Weekly notices - 12 October 2025
Welcome
Thank you for joining us if you came along to our Sunday Service, and a special welcome if you are new here!
You may have heard about the ‘silent revival’ where people are turning to Christianity, in the UK. Church attendance is increasing, especially among young people, particularly men. This week I heard from an Anglican Vicar colleague that eight young men had turned up and started attending church seemingly out of nowhere. Later I was listening to an extremely popular UK podcaster, who has over a billion streams, and he talked about this phenomenon in a 3 hour special.
Something is up! Please pray that we might catch a glimpse of the new movement here at All Saints.
If you would like to revisit todays or one of our previous services pop over to our Sermons page.
Kia tau te rangimarie,
Carolyn.

Overseas Cultural Exposure Trip 2026
We are exploring the possibility of doing a trip to Fiji next year hosted by Cassie and Takepe Kamunaga. This wouldn’t include staying in resorts! This would be for all ages. We would do group fundraising to lower financial pressure.
