Pastoral Visits: A new team has been set up, working alongside the Ministry Team, to visit those within the All Saints’ community who may no longer be able to come to church or who are unable to keep in regular contact with All Saints, whether on a short term or more long-term basis. If you would like to be visited, or know of someone who might, please speak to a member of the Ministry Team or Elaine Dagnall (Team Co-ordinator) or email [email protected] or telephone the Church Office 01494 527526. Thank you.
Drawing Together: Sadly, we have had to cancel the March session. The next will be Wednesday 22 April. Joc and Thistle
Lent lunches: This Sunday, 15th and 29th March. Please sign up so that we have an idea of numbers.
Lenten Music: I’ve chosen music from across the centuries to reflect the Lenten liturgy. Organ voluntaries will be a little more subdued on most Sundays.
Anthems, too, will have a poignancy save for Mothering Sunday for which most of the music has a Marian theme, including a local arrangement of ‘Shall we not love thee, Mother dear’ - the dear Mother referring to Mary. On Palm Sunday the choir, with some guests will be performing Stainer’s Crucifixion- for the first time at All Saints in living memory. It’s a wonderful, if sentimental, start to Holy Week.
Lent 2026 There’s a great range of options for exploring our faith further during Lent this year:
NB the Thursday evening Book club is stopping and will combine with the Monday evening group from now on.
Book Club – Monday 7-8.30pm in the Vicarage, or Thursday 1.30-3.00pm in Church or 7-8.30pm in the Vicarage: Our book this year is ‘Joe Nuthin’s Guide to Life’ by Helen Fisher, an uplifting novel about a neurodivergent young man who unexpectedly builds a community and saves a friend by following his mother’s words of wisdom.
The Acts of the Holy Spirit – Tuesday 8-9pm on Zoom: How does the Holy Spirit renew, equip, empower, send, and sustain us in our Christian journey? Exploring scripture from Acts, these sessions are presented jointly with On Fire Mission and open to all.
Come and See – Discovering Jesus through the Eucharist – Wednesday 7.30-9pm on Teams: Using material offered by our diocese. Explore the profound meal at the heart of Christian life - whether you’re new to Christianity or have been coming to church for years.
The Eucharist: Incarnational constant in a changing world? - Starting Wednesday 4 March 7.30-9pm at All Saints: Delving deeper into the theology and development of the Eucharist.
Sign up on the lists at the back of church to join in - all the groups begin week commencing Monday 23rd February and end by Thursday 26th March.
A Creation Care Lent booklet for each household is available at the back of church.
All Saints electoral roll is being revised between 22nd March and 5th April this year. The church electoral roll is our register of electors and entitles you to vote on Church matters, attend the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) and stand for election to the PCC. It is separate from being on our mailing list. If you would like to join the electoral roll, please complete an application form asap and return it to me in church or via the parish office. You need to be over 16, baptized, and have worshipped at All Saints for at least 6 months or be resident in the parish. You only need to complete a form if you didn’t return one last year, when the roll was completely renewed, or more recently. Please ask if you have any questions. Sue Lord (electoral roll officer) 07837 537474
Sole Mates Walk: Our next Sole Mates Walk will be on Saturday 21st March at 2pm. We will meet at Totteridge Recreation Ground - entrance via Freemantle Road, High Wycombe HP13 7PQ. We will explore the recreational area and then walk to Hazlemere Recreation Ground to continue the exploration. We will finish back at Totteridge Recreation Ground. The walk should last about 60-90 minutes. Please bring a drink and snack with you. All are welcome. Please email [email protected] if you would like to come. Hope to see you there!
Could you give a few hrs one Tuesday evening a month? Every Tuesday evening, All Saints opens its doors to serve hot meals, kindness, and conversation to people who are homeless or pushed to the margins of our community. We’re looking for a few more volunteers from the congregation or wider community - even a few hours one evening a month makes a huge impact. No special skills needed. Just a willing heart, a bit of time, and the belief that everyone deserves dignity and care. If you can spare an evening please contact Sheila, Fran, Lynne or Andy for further info.
Easter Garden Fun for Families: Come and prepare for the joy of Easter with us at 2pm on Friday 27th March! Families with primary-aged children are warmly invited to a hands-on Easter Garden Workshop. Children will create their own miniature Easter gardens and help us build a special one for the church, discovering what each part represents in the Easter story along the way. It’s a free event, with refreshments included. Booking is essential, and a link will be available soon. Robyn
