It was great to see so many people working together and we achieved a lot in the time.
Many thanks to Good Gym and all our Church volunteers who helped to clear the undergrowth that has started to obscure some of the graves. We have also planted some wild flower plugs, bluebells and sown seeds to attract some of our beautiful butterflies, insects and birds so everyone can enjoy the tranquillity of this lovely spot even more. The work is on-going and we welcome volunteers. If you are interested in joining us, please get in touch with the Office and we'll get back to you.

When talking with members of the congregation it is clear that there is significant variation in the
understanding of how the church is run and administered, what it costs and where the money is spent. If we can get a clearer understanding of the congregation's view of this, we can improve our communication and, hopefully, commitment to the stewardship of All Saints.
To help us do this we have produced a very short survey on the congregation's understanding of the running, administration and costs of the church. It is tick box, anonymous and will take about five minutes of your time. It is easily completed using the link and pressing “Done”
If you prefer a paper copy these are available at the back of the church, please return them to the Parish Office by Sunday 8 September, which is also the closing date for the electronic survey.
Please do take the five minutes to do this and so help in the stewardship of All Saints.

The WEEK BEGGINNING THE 26TH JULY
A couple of weeks ago I had an answering machine message from a lady called Audrey from BBC Radio Berkshire asking me to call her concerning a program that the station was trying to put together. When I phoned Audrey, she was rather relived to get a response as she had experienced problems trying to make contact with potential groups that day. Audrey explained that Radio Berkshire wanted to help charities and community groups within Maidenhead. I informed her that there was plenty going on within the town although some groups had been impacted by the Covid pandemic. The program is aimed at projects coming out of Lockdown rather than the excellent community work that went on supporting vulnerable people during the Lockdowns. This blog covers some of these.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has launched a free national phone line as a simple new way to bring worship and prayer into people’s homes while church buildings are closed because of the coronavirus.
Dear all,
I have just had a long and frank discussion with the Bishop over tomorrow’s funeral service. Olivia is generally happy with what we are doing here at All Saints concerning supporting people over the coronavirus crisis but she is not happy with me officiating public services. I have said that I desperately want to take this service (Not trying to be a hero) but she has said I cannot guarantee that numbers will be small. I have explained that I have sent out a letter notifying people of the situation and promised that I will have a Thanksgiving service at a later date.
All I can ask of you is to consider seriously whether it right for you to attend on 1. Your own health grounds and 2. The needs of others.
I need to be sure that the service has relatively small numbers attending.
An open meeting of the PCC for feedback and update of the Branding Exercise that has taken place along with the options moving forward - this is a key meeting that encompasses all aspects of Church Life and will help to determine our future plans and actions, both short and long term.

An opportunity to visit some of the Churches in Berkshire, many of which will be welcoming visitors arriving on foot or by bike. All Saints will be open again this year, manned by a group of volunteer stewards offering refreshments to the weary travellers.
Please join the special meeting after the 10:00am service - Sunday 22 September will be particularly special because Fr Jeremy will be preaching on an aspect of All Saints’ heritage in the morning and there will be a special meeting in the Parish Centre immediately after the 10.00am service for information about the floor project and our fund-raising launch. This will be the ideal opportunity for you to ask any questions. We don’t expect it
to take too long.
An update from Fr Jeremy following the shared faith events - The idea of Faith leaders from the town sharing talks came from Rabbi Dr. Jonathan Romain. Jonathan’s idea is to spread a message of peace and solidarity following the attacks in Pittsburgh, Christchurch, New Zealand and Sri Lanka. Jonathan added ‘I felt the religious leaders had to rise to the challenge and show that, while we cannot control what extremists do, mainstream communities can forge a better way forward.’ Jonathan wants us to highlight that Jews, Christians and Muslims can practise their own religions and live in harmony with each other. The hope is that ‘this will serve as a pilot project that will be emulated throughout the UK.’

From time to time we raise money for the Oak project which helps to train ordinands in Kenya . On this occasion we are holding a gift day rather than a fundraising event. The Oak project is in the fortunate position of being fully funded for 2019 and 2020. We are now looking to build reserves for 2021 and 2022. When we support ordinands in training it is normally for more than one year. If you would like to make a gift, in addition to your regular freewill giving to the church, please place it in an envelope and mark it for Oak. Oak is not, of course, more important than the financial viability of the church which should always be our primary concern.
Cheques payable to All Saints Church Fund. If you can Gift Aid, please speak to Sue Stannett.

Fr. Jeremy's Topic - as published in the Maidenhead Advertiser September 20th 2018
The Bishop of Reading, the Rt Revd Andrew Proud, has announced he will retire next year. His last official engagement takes place on Easter Sunday. “Bishop Andrew has brought a passion for the global Church which has been threaded through every aspect of his leadership,” says the Bishop of Oxford.
In a letter to clergy and parishioners across the Berkshire episcopal area, Bishop Andrew writes that he feels a deep sense of gratitude: “It has been such a joy to ordain deacons and priests and see them grow and move on, and to have had the privilege of baptising and confirming so many.”
We are holding an open to all congregation and extended PCC meeting on Saturday morning of Sept 15th to review All Saints Mission Action Plan with focus upon Welcome, Service and Schools in the Parish Centre. (9:30-12:30) - Fr. Jeremy does hope that as many as possible will be able to join us.

Update - Great news - thanks to everyone's generosity and the hard work of our Young Saints team we have managed to fill and send 76 (Seventy-Six) shoe boxes - each one will help make a needy child's Christmas that bit better this year - thank you to every-one.
We are taking part again in the Operation Christmas Child shoebox appeal to provide gifts to needy children round the world. We would appreciate donations of items for 5- 9 year olds for the boxes e.g. toys, stationary, hygiene items. Full details of what can be included can be found on the large box at the back of church. It costs £3 to send each box so cash is also welcome. Please bring any donations before Sunday 15th November. If you have any questions, please ask us. - Hazel Wilks and Abigail Symonds
