Flu' update: The Archbishops of Canterbury and York have now recommended that the use of the Chalice is suspended during this phase of the Swine 'Flu pandemic. While communion in both kinds is the norm in the Church of England, when it is received in one kind the fullness of the Sacrament is received none the less. Please see the letter issued by Bishop Alan on 23rd July.

Villager and Website: Please remember that these vital areas of communication can only tell others what we tell them.
Steven Standering would welcome articles for The Villager (next edition September).
Les Thompson would be delighted to have dates, photos, news and suggestions for the All Saints Website.

At the back of church are two books- one for any prayer requests to be included in our daily personal prayers and another to record YOUR favourite hymn. The hymn requests will help as the music team plan the hymns and music for the next few months.

English Heritage require that, having received financial assistance for our repair work, we keep the church open for a certain number of hours. Visitors should contact the priest in charge or a churchwarden to arrange a visit.

Regular Giving. There are leaflets at the back of church explaining where our giving goes. Parish Share for Parish Ministry. This explains how the money is allocated. Please take a leaflet. Remember our church building costs £800 per week to run. Please consider giving regularly via envelopes or standing order. Contact Peter Graham (738470) for details.

The Regular Giving Envelopes for 2009 are now available. If you do not yet use this method of giving please consider it as it helps provide the church with a REGULAR income as an envelope is provided for each Sunday of the year. If you don't yet have a set they are available from Peter Graham (738470) but Ruth or a churchwarden will always pass your name on to me. There are leaflets at the back of church explaining how the scheme works. Setting up a Standing Order is an even better way of giving regularly - again contact me, Peter Graham, for details.

Please help us to make more of the money you give. If you give regularly please consider using the blue envelopes, (available from Peter Graham 738470). One is provided for each Sunday of the year. If you complete a gift aid form we can claim back the tax on your giving.

If you only give occasionally-please use the white envelopes provided in the pews which will enable us to claim back the tax on that individual gift. If you pay tax please Gift Aid your money.

Is there anyone who would be able to help with serving coffee at the end of the 10.00am service? Please speak to Jenny (738401) if you can help.
