Calling all keen singers!

Churchish - Sunday 17th May
Join us for our cafe style church, a welcoming and relaxed space for all ages to come together and explore faith through worship, creativity, and cake. Whether you’re new to church or just looking for something a little different, you’ll be made very welcome!
This month we meet at the Unity Centre on 17th May at 3pm. Everyone is welcome - come for the cake, stay for the community!
Brunch and Play - 23rd May, 10am - 12pm at St Martin’s Rectory
I’m organising a late Spring ‘brunch and play’ for families from All Saints’ - and you’re all invited! My hope is that this will be a relaxed opportunity to spend a bit of time together outside of church while the kids run wild in the garden and adults drink coffee in the sun!
Message Rev Jenny for more details or to register your interest at curate@stamfordallsaints.org.uk
Rev Jenny’s Ordination Service There will be a sign-up sheet at the back of church for anyone who would like to attend Rev Jenny’s Ordination Service at Lincoln Cathedral on Saturday 27th June at 10:30am.
If you would like to come, please add your name and indicate whether you can offer a lift or need a lift, and we will coordinate transport. As the service begins at 10:30am, we will need to leave Stamford by 9:00am at the latest.
APCM Please note that the Annual Church Meeting will take place on Sunday 17th May after the sung Eucharist. This is an important meeting in the life of the church, please do come along. We need three new PCC members to help lead the church along with three Deanery Reps who represent All Saints’ at Deanery Synod. We also need to elect two churchwardens and appoint two deputy churchwardens. Please do pray about whether you would be interested in any of these roles and have a chat with Fr. Neil to understand them better.
If you are not currently on the electoral roll, please see Jean for a form.

Please get in touch with Fr Neil or Revd Jenny for more information, or drop us a line if you plan to come along.
Communion
If getting to the altar to receive communion is a problem, please speak to one of the wardens at the start of the service and you can receive communion in the pew.
When you receive Communion please do not dip the host into the cup. You may receive in one kind.
