This year's Pentecost Sunday All Together Communion Service had a Christian Aid Week focus as the two dates coincided. There was drama from Stage-Fright about life from a refugee perspective; there was a guest speaker Jessica Hall, our regional Christian Aid rep, who spoke and sang a song. A special prayer activity included lighting the candles on the church's birthday cake.
The film above was shown at the start of the service. Technical problems prevented the second film for children "Wonderful Worms" from being shown. This can be seen here
These freshly baked cakes were among those given as a welcome gift from Churches Together in Wokingham to residents of the new housing developments in Wokingham. Members of All Saints both baked cakes and took them on the doorsteps. If you would like to get involved in future "cake-bombings" please contact Revd Anna Harwood.
