Our recent Harvest Thanksgiving service saw us able to pass on a considerable amount of tinned and packet food to Hospitality and Hope for their Food Bank. They have said thank you to us and included a copy of a recent short video they have filmed. You can see it here:  Good Friday walk 2013 We will start in the Yard of the All Saints campus at 12noon and walk to the Methodist Church via Cleadon Lane, the Pond, Sunniside Lane, Sunniside Terrace, Shields Road, Front Street, Cleadon Village Church of England Primary School on Boldon Lane, Front Street and Sunderland Road. At the Methodist Church there will be an act of worship starting at 2.00pm. The whole collection might traditionally be known as The Stations of the Cross. During the refurbishment work of the Old Schoolroom the Coffee Drop-in facility will take place as follows
The Chapter House is at the higher level of the All Saints site. Level access is available from Cleadon Lane. There will be no Coffee Drop-in on Wednesdays and Fridays. On Monday 25th February we handed the Old Schoolroom over to Tandem, the lead contractor for the refurbishment of this room. This work will provide a renewed facility that will help us enable community to happen in Cleadon.
This has been made possible through the Durham Board of Education funding some of the work that derives from their occupancy of the building, using it most recently as a dining hall for the former Infant School. The Old Schoolroom was returned to the Parish in November 2007. It is anticipated to take six weeks. During the re-furbishment usual activities are taking place elsewhere on site wherever possible. Occasionally this will have a knock-on effect to another user group.

He will be moving to Lambeth Palace early in the new year. We pray for +Justin, Caroline Welby and their family as they look towards this move; +Mark, Bishop of Jarrow, and the senior team in this diocese as they prepare for another vacancy so soon after the last one; and Canterbury Diocese as they prepare to receive him. Bishop Justin recorded this message the day after the formal announcement confirmed what had become a poorly kept secret. In March this year an event on a football pitch unleashed an unprecedented wave of prayer – all powered by the new media of Twitter. This article looks at the phenomenon This year instead of a Christmas Bazaar, All Saints have decided to hold a Christmas Tree Festival over the last weekend of November If you wish to decorate one of the many Christmas Trees we provide then please use the booking form. The decision to change the focus of the event is to help get a greater involvement of the wider community and for us all to have some fun together rather than for us all to see this purely as a fundraising event. There will still be some of the features of the Christmas Bazaar to enjoy: Tombola, Cakes and refreshments with the drawing of the prize winning tickets in the Grand Prize Draw. But there will also be Christmas Trees. Friday 23rd November – Preview from 7.30pm with some refreshments |
