The funds raised helps Christian Aid train communities & individuals to get skills & knowledge to grow different food crops, buy medicines and improve their living conditions to fulfil their ambitions and hopes.
Envelopes will be given out to donate money after the services on Sunday 12th May to be returned the following Sunday.

Pew Bags
LOST – Mary, a lion, Jonah and the whale book, plus lots of crayons and pencils.
We are pleased that the Pew Bags are in constant use but replacing missing items costs time and money and means other children can’t enjoy the bags. Please search at home to see if the missing items have stowed away in your bags.
We would be grateful for chubby wax crayons if anyone has any to spare.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH Bookworms
The next meeting of our Church reading group will be on Monday 3rd June at 7.30 pm in Calisa Coffee Shop. (Note change of venue) We will be looking at the novel
Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. It is a story set against
the background of the Biafran War in the 1960s. All welcome.

Did 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.
