All Saints Church Grayswood

Due to the sharp rise in virus cases both nationally and locally, the PCC has taken the decision to suspend gathered worship services and move to Zoom services only from this Sunday (3rd January).

There will therefore be no 8am services, and the 10am will be on Zoom.

This decision has been made to protect all those in our church congregation and those who support the services each week.
Please continue to pray for all those who are working to overcome this virus, those who are suffering from its effects and those for whom a tightening of restrictions will cause particular distress.

Join us on Zoom for our Morning Worship Service on Sundays at 10 am

Chris Bessant, Elaine Collins & Fi Gwynn

"It was a delight and a privilege for the church family at All Saints, Grayswood to welcome Rev Elaine Collins to be joining Rev Fi Gwynn as part of our clergy team. Elaine was installed on Sunday 13th December with as much ceremony as restrictions allowed, but with many more joining in on Zoom. The building and the many screens of smiling faces expressed the warmth and enthusiasm of the parish as the proceedings were presided over by Archdeacon Paul Davies. He spoke movingly and challengingly about ‘seeing and being seen - not just as a presence in the locality but as a visible light.’ Elaine will undoubtedly be just that - and such an asset too, not least in sharing her ministry and riding shot-gun to Fi who has done such an impressive and capable job managing the parish single-handed.
So, we look forward to getting to know Elaine better, to which end by the way, I will be interviewing her in the “Gospel According to …” slot in our zoom service on Sunday 24th, so make it a zoom date!
Meanwhile, Elaine - we welcome you into our midst!"

Richard Everett

As this present time fades into the darkness of the past
As these last embers of today become tomorrow’s yesterday
As one more year of journeying but not quite arriving
Becomes this year’s last year and a time –
At times –
Of barely surviving
I wait for the light
I wait for the Shard of Hope
That will pierce the dark
And banish the shadows of regret
And disappointment and misplaced words and deeds
To illuminate my world
With the light and knowledge of your holy Presence
So that now
In this moment
And forthwith
I can see myself
Reflected in the loving eyes of Christ
I can see myself
Reflected in your knowing gaze
I can see myself
In the light and gift and the promise of your tomorrow
And I will be brave enough
To see myself
Today
