All Saints' Church were so pleased to be invited to accommodate the Baptism of Ryan Hart on the 27th August.
Work commitments meant this had to be a mid-week evening service with just his parents and grandparents as sponsors and witnesses. That in no way detracted from the significance of his baptism when he chose to publicly declare his faith in God, and in Jesus Christ as his Saviour. In what was a lovely service we asked God to wash away past sins and to offer him the gift of eternal life.
Ryan is soon to be a Godparent himself, and so will you please join us in praying for him, and that God empowers him to be a faithful disciple, to share God's message of love and hope in the world, and surround him with the Holy Spirit as a constant guide and comforter on his journey.
Thank you.

Just over a week after Ryan, All Saints' Church saw Clara Charlotte James Christened. An absolutely delightful little girl whose constant smiles stole the hearts of the whole congregation (her mother claimed that she is not always like that - but we have the photographs to prove otherwise!). Supported by friends and what is clearly a truly loving family, it proved a very special day for a very special person. Please include Clara Charlotte in your prayers, that God blesses her, that the peace and love shown to her today never ends, and that she may always be supported by the prayers of us all.

We are asking God to guide us on our journey in developing our Benefice.
Please pray for:
- our benefice, our individual churches, PCCs and the Team Council.
- that God shares with us the journey he has mapped out for our Benefice.
- that He shows us the way forward in identifying what we need from a new priest.
- that God continues to heal the hurt we feel from the past.
- that God helps to build a vision of a One Church Family across our many Parishes.
