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!

Advent Course
Revd Jenny is leading the Advent Course this
year, which will run on Wednesday evenings in place of the Bible
study on the 26th November, 3rd, 10th and 17th December. The
course is focused on exploring Advent themes through meditations
and informal discussions on a selection of sacred art, music,
poetry and prose readings. All materials will be provided, no
artistic or musical knowledge required. Mince pies and mulled
wine will be on the menu as well.
The Advent course will be hosted 7.30-9pm at
the St Martin's Rectory (Pinfold Lane, PE9 2LS). If you are
interested, could you please message Jenny at curate@stamfordallsaints.org.uk so
she has a sense of numbers in advance. If you can only make some
but not all of the sessions, that is completely fine too - each
session has its own distinct focus. David Bond will be
integrating artistic materials from the Advent Course into the
Tuesday Bible Study (10.30am at Paul and Doreen’s house) from the
end of November as well, so there is another daytime opportunity
for any interested participants. If you would like to join that
group, please be in touch with David Bond at david@dbond.me.uk.
Finally, Clare has also arranged for copies of
the Twelve Joys of Christmas to be made available at the back of
church for individual devotions during the Advent/Christmas
period. Do pick one of those up, especially if you aren't able to
make it to the Advent course on a Tuesday morning or Wednesday
evening.

Prayer Diary
Pick up your copy of the revised prayer diary
from the back of church. Paul and Doreen have provided some
prayer resources to borrow to support your prayers.

Advent Baskets
Following on from the previous Easter Basket
raffle, we are running an Advent Basket raffle on Advent Sunday,
30th November – when Bishop Stephen will be
joining us.
Please consider putting together a basket for
this raffle. You can use a basket of your own choice or collect
one from Jean after the Sunday service. Cellophane, ribbons and
labels are also available. Ideas for a basket theme are suggested
on the poster attached or you can design one of your own. Please
give completed baskets to Jean. Raffle tickets will be for sale
soon - £2 for five.

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.
