Homelessness Sunday

We welcome everyone to our church this morning. If you are
visiting, or a newcomer to the parish, please make yourself
known to a sides-person or one of the clergy after the service as
we would like to welcome you personally.
You are invited to receive communion with us. If you would prefer
a prayer or blessing, please bring a book with you to the altar so
that we shall know. If you would like to receive communion in
your pew please let a churchwarden know before the service
begins.
We keep quiet in preparation for the service once the organ
stops playing.
Today we welcome Gordon Pardy chair of The Salisbury Trust
for the Homeless. Our cash collection today will go to the Trust.

Students Exploring Marriage
www.theexploreexperience.co.uk
This is a British educational charity with a Christian ethos, taking
married couples into secondary schools, mainly Year 10, for
pupils to quiz them on their relationship - to explore what it is like
to be married.
They are seeking married couples who would be happy to come
into school several times a year. They are also seeking people
who could act as 'facilitators', introducing the topic to the pupils
and helping to make it a 'safe place' in which to explore such
personal issues. They are also looking for people to support us
by praying for the work they do.If you would be interested in
finding out more, please would you contact the local coordinator,
Mrs Heather Oliver, onheatheroliver@btinternet.com or 07731506928.
Thank you
The Women's Refuge in Salisbury have sent us a card to say
thank you for the overwhelming amount of tokens that they
received from us, some of which were used as Christmas
presents and others that will be used for birthdays etc throughout
the year.

Changes to All Saints
Welcome
After reflecting together on ‘welcome’
at the mission and vision committee
and as sides-persons here in All
Saints, we have decided to trial
having books on pews and moving
the welcome table. This will mean that
the sides-persons have a chance to
chat to people by giving out the notice
sheet but not the books. Hopefully the door area will be less
congested and sides-persons will get a chance to say hello more
fully without having the demand to give out too many items.
The book library is being frequently used and will be moved onto
some of the back pews to create more space in the children’s
area and for welcome for coffee.
Several of the back pews will be cordoned off to create more of a
worshipping space in the middle of the church.
Serving and Chalice
We are trying to be efficient with the amount of people available
to serve and offer the chalice. So you may see new people
serving and giving you the chalice.
We welcome your feedback.
