Please bear with us as we start our services in a new venue.

Peregrinations: Seeking a Full Fat Faith

We will be starting a new Spring study group on Wednesdays from the 21st of January, from 7.30-9pm at St Martin's Rectory (PE9 2LS). The sessions will incorporate Bible study, an introduction to the building blocks of Christian theology and open discussion about faith in everyday life. The group's name is inspired by the Peregrines - those "wanderers" - who nest in our belltower. Peregrination means "a long and meandering journey," which is a good way of describing the nature of faith: there is always more of God to experience and to seek. And it can often feel like wandering!

Peregrinations is for anyone who wants to dig deeper into the Christian faith, whether you are just curious, actively exploring becoming a Christian, or whether you have been on the Way for some time. We will alternate each week between a Bible study on the Gospel of Mark and a topical discussion about faith and theology, using artistic prompts like paintings and music to help us think outside the box. If you have suggestions for specific topics that you would like to explore, suggestions are welcome! 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.

All Saints’ Junior Choir – additional Supervisors wanted!

Would you like to support All Saints’ growing Junior Choir? 
Could you spare a few hours a month?

As our Junior Choir grows in popularity and numbers, we are looking to expand our team of Junior Choir Supervisors, who provide crucial safeguarding support to the Director of Music during rehearsals and services. Supervisors volunteer their time on a sign-up rota for the Junior Choir’s rehearsals (Fridays, 3:25-c.5:15pm) and for Sunday Services (usually 9:15-c.11:15, occasional afternoons or evenings for Evensong, Carol Services, etc.), so you can sign up to as many or as few commitments as you want or your diary allows!

Due to the nature of the role, and because All Saints’ is committed to keeping everyone safe and promoting a safer church for all, there is an application and training process for this role. This includes a DBS check and safeguarding training, which Benedict and Niamh can help anyone who is interested in becoming a supervisor to complete.

If you feel able to spare some time to support our Junior Choir choristers in their musical education and as they become a part of our church community, Benedict (dom@stamfordallsaints.org.uk) would be delighted to hear from you!

Open Morning at Church

On Saturday 14th February we are planning to open All Saints’ Church. Pop in between 10.00 and 12.00 to see the progress we’ve made.
