Saturday 9 May
In line with national celebrations to mark the 75th Anniversary of VE Day at the end of the Second World War, Friends of All Saints’ Church are organising a Dance at the Village Hall on Saturday 9 May starting at 7.30pm.
Tickets are on sale priced £10 to include supper and live music all evening from the excellent and local ‘Three Counties Swing Band’ who regularly rehearse in our Village Hall!
In 2019, over 200 people turned out to attend the Commemoration of the Centenary of the First World War Armistice, so we are hoping for an equally good turn out for this event.

Junior Church All Saints is delighted with the Junior Church which is open to all children and young people from across the AVMC. It meets once a month on the third Sunday of the month tying in with the monthly 'Together @ Ten' service. It currently caters for young people between the ages of 4 and 14. Some time is spent in the Church service, some work is undertaken at the back of the Church and usually the youngsters venture outside to participate in fun activities with Forest Church, supervised by our Leaders, Rebecca and Richard Remington. Everyone joins back together in the Church for the end of the Service and for refreshments afterwards, which are served at the back of the Church.

Friends of All Saints' Church
Friends provide a means by which people near and far can keep in touch and support the life of the Parish Church of All Saints'. They operate under the guidance of the PCC with the objective of preserving the fabric of the building and enriching the life of All Saints' Church for present and future generations. They have been highly successful in raising funds by collecting annual subscriptions and organising a range of social events which in the recent past have included a Burns Night, Orchestral Concert and Village Quiz. Further details available from the Churchwardens. If you are not already a Friend, please do consider joining!
Church Nave Restoration Project
Following the wonderful success of the previous Chancel Restoration, All Saints’ PCC has embarked on a new project restoring the Nave. Fortunately this is not on the same scale as the work needed on the Chancel but is necessary to undertake now before serious deterioration occurs to our much loved church.
Local builders, Tim Bucknall Partnership, will be undertaking the work again which, as last time, has commenced with some external repairs before moving inside to refurbish some of the Nave’s plasterwork. Internal scaffolding is being erected in January and further fund raising events are taking place and the Churchwardens would be grateful to receive any ideas, offers of help or donations. It is hoped that all work will be completed by Easter 2020. In the meantime, it is planned to continue using the Church for weekly services as disprution should be kept to a minimum.
For further information, please contact one of the Churchwardens.
