Urgent appeal! 

The heating and lighting project is gathering pace. We are enormously grateful to The National Lottery Heritage Fund who recently awarded us a grant of £219,635 which is almost two thirds of our expected project costs. We have now launched an urgent campaign to raise money locally to meet the shortfall. Details are set out in a leaflet which was circulated last Sunday and is available at the back of church. If you would like to view it on-line you can follow this link. https://mixam.co.uk/share/68ded3e76e6ed450e11b8af8

If you intend to donate please don’t delay, fill in the form in the leaflet and make your donation (preferably to the PCC account by internet banking). If you would like to sponsor something please talk to one of the team about your preferred items, plus there is a separate gift aid form which we would be most grateful if you could fill in.

We are keen that we cast our net as widely as possible so please do send this to anyone who you think has a connection to the church or who would be interested in becoming a member of the proposed Friends of All Saints’. More details on that to follow!           The Heating Team

Volunteers Needed – Café Church (Starting January!)

We’re excited to share that plans are underway for our new ‘Café Church’, launching in January, and taking place on the third Sunday of each month. This will be a relaxed, family/child-friendly service designed to welcome newcomers and help people explore faith in an informal, engaging way, over coffee and cake.

To make this vision a reality, we need volunteers to help with a variety of roles, from setting up tables and serving refreshments to welcoming guests, and helping with children’s activities.

If you’d like to get involved we’d love to hear from you! Please speak to Niamh Holman or email niamh.holman@stamfordallsaints.org.uk to find out more.

All Saints’ and Unity Lunch Club

We were very grateful for John Mitchell's home-grown pumpkin this week at the lunch club. The clever ladies in the kitchen produced a wonderful homemade pumpkin soup, this was followed by jacket potato and flapjack. 29 guests were fed and all engaged in conversation. A few of us were introduced to the game Flip-air, which was fun.

We will continue to put the red box out each Sunday, please pop a tin in, we will turn it into a much-appreciated meal.

Thank you,

Unity Lunch Club team.
