OUR VISION.  A place where hearts find peace and souls are nourished. To be a Christ-centred community that transforms lives through faith, love and service by empowering each person to grow in their relationship with God and make a positive impact on the world.

 

PRAYER FOR UNITY

Lord of all unity and diversity, gather All Saints and St. Michael’s into one heart and one purpose. Heal old divisions, steady our steps, and set your Spirit before us to guard the way. Lead us into our future, rooted in faith, rich in hope, and strengthened in love. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

ORGAN PIPE SPONSORSHIP

The opportunity to sponsor an organ pipe for £20 is currently still available. However, we will be closing this appeal on Easter Sunday (5th April), so please get your forms in to the Parish Office by then.   These are available on the table in the church.

 

CHURCHWARDEN & PCC VACANCIES

We are in real need of a churchwarden, to help spread the load with Dave Evans.  

We will also have some spaces available to come on to the PCC, at this year’s APCM.  This is an opportunity for you to help guide our parish through the coming year(s).  This is normally a 3-year term.

If you are interested in filling either of these roles, please speak to Fr Roland or contact the Parish Office.  Many thanks.
