CHRISTIAN AID WEEK 14th- 21st May 2023
The focus this year is on the country of Malawi & a community helped by their local church which is financially supported by Tearfund to grow pigeon peas that when dried can be ground into flour to make bread. Donations to support Christian Aid’s work can be made online using the following link: https://giving.give-star.com/online/christian-aid/all-saints-childwall

“Contactless Giving”
Today, we hear a lot about the Cashless Society, and many people do most of their spending using either a contactless card or their mobile phone. To help those who seldom use cash but wish to support All Saints’ financially, we have installed a contactless facility. It is placed near the main door and we would love to receive your donation to God’s work at All Saints’, either as you enter or as you leave. Any gifts given this way are completely anonymous. The only information we receive as a church is the amount given and the date. Thank you Andrew
Luncheon date for single people?
Do you live alone? Do you feel isolated sometimes? Is it difficult for you to have a meal out on your own? If so, would you like to join a group of similarly-minded people for lunch one Sunday after morning church. We are proposing to meet at the Childwall Abbey Hotel on Sunday 4th June at 12.15pm. The pub doesn’t normally get busy until early afternoon, so there should be plenty of space for us.
