey, Church Wardens

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!
