WE WELCOME YOU TO ALL SAINTS CHURCH We are so very glad you are here. It is our tradition to stand when singing and to sit during the readings. During prayer, you are invited to stand or kneel, whichever contributes best to your participation in worship.  Inside the prayer books, you will find blue information cards. Please fill one out & either place it in the offering plate or hand it to one of the clergy following the service. Inside each prayer book is a green card which outlines the practice of receiving the Holy Communion at All Saints.
