We, the people of All Saints' Reading, are called to be a loving, welcoming, worshipping Christian community; working together to share the love of Christ with everyone in our parish and beyond.
AS FROM NOW, THE TIME FOR OUR PARISH EUCHARIST ON SUNDAYS HAS MOVED TO 10.30 AM.
The Church is half a mile to the west of Reading town centre in Downshire Square (No.26 or 33 bus from the town centre). Within the parish there are two Church Schools; the Infant School next to the Church and the Primary School in Coley Park. For latest OFSTED reports see the links to the right. There are also four Care Homes in the parish, which we regularly visit and minister to, as well as two private hospitals, several pubs, more than one hotel, not many shops and at least two petrol stations.
Our main Sunday Service is the 10.30 am Parish Eucharist to which everybody is welcome. The style is relaxed and friendly. There is a wide spectrum of Anglican traditions amongst the congregation. Coffee and Chat afterwards is an important social occasion. We hope that you will find that the congregation, young and old, is friendly and inclusive.
The image in the banner above shows our Infant's School, next to the Church, and currently facing uncertain times ahead. Please pray for the School's future.
Our parish is beginning to link with the adjacent parish of St Marks. The precise details will be announced in the near future.
Take a look at the latest Newsletter from the Delhi Brotherhood Society (link to the right). Father Monodeep will be visiting us in the autumn while he is here at the University of Bristol for the the Michaelmas term.
Links, shown to the right, hopefully take you to what you want to know. However, if you would like any other information please use the email link ("Contact us" tab above) to send a message which will be received by both the Vicar and the Webmaster. One of us will then contact you.
