After the flood, the church is open again! However, there are many months of work still to be done on the church building; we have ordered a new organ, but it will need a plinth to raise it above future flood water; we will also need a new heating boiler, new sound system and speakers, some major work on the electrics, and the Georgian tiles in the sanctuary area require repair and restoration. Sadly, our church hall remains closed as work has not yet begun on the major restoration work. That said, we are very pleased that we have been able to resume our 11am Sunday services as follows: 16th June Holy Communion Revd. Harold Dobbin 23rd June Iona Prayer Diana Marshall, Reader 30th June Morning Prayer Diana Marshall, Reader 7th July Celtic Prayer Diana Marshall, Reader 14th July Holy Communion Revd. Jim Gray 21st July Holy Communion Ven. Andie Brown 28th July Iona Prayer Diana Marshall, Reader All are welcome, so please do come and join us!

Christmas Carol Concert 16th December 2022All Saints Church provided a stunning setting for the Carol Concert. Greeted by pealing church bells, twinkling lights and a beautifully decorated church bathed in flickering candlelight, a 100+ congregation packed the church. Shirland Welfare Brass Band created a magical Christmas atmosphere with a mix of traditional Carol’s, instrumental solos and more popular music. Our thanks to Lynden Cooper (MD of Shirland Welfare Brass Band) for his conducting and humorous encouragement which soon had everyone taking part. The interval saw the congregation enjoying a glass of wine and a mince pie whilst the raffle was drawn. The hugely successful evening received many favourable comments from an appreciative audience, with several requests for the event to be repeated next year. Thanks to Dennis Holmes for his suggestion to hold the Christmas Carol Concert with our local brass band and for organising it so well. Thank you to everyone who attended and made the evening such a special community event. It certainly felt a lot like Christmas.
