There will be an opportunity to light a candle in remembrance of the person who died.
A list will be left at the back of the church, and you are welcome to add the names of relatives/friends who have died, and these will be read out at the All-Souls Service.
Saturday 2nd November 7.15pm – Film Night
We are pleased to announce our second All Saints Film Night Fundraiser. All monies raised go towards church funds.
The film is: "Amazing Grace" (Loan Gruffudd, Romola Garai, Benedict Cumberbatch, Albert Finney, Michael Gambon, Rufus Sewell & others).
Amazing Grace is the incredible true story of William Wilberforce, who tirelessly led the campaign to abolish slavery in Britain. At a time when the slave trade was not only perceived as acceptable but as a necessity for the economy, Wilberforce and his fellow abolitionists dared speak out against a massive injustice, fighting long and hard for the freedom of others.
Watch the trailer: https://bit.ly/asdfilm2
Being held this time in the Church, doors will open at 6.45pm for 7.15pm film start.
Open to all ages 12 & above. Pay on the door, cash please: £5 per adult / £1 per child and this includes a hot drink on arrival. There will be a half time intermission (loo break!) You are welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks.
Any questions? Contact: Don Tocher, Mags Waters or Lesley Handy.
See you on the night. Don't forget your popcorn!

Return: The Minor Prophets
We’re currently in the middle of a sermon series on the minor prophets. Below we’ve listed the minor prophet we’ll be looking at each week, along with a broad theme. It would be useful to read the book in preparation for each Sunday.
(In the Sunday service we will only use a selection from each book – not the whole thing!)
Each minor prophet is short in length and will only take 5-20 mins to read. We’ve included the page numbers as found in the Bible we use in church.
- 13th October Haggai: Renew the Vision (pgs. 892-893)
- 20th October Zechariah: Grace and Forgiveness (pgs. 894-902)
- 27th October Malachi: A Better Day is Coming! (pgs. 903-905
We are also publishing our sermon notes each week, so you can read through them if you wish – and of course feel free to come back with further questions.
These can be found on our homepage at: www.allsaintsdenmead.org.uk
