Join us for our annual Easter Sunday Sunrise Service!!!
Every year on Easter Sunday All Saints hold a beautiful sunrise service at 6:30am
This popular and powerful service takes place in All Saints churchyard, overlooking the valley. This short service includes readings, prayers and songs of praise and we are often joined by members of churches from across the South Liverpool Deanery.
We end by making a joyful noise as the sun rises and we give thanks for the one and only risen Son!!!
Afterwards we gather in the church hall for tea, coffee, hot chocolate, breakfast cereals and bacon butties.
Spread the word and join us for a truly poignant service and an unforgettable time of fellowship this Easter!!!

Morning PrayerDid you know that All Saints have a regular online service of Morning Prayer on Monday and Friday mornings?
Starting at 8am for around 30 minutes, this is a great way to begin your day.
We use the Common Worship service format (shared by Anglican Christians around the world!), focussing on God’s will for our lives, praying for the congregation and the parish of All Saints Childwall.
In 2 Chronicles 7:14 it says “if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
Why not join us? It is a great way to connect with other members of the congregation, and participate in life of the church through fellowship and prayer.

We have received over 70 gifts so far.
Please prayerfully consider if you can join us and give an additional amount.
Any amount towards the increased cost of our energy bill will obviously be very welcome.

BOOKWORMS
Bookworms is our Church bi-monthly reading group. We meet in the function room of the Childwall Abbey pub and we’re open to all, not just Church members.
It’s a great opportunity to discuss a book and listen to other people’s opinions.
One of the most commonly heard comments is:
I would never have read that book if I hadn’t come to Bookworms.
Our next meeting is on Monday 8th April at 7.30pm
We will be looking at ‘My Name is Why’ by Lemn Sissay.
Lemn Sissay is a modern poet born in 1967 in Billinge Hospital. He was brought up in the care system in Wigan and this book is his memoir up to the age of 17.
It’s 2 months off so plenty of time to get hold of a copy and read it.
There is no charge. Just come and enjoy a drink and a good discussion.
THERE WILL BE NO VESTRY HOUR ON 2nd April & 9th April
Vestry hour will resume on 20th April and is held every Tuesday from 7pm in church
To book a Baptism or a Wedding or speak to a member of the clergy, please come to Vestry Hour which is held in the church every Tuesday, no appointment is necessary. Please use the wooden door to the left of the tower. You do not need to knock; just come in, take a seat and you will be seen privately in turn.
All Saints’ Prayer Partners Scheme
All Saints church has been running a Prayer Partner Scheme for the last 35-40
years, in which Prayer Partners provide prayer support for people and groups ministering in the life of the church. After changes of personnel in recent times the scheme needs updating. Sue Watterson has been the coordinator for 14 years, but feels it is time to hand over to somebody else, who can provide fresh ideas and energy. David Holland has volunteered to take over.
Invitation
If you have been in the church for some time or have only recently joined and can see this as something you would like to do, please contact David Holland. The idea is that the Prayer Partners will keep in touch with the person or group they are praying for. How regularly you offer prayer will be up to you. Existing Prayer Partners will be asked to affirm their continuing commitment.

POLICE SURGERY
TO BE HELD IN THE CHURCH HALL (opposite church)
ON THURSDAY 11th APRIL – 6PM to 7PM
The aim is to gather and build area intelligence with details from Childwall residents about suspected crime in the area.
You can attend and pass on details (anonymously if you wish) of suspected crime around the area. It would be helpful to provide details of suspected perpetrators e.g. name, address, car number plates, pictures/video/ CCTV, etc.
This is more likely to lead to building a specific intelligence picture that action might be able to be taken with.
The surgery is not for victims to make official crime reports to the police. This should be done through official systems by calling 999 if urgent, or 101.
It is quicker and more precise to go to
www.merseyside.police.uk/
use the big Blue Report button on the left.
