We agreed earlier in the year we would like the name of the parish to include all of the parish.
To mark this change, our website and emails are changing (but don’t worry if you use the old ones, these will continue to work and still reach us). Our new website address is www.allsaintschurch.uk and all our email addresses will end with @allsaintschurch.uk.
On Sunday 3 September we held a celebratory Songs of Praise with Holy Communion, as well as refreshments to mark the change. Hoorah!
