New Year – New Faith: The surprising number of UK young people exploring Christianity By Rev Charlie Nobbs
“Christianity No Longer Felt Like An Alien Concept, But Something I Might Want To Explore In My Own Life.”
Lamorna Ash was a merry atheist – clubbing, dating and living the life of a hotly tipped author-about- town. Then, at 27, she fell for the most unexpected partner of all: God. (from Vogue Magazine May 2025 https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/finding-god-in-your-20s)
An unexpected thing is happening across the UK: young people with no previous church experience are being drawn to and exploring Christianity and the stories about Jesus. Hungry for hope, peace and purpose they are rediscovering ancient, life changing truths.
Are you interested in finding Hope, Peace and Purpose in 2026? All Saints Church is offering two ways you can explore the claims of Jesus in a no pressure, no hard sell, safe environment:

A message from Jenny & Chris
We can’t say in words how touched we’ve been by the cards, gifts, food and kind words that have reached us as we’ve been celebrating Joseph’s arrival.
Thank you so so much and we can’t wait for you to meet him soon. In these joyful (but hard!) days we’ve felt so supported, loved and cheered on by you. Thank you again so much - until we can say it in person.

We are open every day 10am - 4pm* for everyone in our parish to make use of their parish church. So pop in, have a look around, make time to pray, read from the Bible or enjoy a pit stop with your little ones as they play with the toys. We’re open for you.
*Subject to occasional offices (weddings, funerals, baptisms) and special events/circumstances.

On the first Wednesday of the month there is a short service of Holy Communion in the Church Hall at 3pm followed by refreshments - everyone is welcome, we often have new people joining us.

Refreshments follow most 10am services in the Church Hall and again, everyone is welcome!
