We have recorded and uploaded two services during Holy Week. Please follow the links below to watch the services.

Worship for Good Friday

‘Digging Deeper into Matthew’s Gospel’. Rev’d Heather will be running a Benefice Lent Study Group on Saturdays 28th February, 7th and 14th March from 11am – 12:30pm The sessions will be ‘standalone’ so you can dip in when you wish, attending one session or all as suits you.  Coffee, Cake and Chat about Matthew’s gospel in the Vicarage.

Everyone’s welcome to attend and there’s no assumed level of knowledge – come along if you’re curious!
Please let Rev’d Heather know if you would like to be part of the group so that sufficient materials can be prepared for each session via Email  or ring 01342 529047.

 

 

We’re delighted to share the news that work on the new sound system in All Saints’ was completed this week. As well as helping with amplification and providing a loop facility for hearing aid users this will give us much greater flexibilty for music requests at special services.  And it’s great that it’s ready for next week’s Ukraine Support Group Quiz! The PCC felt that this was an essential improvement to church facilities so it has been funded, in the short term, from our financial “rainy day” reserves. If you would like to contribute to the cost please speak to Simon as Treasurer or any member of the PCC. Thank you.

Evensong for Candlemas 2026 has been uploaded toyoutube and can be watched via this link.

Music includes the choir anthem “When to the Temple Mary went”.
(Text The Rev J Troutbeck, music Johann Eccard.)

It’s that time of year again – APCM season is almost upon us and our Electoral Roll is open for revision. Please download and complete this form, then hand it to Rev’d Heather or any member of the PCC before 8th February.

Why bother? Well, the number of people on the church’s Electoral Roll determines the number of people that we can elect to the PCC who manage the day to day running of the church. It also affects the number of people we can send to the Deanery Synod.

But most importantly it gives you a voice and a vote when it comes to deciding how the church is run. So, if you have an opinion (and  who doesn’t) about what we should or shouldn’t be doing then you really should be on the Electoral Roll.

It also means you can join the PCC – and if you’re be interested in joining us and taking an active role in running All Saints’ we’d love to hear from you.

The APCM will be held on Sunday 1st March following 4pm Evensong.

Evensong for Epiphany 2026 can be watched here on youtube.

 

On the Second Sunday of Advent we were delighted to welcome the Right Rev’d Ruth Bushyager, Bishop of Horsham to lead a special service of Holy Communion as we celebrated the 140th anniversary of the consecration of All Saints’.

After the service Bishop Ruth met Rory Clarke who, at 93, recalls the members of his own family who built the church

Bishop Ruth then blew out the candles on the All Saints’ cake

 

which was then enjoyed by the congregation
