Sunday mornings
We hope you all appreciate the welcome and assistance provided by our lovely sidespeople each week. We currently have gaps on our rota for 1st, 2nd and 5th Sundays of the month and are looking for new team members. Even if you can only help every other month, we’d love to hear from you so please chat to us or one of the team to find out more.
We also have a gap on the post 10am service refreshments rota on 2nd Sunday of each month. We know how much everyone enjoys their tea and coffee (& biscuits!) so please join the team and help us continue this vital part of community life. Again, if you can’t commit to every month, please don’t let that put you off helping when you can.
Jenny & Lis, Churchwardens
Mustard Club
Can you spare a few hours on a Tuesday evening to help with the Mustard Club community meal? We need volunteers to help us run the evening. If you can spare one Tuesday evening a month and would like to help this worthwhile cause, please contact Chris Lamb or Sheila Doig for more information.

2nd hand book sale
There will be a book sale in aid of tower steps on Sunday 11 June after the 10am Eucharist.
Lighthouse needs YOU!
If you feel called to support your local Lighthouse during the week of 24/7-28/7 with your time, please sign up using the following link: https://lighthousecentral.org/forms/leader-registration. Lighthouse cannot run without the support of a large number and variety of volunteers, who can sign up to any number of vital roles including children's work, site team, admin, cafe, among many other things! I can vouch for it that it is an awesome week and it really does make a difference to the communities it serves! If you have any questions, please let me know. Robyn (robynatallsaints@gmail.com)
Seeking furniture-movers!
Whenever we hold activities or events in church beyond our “Sunday set-up” we often need to move furniture. Repair Cafe on the 2nd Saturday of each month is a good example, where one or two extra people 09:15-10:00 and/or 13:00-13:45 would help enormously. If you think you’re the person for this (or would like to join a list for ad hoc events) please chat to Kath or email office@allsaintshighwycombe.org to pass on your details.
Painting toilets
Help needed on Saturday 15 July, 10am - 2pm to paint the church toilets. Equipment and a light lunch will be provided. Please see Eddie Samuel or Philip Hynard.
Craft Group
The next craft group will be this Sunday 4 June at 2.30pm.
Stairway to heaven?
Thank you to everyone who has already responded by sponsoring a tower step, we're over 90% of the way up! We can afford 57 steps, and only have 5 more to fund.
The cost is £203.80 +VAT (£244.56) for each step, coming to over £15,000, so we still need your help to increase the step-count! Can you sponsor a step, or two? Work has started on the most urgent steps, so please donate if you can & use reference "STEPS". Thank you.

Repair Café
All Saints Church hosts High Wycombe Repair Café on the 2nd Saturday of every month, from 10am with last repairs at 12:30, alongside the church’s Mustard Seed Cafe. Repair Cafes are a place to get free support with repairing items which might otherwise go to landfill, or not be used fully. Volunteer repairers bring knowledge and skills in areas such as clothing, furniture, ceramics, clocks, electrical appliances, and toys.
Art space
You will see that there is some artwork on the display boards near the sofas in church. The plan is that different groups and individuals can use this space to display artwork, changing every month. I have had offers of work from local schools, groups, and individuals and am drawing together a rota. If you would like to be included, or know of a person or organisation that would, please contact me via the office: office@allsaintshighwycombe.org / 01494 527526. Thistle Martin

Fairtrade Church

Women's Cultural Arena
Just a reminder that the WCA meets every 2nd Tuesday in All Saints from 10am. Come along for Biscuits and Banter.
Conversation Café wants to help English as a Foreign Language students a safe and stress free space to practice their English. As anyone learning a foreign language knows, it’s easy to find lessons, but not so easy to find people to practice with. People who are patient; people who listen; people who care. That is the goal of Conversation Café. We meet on Thursdays just off the café space to welcome people needing to practice their English. It runs from 11:45-1pm. Do you know someone who needs to work on their English? Are you a patient, caring, and listening person who can give 30 minutes to help someone? Let me know. Email Laurie . Prayer support is also gratefully welcomed and needed!

Meeting ID: 350 700 5392
Passcode: 328562
This is a weekly opportunity to get together online and explore the gospel set for the following Sunday. We’ll study the passage and consider what it means for us – and you don’t need any experience or knowledge to join in! Then there will be time to catch up about all that’s going on in our community and we’ll end with a short time of prayer. Join us on Zoom from 8-9pm every Tuesday. You don’t need to commit to joining every week, but we’d love to see a regular group build up to explore our faith together.
Bellringing
After a long period of inactivity owing to Covid restrictions, the bellringers are back to a more normal pattern of service ringing and practices. A couple have moved away during the lockdown period and our numbers are now lower than we would like. We have rung eight bells on a couple of occasions recently but, with a total of 14 bells in the tower, we could do with a few more ringers to enable more of our bells to be rung. We would love to hear from anyone who would like to learn to ring, or from any “lapsed” ringers, or from any ringers who have moved into the area and would be interested in continuing this rewarding activity. If you fall into any of these categories, or know someone who does, please contact Tricia Newton at high-wycombe@ebsb.odg.org.uk or via the church office. A warm welcome awaits you!
Our Lockdown Cookbook - copies still available! - The Cookbook contains recipes that our congregation have a special fondness for. Copies are available for the bargain price of £5 and the total cost of the book goes to support All Saints’ Church thanks to a generous donation that meets the costs of production. You can order copies here or via email
