In a very kind gesture to help church finances, the professional photographer, James Rossdale, has arranged to be at All Saints for the whole of the day on Saturday 31st May. He will photograph your family, new born baby, Golden Wedding group, your dog, horse; it’s your choice entirely. The photographs can be taken either outside the church or inside (except for the horse!!) and will cost only £10.00 for an 8 x 6 print, which you will realise is a very ‘good offer’. All profits are to be kindly donated to church funds.

The day will be organised on an appointment basis, beginning at 10.00 am and finishing at 4.00 pm (roughly, depending upon demand). Do give James and Pamela and all of us at All Saints your support by contacting Pat on 01759 371278 or John on 01759 373424 to arrange your time.

Although due to unforeseen circumstances the book sale was not open as much as intended, sales of £49.60 were made. The profit provided sufficient money to pay for a book for the Pram Service. Thank you to all who supported this effort. in any way

I want to thank you for what you have already done in my life.

I am not going to wait until things in my life look better -

I am not going to wait until people say they are sorry –

I am not going to wait until I get the job-

I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier -

I am not going to wait until I understand every experience in my life that has caused me pain or grief;

The Church of England and Premier Christian Radio have joined forces to feature people who are part of today's Church of England via a series of monthly podcasts. In the 'People and Places' series, journalist Howard Dobson travels to meet a variety of Church of England people across the country, and series presenter Cindy Kent, from Premier Christian Radio, contributes topical interviews recorded at Church House in London and Premier. Among the interviewees are priests, people training to be priests, ordained pioneer ministers, project coordinators and volunteers. They were recorded everywhere from the Greenbelt Festival to a 'clean' comedy club in Birmingham, a coffee shop in Harrow (a youth pastor's 'second office') to Westminster Cathedral, Kensington Gardens to the Derbyshire Dales and many other locations. The 15-minute podcasts are available online at www.cofe.anglican.org/podcast and www.premierradio.org.uk/ondemand.aspx and via iTunes.

The face of Jesus must be very near our own when the thorns from his crown of suffering are pressing our brow and hurting us. Anon

Of all the things that will surprise us in the Resurrection morning, this I believe, will surprise us most: that we did not love Christ more before we died. J C Ryle

By death I shall escape from death.

The cross is the resting place for sin, the tomb for self and the throne for our fears. Harold St John

Christianity is a religion about a cross.

The cross is the centre of the world’s history. The incarnation of Christ and the crucifixion of our Lord are the pivot round which all the events of the ages revolve.

The crosses we bear are not supposed to be heavy enough to crush us, ...but they are heavy enough to bend our knees.

God grades us on the cross, not the curve.

Let him lead you from the garden of your suffering. . .......... ..............Daphne Kitching
