All Saints is an Anglican church
in the benefice of Cressing and Stisted with Pattiswick and Bradwell and the diocese of
Chelmsford.
The first stone church was
built here almost exactly 800 years ago and we are taking great care to preserve the fabric of this beautiful historic building.
However, a church is much more than a building - the word
really describes the group of people who meet within it, and the purpose of their meeting.
Most of us here share a common belief in
Jesus as our Lord and Saviour - some of us are simply trying to find out more about life's truths!
If you would like to know more or to talk with the Rector or Churchwarden about any matter they will be pleased to
hear from you.
All Saints Church is now be open weekdays from 09:00 to 16:00 - please feel free to come inside and admire this beautiful medieval building or take some time out for quiet reflection. Plans are progressing for opening the church at weekends too (though we are open on Sunday mornings!!)
Sunday School - we're very pleased to announce that we have 4 new Sunday School teachers; I’m sure you will join me in warmly welcoming Samantha Delany, Helen Horton, Jane Mayer-Hek, and Leisa Nixon to the team. This quartet of ladies will be metering out the glue, glitter and gospel on a regular basis alongside our experienced teachers Tracy Francis and Jane Bailey. Our Sunday school caters for a diverse range of ages and abilities, and we’ll be examining God’s all encompassing love for us via the mediums of Fuzzy Felt, hand printing and decoupage. Sunday School runs every Sunday EXCEPT the 2nd Sunday from 10:30 at All Saints Church. All are welcome.Tayrina Ferguson

Appeal - Church Funding is critical - it costs
approximately £480 a week ro run All Saints - the Rector and Churchwardens would like to
thank all those in the Parish who
have responded so generously to appeals for funds. We have received some
fantastic donations and many pledges of regular giving. Stisted Village church
is just over 800 years old and it may seem impossible to imagine that it might
one day close, be converted for another use, or sold off...
The cost of keeping this medieval
building open is now around £24,000 per annum - excluding restoration and repairs. These
costs have to be met entirely from our own village funds. Please consider whether
it is important for you to maintain an active Church in Stisted - even if you
do not attend regularly, you may enjoy our Christmas Carol and other occasional
services and of course you may wish to be buried there or have your children
married in the church!
Bankers draft forms are available from the Secretary of
the PCC or the Churchwarden or online.
Most people contribute between £10
and £20 per month - overall less than the cost of your daily newspaper.
Church Donations - to make the most tax-efficient use of
your offering, please either:
use a yellow envelope - a supply is available from one of the Churchwardens or can be found
in the Church pews
fill out one of the confidential standing order forms (available online, from one of the Churchwardens
or via the Church notice board in the South Aisle).
Thank you!
