Gas & Electricity – new fixed contract for church and hall
As a PCC we have agreed a new fixed contract for our gas & electricity.
The additional total cost for this year will £7552 more than we are currently paying. This is a significant increase and we do not want this to have a
negative impact on the current ministry of All Saints Childwall.
Thank you so much to all of you that have given £50 towards the increased energy costs. We have received 45 gifts so far. Please prayerfully consider if you can join us and give an additional amount by the end of February 2024.
Any amount towards the increased cost of our energy bill will obviously be very welcome. If you are a tax payer we are able to claim the tax back which will increase the value of your gift. Please see the stewardship table at the back of church for further information.
Thank you – PCC of All Saints Childwall
Message from Shining Lights Halewood Babybank
BabyBank is moving into a different part of the building.
We are temporarily pausing donations.
We will only be taking items that have been specifically requested for the next few weeks.
PEW BAGS-Help needed.
The Pew Bags have become an important part of our ministry to the youngest members of our congregation. We do need help after each service to replenish them. Please speak to me if you can help Josephine after the 9.15am service
or Jessica and Katie after 11am. We also need a coordinator who will take responsibility for the upkeep of the Pew Bags. Is this something you can help with? Have a word with me or contact me on 07452565534 or email barbara.critchley24@gmail.com

This year’s Easter Egg Appeal is now open
Last year we collected an amazing 306 eggs which were donated to Liverpool Homeless Football Club.
They distributed them to children in temporary accommodation and domestic violence refuges.
This year we will continue this support as well as donating some Eggs to Shining Lights Halewood Babybank who also support families in need. Eggs can be left at the back of Church
Fit for Mission
Opportunity of two presentation evenings.
There will be a time of questions and answers.
These meetings are open to everyone.
BOOKWORMS
Bookworms is our Church bi-monthly reading group. We meet in the function room of the Childwall Abbey pub and we’re open to all, not just Church members.
It’s a great opportunity to discuss a book and listen to other people’s opinions.
One of the most commonly heard comments is:
I would never have read that book if I hadn’t come to Bookworms.
Our next meeting is on Monday 8th April at 7.30pm
We will be looking at ‘My Name is Why’ by Lemn Sissay. Lemn Sissay is a modern poet born in 1967 in Billinge Hospital. He was brought up in the care system in Wigan
and this book is his memoir up to the age of 17.
It’s 2 months off so plenty of time to get hold of a copy and read it.
There is no charge. Just come and enjoy a drink and a good discussion.
Your Church family needs You!
Please prayerfully consider whether you would be willing to stand as a Warden or Deputy Warden.
