WELCOME

We are a friendly parish church on the London Road, meeting together to worship God, support one another, and bring the love of Christ to our local community.

Our worship is in the Catholic tradition within the Church of England, but our members come from all sorts of backgrounds. Whatever your age, background, or situation, we'd love to welcome you in person. Come and join us!

Community produces 1,000 Poppies to mark Remembrance Sunday

To mark Remembrance Sunday, All Saints’ Church, Ascot Heath, launched an initiative to get members of the Church knitting or crocheting poppies to display in the Church.

The project which was the brainchild of two members of the All Saints’ congregation, Betty Swatridge and Greta Grant, will see All Saints’ Church decorated with over 1,000 knitted and crocheted poppies, in advance of this year’s Remembrance Sunday.

Speaking as a team of volunteers was decorating the church, Betty Swatridge said: “We initially thought that it would be nice to get members of our congregation to knit or crochet poppies that could be displayed in the Church, however, as others found out about it, it quickly became a community project.  In addition to members of our own congregation, we have had different community groups, individuals, and even the Scouts contributing poppies.”

Greta Grant said: “When we started, we could not have imagined the level of support we would receive.  To have over 1,000 poppies is just wonderful.  It was lovely to see the community coming together to help us mark Remembrance Sunday.  We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to this endeavour.”

It is hoped that as many members of the local community as possible will come and view the poppies in the build-up to Remembrance Sunday and then attend the Act of Remembrance at the Ascot War Memorial at 10:20 on Sunday, followed by the service in All Saints’ Church at 10:45.

The Rev Dr Darrell Hannah, Rector of All Saints’ Church concluded:

“Remembrance is an important time of year, where we come together to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in conflicts past and present.  It is always a special privilege to lead the Act of Remembrance at Ascot War Memorial and then the Remembrance Sunday service afterwards, this year enhanced by the woollen poppies that will cover the Church."

The poppy display will be taken down on Wednesday 13th November so be sure to visit before then.

Many people come to All Saints because this is the local church.  Others come from the wider area because they enjoy the fellowship or services at All Saints.  Like all of the local Anglican churches, we welcome everyone who would like to worship with us or join our social events.
