PLEASE NOTE THAT THE HOLY COMMUNION SERVICE AT ALL SAINTS' CHURCH, SANDON, ON THE 6th SEPTEMBER IS AT 10-00am, AND NOT 11-15am AS SHOWN IN COMPASS.
We apologise for any confusion this error may have caused.

Our advertisement for a new priest in charge closed last week, and I am sad to say that there were no applications for the role.
We are asking that over the next few weeks you include this in your daily prayers, that you pray God guides the right person to us to lead and support us on our journey in developing this Benefice.
Please pray:
- that God shows us the way forward by attracting a new priest.
- that God helps us to continue to build a vision of One Church Family across our many Parishes.
- for our Benefice, our individual churches, PCCs and the Team Council.
- that we embrace the journey he has mapped out for us and our Benefice.

BCP is the Book of Common Prayer.
First written in 1549, and following several revisions became the current official Prayer Book of the Church of England in 1662.
It is used not because because of sentimental or nostalgic motivations, but because it agrees with the foundational doctrine of the Church of England and is loved for the beauty of its language.
Its services continue to be widely used as a traditional form of worship.
If you are looking for something more modern, many of our churches have services based on Common Worship which is in contemporary language.

We try to make our church services as friendly as possible. Please don’t worry about getting things ‘wrong’. Even if they notice, people won’t mind. At Communion services, everyone is equally welcome, whether you feel able to share the bread and wine or prefer just to stay seated for a time of quiet. Finally, we are interested in you, not what you are wearing - but note that in the winter it can be difficult to heat our church so you may need to wrap up warm!
