Lent is a special time in the Christian Year when people get ready for Easter. It lasts for 40 days - not counting Sundays - and begins on Ash Wednesday, the 18th February. This season reminds Christians of the time Jesus spent in the wilderness, praying and preparing for his ministry.
During Lent, many people choose to give up something they enjoy, like sweets or screen time. Perhaps they try to do something kind, such as helping others. Some people read the Bible more, join church activities, or give to charity as a way of showing love and care. This is because Lent is a season of reflection, self‑discipline, and learning to be more like Jesus.
Lent is a time to think about how we can grow to be more like the people God made us to be. Just as spring brings new life to the world, Lent helps Christians prepare for the joy of Easter - the celebration of Jesus rising again and bringing forgiveness and new beginnings to us.
Lent can feel serious, but it is full of hope. Lent reminds us that everyone can make a fresh start, and that acts of kindness and thoughtfulness can make a big difference. By the time Easter arrives, we can be ready to celebrate the new life and love that Jesus brings.

WELCOME

There has been a church on this site since the 12th century. The nave was rebuilt in the 1790s and the tower contains the oldest dated bell in Staffordshire, cast by John of Colsale in 1409.

Whether visiting for a time of peace, quiet and prayer or just to look around, we hope that you enjoy your visit to our Church.

AND THE PRESENT

All Saints is part of the Mid-Trent Team of Churches, a group of eight Anglican parishes with ten churches. A regular Sunday communion service is held here at 11.15am. One of the services each month is Methodist led.

When there is a fifth Sunday in the month a united team service is held at 10.00am at each of the Churches in turn.

MAINTAINING THE CHURCH

The current cost of maintaining this historic place of worship is around £1,400 per month and we especially thank you for any donation that you feel able to leave.

HE CAME TO EARTH FOR US

Jesus was born in a Middle East town called Bethlehem, over 2000 years ago. He went about healing sick people by the shores of Lake Galilee and called twelve ordinary men to be his helpers.

He had no money, He wrote no books. He commanded no army. He wielded no political power. During his life he never travelled more than 200 miles in any direction. He was executed by being nailed to a cross at the age of 33. Today nearly 2 billion people worldwide worship Jesus as the divine Son of God.

Jesus taught us to trust in a loving and merciful Father and to pray to him for our needs and we pray that your time in All Saints Church may be a blessing to you.
