Christmas Fayre 2014

What a fantastic time we had at our Dickensian themed Christmas Fayre on 29 November. We had lots of stalls including home-made crafts, delicious cakes, challenging games and refreshments including a tasty vegetable soup. We also raised lots of money for our Missions.

Thank you to everyone who helped out, be it running the stalls, making cakes and food and setting up and tidying away.

Loom out for future exciting events coming up in 2015.

Bonfire night 2014

We had another fantastic bonfire and firework party this evening. The weather was perfect for fireworks and the large bonfire kept us warm.

And then we had soup and jacket potatoes. Everyone had a great time.

Thanks to all who helped make it a success.

Superb September

The summer holidays may be nearly over, but we have lots going on at All Saints’ this September.

Next Sunday (7th September) we will be welcoming back our Sunday School after the summer break. After the service we will be having a Welcome Back Party with games and BBQ (weather permitting) and lots of fun activities. Don’t miss it!

Saturday 13th September (10:30am – 12:30om) will be our next Table Top Sale. Admission is free and there will be refreshments for sale. There will be plenty of items for sale to suit everyone, for example gifts, cards, plants, toys, books, dvds etc. Table-hire is only £5 (limited space available), please see Joanna Miller. The proceeds from the hire of tables go to our missions, and the event is an outreach for the community. We need your help to make this outreach/fundraising event a big success.

On Saturday 27th September (9am – 1pm) we will be hosting a Puppet Training Session. Puppets are an amazing way to teach children and young people and there will a training morning to learn how to use puppetry with children.  The training will be led by the Fi Stutton, Children and Families Team Leader for Aldenham, Radlett and Shenley Team Ministry. Please let Pam know if you will be attending.

Finally, Sunday 28th September will be our next Breakfast Service. We will be welcoming visitors from our link church in Sweden. It will be your opportunity to chat to them and learn about the church in Sweden. As usual we will all share breakfast together at 9:30am followed by Holy Communion with activities for all the family.

So do come along to All Saints’ this September.

Mission total for 2013

We now have the final total for our Mission fundraising for 2013. We had several exciting events including our Scottish and 1940s themed evenings, our Summer and Christmas Fayres as well as our regular Table Top Sales.

Together these events and other donations meant that we successfully met our target of £2000 which will be shared equally among our three nominated Missions; The Willow Foundation→, Diabetes UK→ and Mary’s Meals→.

The final total for the year was £2307. The £307 above our target will be donated to our own mission, ASCEND.

We also collected £384 for one-off appeals including the Syria and Philippines crises. This makes a grand total for 2013 of

£2691.

Thank you to everyone who helped organise any of our events in 2013 and all those who came along to support them and help us reach this total.

Our new Missions for 2014 will be announced soon.

Christmas Fayre 2013
