Braunston: All Saints

The 12 Century church of All Saints sits in the heart of the picturesque village of Braunston-in-Rutland, two miles west of Oakham in the Diocese of Peterborough.

The people of All Saints are a loving and caring community, always ready to welcome all who come to worship or visit the church. The congregation work as a team to support and nurture church life, and play an active role in the many, varied village groups, activities and events. The monthly service pattern has strong Lay participation.

Sunday services normally begin at 11.00am.

The regular monthly service pattern is:

Second: Holy Communion

Fourth: Sunday Worship

Special events are held to celebrate the seasonal festivals:-Mothering Sunday, Holy Week and Easter, Pentecost, Harvest, October Memories Service, Remembrance Sunday and Christmas with the annual Carols by Candlelight and the Christmas Eve Travelling Nativity through the village which are significant community events.

Braunston is a pilot church for the ‘Bats in Churches’ HLF project which seeks to find practical solutions to the problems caused by bats in historic churches while safeguarding the future of the bat colonies that use these buildings.

Strong Lay participation

There is a strong tradition of congregational singing and participation. There is a Lay Reader and a Licensed Evangelist and strong Lay participation. Effective use is made of everyone’s skills from cleaning and flower arranging to reading the lessons and interceding. We are a registered Fair Trade church. Details of the Safeguarding Policy are displayed in the church porch.

Charitable giving is important. Charities regularly supported are Rutland Food Bank, Christian Aid, Water Aid and Send a Cow and more recently the Air Ambulance, Hope against Cancer and Dove Cottage Day Hospice.

Safeguarding

The parish of Braunston All Saints is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Peterborough’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
