Sundays after Trinity are known as ‘Ordinary time’. Other seasons are preparing for and responding to Christmas and Easter, the highlights of the Church’s year. ‘Ordinary time’ compared to the celebrations of the major festivals reminds us of the ‘ordinary’ times in our lives and those parts that can seem routine. This is a season of steady growth where we are asked to look for God not just in those remarkable moments but also ones that are ordinary. If we look close enough we can find God in them. Our Church hangings and vestments in this season are green – the colour symbolising growth.
Thank you very much for those who supported our recent Church fete and as we move towards the summer holidays may God be with you in a time of rest and refreshment as well. Safe travelling to those of you going away.
Please do browse our website for any areas of interest.
As we continue with the work at All Saints Church we are delighted to announce that the parish has just been awarded a lottery grant from the Big Lottery Fund to install a new boiler at All Saints Church which is due to be installed this spring
Hopefully everyone will have seen details on the new arrangements for Sunday Services. In summary the major elements of the new arrangement are that the Communion Service will rotate so that this will be the 9.00am at All Saints one week (Currently St Mary's because of the building work) and at the Church Centre the following week. On the alternate weeks when there is not a Communion Service, there will be a Family Service or Morning Worship. There will also be a Communion Service once a month at St Mary's. Finally, the Evening Service at St Mary's will move from 6pm to 5pm
