All Saints Church Childwall

Gentlemen, are you able to help?

There are two rotas that are supported by the men of the Church but due to recent retirements they are in need of a few more volunteers.

- Vestry hour runs from 7pm to 8pm on Tuesdays and requires someone to be present at the back of Church for security.

The frequency for this is one duty per quarter.

The Car Park is watched over by two people during the evening service from 6.15pm to 8.00pm.

This also currently requires one duty per quarter.

Are you available at either of these times and would you be willing to go on the rota? If so please could you contact me. Thank you to all those who protect our property, it is very much appreciated.

Would you donate any old, broken or unwanted pieces of gold to help develop the Church Centre?  The price of gold is currently high.  An old rolled gold necklace you never wear, a broken gold watch strap, the few gold links taken off to shorten a bracelet, an old broken ear-ring, bracelet or necklace may not be of much worth on their own.  As part of a collection they could raise a good sum of money.  Please hand any donations to Ann and Malcolm Colmer or Joyce and Jim Duffy or phone 722 4523 for someone to call and collect. You can also email:info@allsaintschildwall.org.uk

“All who were willing, men and women alike, came and brought gold jewellery of all kinds: brooches, ear-rings, rings and ornaments.  They all presented their gold as a wave offering to the Lord” (Exodus 35v22)

There will be no meeting in January as the Church Hall is not available. Please contact Hilary Morgan if you have any queries or email: crafty@allsaintschildwall.org.uk

24/02/2012

7:15 pm to 9:30 pm

During 2012 we will be holding a variety of events to help raise some money towards the cost of the redevelopment of the church hall into the new All Saints Centre. On Friday 24^th February we will be having an event in the church hall entitled ‘Escape from Hungary – a personal story’ which records the events of the Hungarian Uprising in 1956. Our speaker will be Dr Andrew Zsigmond, who was involved in the  uprising when a medical student in Hungary and subsequently escaped following its suppression.

He finished up in Liverpool where he completed his medical training and has worked and lived in the city ever since.

His talk will commence at 7.15pm and will be  followed by a Hungarian Goulash supper. After supper he will give a further short presentation on his involvement in the building of a new church in Transylvania, which was originally a part of Hungary, about 15 years ago and which is where he was born.

The evening will be of great interest to both those who can remember the uprising from newsreels at the time and also to students as the uprising now forms part of European history.

Tickets are limited and are priced at £8 each for adults (including supper and a drink) and £5 for  students aged 18+. No-one under the age of 18 please.

Tickets available from Naida Thompson, Graham Deacon or Peter Jennins or email info@allsaintschildwall.org.uk
