YOUTH RALLY 2014

We had a wonderful day at the Youth Rally on Sunday. In all we had 26 of our youngsters in the All Saints Team and they did us proud. We won 9 medals, 6 Golds, 2 Silvers and 1 Bronze. But medals aside, watching even our littlest ones (Rosie you're a star) pulling like trojans in the Tug of War, and helping one another around the It's a Knockout circuit, made hearts swell with pride. They were great! What a fortunate parish we are! Sincere thanks to all the parents who came along to support and provide lifts; Declan, Catherine, Andrea, Marcia, Sue and Stephen, Adee, Lewis and Frank, not forgetting the fantastic support that we had from Head Teacher Sarah and Fr. Jonathan. Roll on next year.

Visiting our parish church today and seeing the main lights in the church burning brightly brought a real sense of how things will look when the project is finished. The frosted glass shades will be fitted later to keep them safe. The main lights will also be fitted with dimmers, but only after they have run for up to 100 hours! The stone floors which have been laid look wonderful and the lighting brings a sense of warmth to the building (the under floor heating helps!). The oak timber floor will be laid in the nave very shortly. All in all the space looks wonderful, a worthy place in which we can worship God and to which we can welcome his flock. Your prayers for Andy (Site Agent) have helped, he is much better.
Let there be light!
…and there was light!
The glass shades will be installed at the end of the project.
