Memorial Service for the Bereaved at All Saints Church, Staplehurst
You are warmly invited to our Memorial Service

Dear All
This year we are once again holding our Memorial Service for the Bereaved on Sunday a week after Remembrance Sunday on:
Sunday 17^th November 2018 at 6.30pm
This service will give us the opportunity to remember those who have died.  We will remember them with gratitude, give thanks once more for their lives, all they have meant to their loved ones, as well as pray for all who are coming to terms with bereavement. This Service is for all who have lost loved ones, recently and longer ago. If you would like your loved ones prayed for by name, please write their names on the list as you come into church. The sides’ people will assist you.
We do hope you will be able to come and join us and we look forward to seeing you.
After the service, there will be refreshments and an opportunity to look at the Book of Remembrance.
 
With our very best wishes
 
Silke Tetzlaff  (Rector at All Saints Church)

All Saints Church would like to invite you to take part in Staplehurst community Angel Festival at All Saints Church this December.
To participate, all you need to do is enter an Angel, which will be displayed in the Church on the 14^th & 15^th December for everyone to enjoy.  Entry is free to all.
Angels can be made from any material and be any size.  All we ask is that you also attach to (or place beside) your Angel, a card with a short note explaining what your angel means to you and a message for Christmas, for example, Peace, Joy or Love.
Angels can be placed in the Church during the week leading up to and including Friday 13^th December using the boards provided. Please do not use any “blu tack”, staples, drawings pins or other sharp objects. Angels should be free-standing.
Anybody who would like to enter an Angel, please contact All Saints Church Parish Office on 01580 891258 or e-mail allsaintsstaplehurst@enterprise.net

This year we will announce the winning angel at the Nine Lessons & Carol Service at All Saints Church on Sunday 15^th at 6.30pm

Recent Event
FRIENDS OF ALL SAINTS BBQ – THANK YOU!
After torrential rain in the morning (and therefore a slight delay in lighting one of the barbecues!) the sun came out as people arrived and the afternoon was beautiful. Nearly 80 people attended and enjoyed fantastic food, drink, music and company. When all the money is collected in for the Dining events a profit of over £3300 is forecast. Alaine and Brian would like to thank everyone for their support at the BBQ on Sunday and all those who helped before, during and after the event, too many to name, but they couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you all.
Forthcoming Events
Plans are in hand for an evening of photography to music, on Saturday, 19th October, which should be an amazing evening. Further details to follow, but please make a note of the date in your diaries.
