Services from All Saints

As we were still digesting the guidance issued by the CofE late Wednesday 2nd (updated Friday 4th), we reluctantly decided not to open for worship the weekend of the 6th December. We offered two on-line services:

A Family Service for St Nicholas and
A Podcast for Advent 2.

Zoom Family Service

We held a Family Service for St Nicholas via Zoom. A recording is available on our Youtube channel at https://youtu.be/7F_Y735_Q-w or click on the image below.
