WELCOME
We look to bring Jesus Christ into the hearts and minds of each and every household and organisation in our Parish through our way of life, our worship of God, our love for the community and by the grace and fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Find out more about All Saints Church below and discover some helpful ways to connect and belong.
Do join us at one of our Sunday Services. You will be made very welcome.
Food4Thought
Food4Thought is on the third Thursday of each month: at 7.00 pm for a simple bring-and-share supper, a bit of bible and lots of talking (and listening!). At the moment we’re exploring ‘Living in Love and Faith’ and issues of identity, sexuality, relationships and marriage. Next date:
Thursday, October 17th
You’ll be welcome, even if you’ve not been to F4T before.
Harvest Festivals 2024
Potterhanworth: Sunday, October 13th 4.00 pm followed by Harvest Tea in the church.
'A human being fully alive'
The Annual Bishop Grosseteste Lecture is on Saturday 12th October, at 3.00 pm in the Chapter House at Lincoln Cathedral. The lecturer is invited to reflect on faith, science and philosophy in today’s world.
This year’s lecturer is Mark Hocknull, Associate Professor in Philosophy at the University of Lincoln. The title of his lecture is:
Living faithfully in the world: ‘A human being fully alive’.

Working Party
The next one is also on Friday 25th October. The project at the moment is to tidy up the bottom left-hand corner of the detached churchyard, remove the spoil heap, and trim back the trees and the ivy. So it’s not all heavy work. If you can lend a hand for an hour or so drop in any time between 9.00 am to 12.00noon.
Kidz Club
Branston’s Kidz Club is back in action.
They meet in Branston Church Hall on the 2nd and 4th Friday evenings each month – from 6.00 to 7.15 pm. Your children will be very welcome. Contact Judy at (01522) 822-620 for more information.

Coffee Morning
Saturday 19th October from
10 am to 12 noon – church hall.
Operation Christmas Child
Shoe Box Appeal
Could you fill a shoe box with toys, pens and pencils, and toiletries for a needy child? Maddie Parker is running the Shoe Box appeal again this year, so each church has leaflets and some make-your-own shoe boxes. You can also use your old shoe boxes . . .
The boxes must be at their destination by Christmas, so they are delivered to the local collection point by Monday 11th November. This means that Maddie needs them by Friday 8th November. You can deliver them to your church if you can’t get to Nocton and we’ll collect them from there.
Safeguarding
We are committed to Safeguarding Children, Young People, Victims of Domestic Abuse and Vulnerable Adults.
Details of our safegurding policy can be found here
