Holy Saturday Vigil

for 2 hours
Ascot Heath All Saints
London Road Ascot, SL5 8DQ, United Kingdom

The Easter Vigil originally was a night of “story-telling” throughout Easter Saturday night. The story told was that, recorded in the Scriptures, of God saving his people (saving them from slavery in the exodus from Egypt and from oppression when they were exiled in Babylon). As we see ourselves as an ongoing part of this story, the Easter cross and resurrection comes to life for us: it is our own story of being saved.
Our Easter Vigil will be the telling of this story beginning at 7pm Holy Saturday with Old Testament readings, music and prayer.

Ascot Heath All Saints

All Saints' Church, Ascot is a friendly and welcoming place. People of all ages and backgrounds say what a warm welcome they received and now call All Saints their spiritual home.

Whether it is community activities in our church halls, the services, youth groups or study groups our care for the community continues throughout the week. We have a wide range of social activities which are open to all.

Our worship is varied and we offer a number of regular services during the week. On Sunday mornings we have a quiet communion service at 8.00am in All Saints' Church followed by a service with hymns at 9.00am in the Chapel of Saint Mary and St John in North Ascot. Then our main family service is at 10:30 in All Saints’ Church with Saints Alive, our children's Sunday school, running alongside in the church hall. Weekday services offer a mixture from small formal communion services to Mini All Saints.
