I would like to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to all those who attended my ordination last Saturday – it was
such a special time and it was so precious to be able to share it with you. Myself, Sarah, Femilola and
Kemiliza would also like to thank everyone as we were overwhelmed by the many beautiful cards,
messages and gifts that were given. Knowing that I am now able to complete my Curacy and ministry at
All Saints Childwall is a beautiful thing, and to be able to minister with people you love is a real privilege.
Thank you and God bless you all. Adeyinka

Youth Work at All Saints
The youth work at All Saints has grown significantly over the last few months
under John’s leadership. Our Youth church Ignite that meets on Sunday evening at
6pm has outgrown their space, they had 17 young people last week.
The PCC have made the decision to move the evening service to the earlier
time of 5pm in the hall from Sunday 6th October. This will enable the Youthwork
to take place in both of the church halls and have the space it needs to grow.

Morning Prayer
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.
