Bookworms
The next meeting of our Church reading group is on Monday 4th December at 7.30 pm in the
function room of the Childwall Abbey Pub. All are welcome. The book we will be looking at in December is Pulitzer prize winner, The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck. It is the poignant story of a Chinese peasant farmer and his family in old agrarian China. It talks of the importance and power of the land and raises many questions about values in life which are as pertinent today in our society as they were back then in China. We look forward to seeing many of you there!
Tearfund
Tearfund has been one of All Saints World Mission Partners for many years. Our prayerful and financial support has helped to transform the lives of church communities in many parts of the world where conflict and climate change have caused so many problems. Today Tearfund is already working with 25,000 churches through their Church and Community Transformation (CCT) training bringing changes that are both sustainable and empowering. 9 out of 10 of those who participate in this training built new or improved community assets such as schools, roads or access to water. These communities have also been shown how to diversify the crops that they have grown so lifting themselves out of poverty and improving their lives and the lives of their families.
Operation Christmas Child
It’s that time of year again when we are asking for your generosity with Operation Christmas Child.
There are shoeboxes available at the back of church with leaflets detailing what to pack. Alternatively use your own shoebox and wrap it with Christmas paper.

Rediscover the joy of the Bible for all your community!
Riding Lights take on the Bible, right across the UK
“So theologically clever and brilliant.” “Absolute joy and so funny.”
Riding Lights is delighted to be supported by Bible Society to bring you INSPIRED …The Word Into Action – a show that’s alive with insight and wonder. We want every audience member to leave with a renewed sense of the riches to be found in their Bible and a hunger to know more.
“I’m bowled over by Riding Lights’ ability to make plain the complex, with humour and powerful theatre. Be aware – attending this show may change your world!”
Luke Walton, Bible Society
“As with Open the Book, the stories are shared in a way that is fun, interactive and memorable. We are excited to support Inspired 2023” Kerry Evans, Open the Book, Bible Society
Hold onto your seats and enjoy vivid extracts exploding into action as the Word gets down to Earth and mixes it with human beings. There’s wit, wisdom, faith and folly, as well as… a remarkable Welsh gift to the world.
In classic Riding Lights style, with vitality, respect and some glorious humour, you can look forward to fabulous jewels from the big book, as well as less familiar gems from parts that perplex or inspire the church today.
Starting in the gorgeous gardens of Eden (an area of outstanding natural beauty) and ascending via any number of historic people, heritage sites, INSPIRED brings you blockbusting stories about men, women and God before finishing with an amazing wide-screen glimpse into the end of time.
Join Riding Lights for a whirlwind, Middle Eastern adventure through this No.1 best-selling library and out the other side into
