Rectors Tea

This year we will have one Rectors Tea so we can all be together. Fr. Neil is grateful that Viv and John Mitchell have agreed to host it so we can all fit! Please put 12th July in your diaries and come along between 2.30-4.30 for tea at 84 Tinwell Road and then join us for Choral Evensong at 5.30. Please note, there will be a raffle, with some great prizes. There is a sign up sheet at the back of church so we know numbers. Look forward to seeing you there. Fr. Neil

'An Organ Celebration' - Saturday 18 July at 7:30pm
The grand finale of our summer recital series is now rapidly approaching! Do make sure you plan to come and join us for a very special concert in All Saints on the evening of Saturday 18 July.
This gala organ evening, celebrating music, All Saints' Church and those we love but see no more, will feature both our own Director of Music, Benedict Todd, and Oliver King, Director of Music of St Mary's Church, Saffron Walden. Expect popular favourites, organ duets and lots of fun!

Tickets are £10 and include a complimentary glass of wine, with proceeds going to support music at All Saints'. You can buy tickets online at https://wegottickets.com/f/21216 or, if you prefer, from any of the church staff after services or at Coffee Bar.

We'd love to attract as many people as possible to come to this special special event, so please do also tell all your friends about it (or buy them tickets!). You can share this Facebook event with them https://fb.me/e/73lwMiaLT or take printed flyers from the back of church. Please get in touch with Benedict if you would like larger printed posters to distribute. 

Churchish Summer Party
Churchish will be having a summer party at Rev Jenny's house on Sunday 19th July at 3pm. Everyone is welcome to come along for some fun, refreshments and time together. Cake and drinks will be provided, but please feel free to bring your own too. Please email Rev Jenny - curate@stamfordallsaints.org.uk to confirm your space and to get the address. 
Please note there will be no Churchish in August but we will be back in Spetember. 

Christian Responses to AI - Discussion Session (1st August, 2-5pm in church)

On 1st August, we will be hosting a discussion about Christian responses to AI in church, from 2-5pm. The session will be divided into two parts, with an introductory talk (30 mins) followed by Q&A about the "state of the (fast-advancing) field of AI" from David Stubbs, who is head of AI at a local software company. He is very knowledgeable about the field but has a keen eye for the deeper philosophical questions that AI poses. This will help to get us all on the same playing field in terms of our knowledge of current developments. We will break for coffee and cake, and then use Pope Leo's encyclical Magnifica Humanitas as a kickstart for our discussion about how we as Christians could and should respond to the challenges and opportunities AI poses. You don't need to read all of the encyclical (although feel free!); if you could read the Introduction and Chapter 3 that would be ideal, and Chapter 4 if possible. You can find the link to the Encyclical here. Don't worry if you don't have time to read it - just come anyway. 

St John’s Garden

St John’s Quiet Churchyard will be open now for visitors every Friday until July, from 11am until 3pm. 

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. Fr. Neil

2nd August at 15.00 - Pet Service
