Welcome!
All Saints is a vibrant, growing church where people meet to worship God and enjoy fellowship together.
We share a vision to see people coming to know the Lord and to have lives transformed in our community and wider area.
Everybody can find a home at All Saints' and we look forward to welcoming you to one of our services or other meetings.
We have a great mix of young, old, students, singles, families and a great youth and children's network.
We believe we have found something that brings incredible peace and certainty in a world that is sometimes broken and difficult.
May Jesus bless you as you search these web pages and perhaps join us for worship.

View from the Youth Attic - February
With the last magazine being a double month edition, I think some of last year’s events may have been missed, so excuse me for a looking back.
In November the Sunday Nighters held a weekend sleep-over. The teaching was around God calling each and everyone of us and how we respond. We used Church, the Oasis cafe and Church House for our activities. On the Saturday we set off on the train to Leeds and visited the Armouries then the Cinema in the afternoon. Joyce and Jen kept us well fed for the weekend, my thanks to them.
Towards the end of November the mid-week youth fellowship, S.N.O.W., went as a group to ChristChurch to see Riding Lights Theatre Group perform ‘Origins & Lemons’, a well thought-out play around Creation. Pathfinders were invited to St Margarets for the younger Deanery Youth Event again looking at Creation; why we were created and how we look after what God has created for us.
In December Sunday Nighters invited members of the congregation to join in The Big Sing. There were 30 of us who stood by the check-outs one Sunday afternoon singing carols. We had 2 practices and even though the only musical instrument was my guitar I think we did rather well. We really enjoyed ourselves and raised £55 for Christian Aid.
In SNOW we looked at the central figures of the Christmas story and the part we could play at Christmas. We rounded the year up with a party at Christian Union on the Monday before the schools broke up and Sunday Nighters had their party with the theme of ‘Come as someone else’ so they had to dress and act as other people from the group. We held our ‘mincepies in the youthattic’ on Christmas Eve and it was a real pleasure to see ‘old’ Sunday Nighters back from Uni there.
2010 has set us off with loads of snow and ice, some things already cancelled, some carrying on inspite of the weather. We are already collecting money for Greenbelt and are planning a joint youth football match at the end of January and looking at a course on the 10 Commandments for Christian Union. Thanks
