Big Brekkie 2022 for Christian Aid Week – Sunday 15th May 2022

Our team of helpers for our Big Brekkie 2022 where money was raised for Christian Aid week to help those who need an improved water supply in response to global warming.

Big thanks for the Big Brekkie and activities for Christian Aid: 

We raised £672.49 in our Big Brekkie fundraising!  It will go to the 2022 Christian Aid Week appeal. It will buy 22 taps🚰 to help to alleviate the effects of climate change in Zimbabwe which Wendy talked to us about on 15th May. Thanks to Sara and Mark and everyone who helped.

Mr Hunter says: “Thank you to the children, teaching staff and students for their fantastic steps – well over 700,000 steps in total which equates to 192 miles and with Sunday’s additional miles at The Big Breakfast for Christian Aid we reached nearly 200 miles!”

Palm Sunday Family Time

All Saints began Holy Week on Palm Sunday with both Family Time in the school hall and Holy Communion in church. Much in evidence were palm branches and palm crosses. We are very grateful to get our Easter back after three years!!Our pictures from Family Time show enthusiastic ‘Rentals whipping together newspaper palm branches. Great deal of skill on show! The Family Time get-together culminated in a symbolic Entry Into Jerusalem using the Vicar’s Hobby Horse!…..



Our Confirmation Service 29th March in Christ Church Parbold 

Our Confirmation Service will be with Bishop Julian was a lovely and joyful occasion. 

THE BISHOP of Blackburn, The Rt Revd Julian Henderson, confirmed 23 candidates into the Church of England at Christ Church, Parbold, on Wednesday 29th March.
The candidates were from Christ Church and sister church All Saints Appley Bridge, and featured 19 young people from All Saints C of E Primary School, one adult from All Saints’, and one young person and two adults from Christ Church Parbold.
Those choosing to be confirmed were reminded by the Bishop of the promises made at their baptism, and they endorsed the choice that was made for them with their own prayers and promises.
Bishop Julian also preached at the service.
Lessons were read by Mrs Janet Dunn, Headteacher of All Saints’ School and Mr Ian Hunter teaching assistant at the school and also Churchwarden at Appley Bridge All Saints’ Church.
Newly confirmed children from the school led the congregation’s prayers.
The children were prepared for confirmation by parish priest the Rev Sue Timmins and Licensed Lay Minister Diane Green.
Music and worship was conducted by musicians from Christ Church and All Saints.’
All those confirmed were presented with a Bible and a certificate of confirmation.
Following the service, the congregation was supplied with refreshments provided by the Christ Church family.
Vicar the Rev Sue Timmins said:”It was a wonderful joyful service celebrating the decisions our candidates have made to choose God. Thank you to everyone who is supporting those being confirmed as they journey on with Him.”
Licensed lay minister Diane Green added: “it was delightful to be back in Church: it’s been three years since we were last able to hold a big indoor confirmation service because of the pandemic, and it was a joy to be able to celebrate with so many of the candidates’ families and with our church family too. It was a super service, the children were a credit to their school and their parents.”
