Annual General Meeting on
Thursday February 22nd at 7.30pm in All Saints Church


Another year, another project! We have been asked by the PCC if it is possible to focus on improvements to the rear of the church as our next project, following the completion of the re-shingling of the spire last autumn. To that end we have invited Richard Crooks, the Diocesan approved architect to talk to us about improvements he has been involved with in other old churches. He will bring photos of these improved facilities and we will be able to ask questions. Because this topic involves the whole village we have decided to invite everyone to our AGM. So whoever you are, do please come and let us know your views on improvements to All Saints Church

 

Another year, another round of fund raising! We are planning two major fund raising events this year.

Summer Festival Weekend
June 8th, 9th, and 10th

In and around the Church and featuring Floral and Musical events,
This is our major fundraising event of 2007. The Festival theme W.W.W. explores Heathfield and All Saint’s world wide connections, from Robert Hunt in 1606 to the present day.

Community pageant, based on the life of Robert Hunt
On Wed-Friday July 18th-20th


Students from the Community College, All Saints and St Richards’ primary school, Punnetts Town school and Broad Oak school(we hope) will join with people in the village to celebrate the arrival in America of the first settlers.
This pageant will start at the church, and end in the Community College. There will be events and activities along the road between!
