Heritage weekend
All Saints is taking part in the UK National Heritage Weekend on 9th and 10th September.
Our Church will be open all day Saturday and on Sunday afternoon including the tower. We need a team of stewards who will welcome people. No historical knowledge is required.
You just need to give people a friendly welcome. We have enough volunteers to do this on Sunday afternoon but could still use another few for Saturday especially in the afternoon, either 12.00 until 2.00pm or 2.00 until 4.00 pm. If you would like to do this please contact Helen Ford on 07950718759 or h.h.ford@btinternet.com. Alternatively speak to Garry Critchley.

Student Hospitality
Would you be willing to have a couple of students for a meal in October to welcome them to Liverpool? It would be great if about 10 individuals or families would be willing to offer hospitality. Please speak to or email Adeyinka if you would like to offer.
Opportunity for a Youth worker at All Saints Childwall
I am delighted to be able to share with you that we will be able to employ a Youth Worker at all Saints.
The total pledges made towards this position have exceeded our target of £45,000. The last few weeks have been truly humbling as we have seen pledges flood in towards this appointment. As a PCC we believed that we should step out in faith and test this opportunity before God which he has now blessed.
An enormous thank you to all of you that have made pledges.
How can you fulfil you pledge?
To fulfil your pledges please see the information at the bottom of this weekly sheet or take a printed information sheet from the back of church that will detail the different ways you can give.
Our preferred method of giving as a church is through the Parish Giving Scheme as gifts come into the church bank account with tax reclaimed without us having to complete any administration which obviously saves a lot of time.
We thank God for the way that he has prompted all of us to respond in this way. We look forward with excitement to the future. Please now pray that God will lead the right person to respond to his call and join us at All Saints Childwall.
If you have any further questions or would like to talk about this opportunity please contact me. Thank you, Andrew
