A letter from Rev Scott

Dear All Saints,

This letter has taken much longer to send than it was supposed to. Things have been a little chaotic since leaving Stamford, not least with planning to be ready for our next move to the new parish, although that has not been plain sailing, along with working hard on the studies.

I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you. Thank you for all your kindness, love, generosity, and the way you have supported us throughout our time with you all. It has been a real privilege to serve alongside you all and a real blessing to be a part of the All Saints family for the past three years. The way you have supported means more than words can express. You have given us a great foundation on which to look forward, and as I said in my final sermon, I believe in you all to keep pushing the boundaries and continue to reach out to those in need in the community.

It is sad to be leaving, but we do so with much fondness for you all. I am sure that Jenny will be a blessing, and I know that she is coming into a community, a family that will bless her and her family considerably while they are there.

There is not much more that I can say other than a heartfelt thank you for everything you have given to this church, to each other, and especially to us. May God continue to be fruitful in your lives and in the life of All Saints as you begin this next chapter in your journey.

God bless each and every one of you

Scott, Donna, and Theo.

Monthly Prayer Meeting

This prayer meeting takes place on the second Monday of the month at the Unity Centre at 15.00. Next meeting: Monday 14th July

Prayer Diary feedback

Please use one of the forms at the back of church to give us feedback on the Prayer Diary, how useful have you found it or suggest ways to improve. We are closing the feedback on Sunday 13th July and will then be working on the improvements.

Unity Garden

The Unity Garden needs some attention to it. The weeds need removing so it can be used for Holiday Bible Club. If you can spare an hour on Saturday 12th July, that would be brilliant. Coffee and cake will be served. We meet at 10. Come along and help! Fr. Neil

Little Saints

After setting up and running the Toddler Group three years ago Bob and Bev Mackrill are stepping back at the end of the school summer term in July. This group is now well established providing a warm welcome and friendly pastoral support for Mums, and the occasional Dad, and Carers with small children aged 0-4 years. This small community meets weekly in term time at the Unity Centre to offer small children the opportunity for free play in a variety of settings with good quality resources and equipment. Supported by Niamh and Gerry Armstrong this offers an essential outreach to our wider community.We now need a couple of committed volunteers who can take the baton from Bob and Bev to lead this group and take it forward from September assisted by Niamh and Gerry. If you are interested, please speak with Bob or Bev to gain a greater insight into the details of this role and come along on a Thursday morning between 10-11.30 to see the group in action.

Warm Space

We are outgrowing the name Warm Space: Although we provide a hot meal and a dessert, we offer so much more and have become a social hub where people can gather, feel welcome and be listened to and not be judged. (Well admitting you are a Cliff Richard fan was a bit too far! lots of shocked faces and a pause in conversation).

You will find the red box at the back of the Church on Sundays for donations; No Google maps required, the team are always very grateful whatever you may give. Examples, tinned tomatoes, gravy powder, onions tinned fruit, orange squash, summer fruit squash.

We would also welcome packs of cards or dominos that you may have and no longer use.

There is no obligation to do anything but if you would like to come and share a meal, you would be very welcome.

Warm Space Team.

Wood workers?

We are looking at repairs/replacements for certain elements in the bell tower. Mark Webb would like to hear from anyone who knows or has contacts for:

a supplier of suitable wood for making stays and other items for the bells
a person with woodworking machinery who could create the necessary shapes and sizes of stay

Traditionally, the wood has been ash and ideally that would be the safest but with a reducing supply of suitable ash we might need to consider alternatives

Please email the office - office@stamfordallsaints.org.uk
