Collect for Fourth Sunday of Easter

Risen Christ,
faithful shepherd of your Father’s sheep:
teach us to hear your voice
and to follow your command,
that all your people may be gathered into one flock,
to the glory of God the Father. Amen.

Thank you to all the clergy for prayers and kindness. Many thanks to the church family for the many flowers and cards and thank you, thank you to the ladies for all their kindness and help. God bless you all.

Christian Aid Week 2012. 13-19 May.

Christian Aid Week is coming soon! This year the  focus is ‘Let’s give the tools’-to help people in  poverty out of poverty, and features a community in rural Sierra Leone that with the help of Christian Aid is moving out of poverty. Thousands of churches will stand together this week to speak out for change, and we at All Saints are part of that movement.

But we need collectors to cover our 56 allocated roads in the house to house collection.

Would you be part of that witness by collecting in a road near you? Envelopes are available soon, to reserve yours please contact Malcolm Baines on 722 0727 or email baines.malcolm@gmail.com
