We voted yes at the Special General Meeting on using insurance proceeds to purchase a house. We have already been able to make an offer on a local property and will let you know the outcome.
Building updates
Access via 305 New Brighton Road has now reopened, with a temporary surface.
Please help keep everyone safe by being mindful that the property is changing; Please stay out of construction areas marked by construction fences, road cones, and other barriers; Drive slowly and carefully around site; Let church staff know if you ever spot something you feel is unsafe; and remind your children to stay away from the construction zone. Thanks!
Meals Meals Meals
We need more meals for our church freezer so that we can take some pressure off when people are sick, have a new baby, or are going through a tough time. Please bring a frozen meal or two to Church on Sunday if you can. If you are unable to cook, but could bring meal ingredients that is a great help too!

We are so grateful to all those who contribute financially to the life of the church. You are helping to ensure that All Saints can continue to thrive and grow for future generations.
If you would like to join those who give regularly, you can find all the details you’ll need on the Giving Page.
