Weekly Announcements
For the foreseeable future, all services will take place in the Parish Centre
Thought for the month from The Vicar …
A few years ago, I bought waterproofs for golf. I wore them all through a dry winter season and only discovered that the seams leaked during three consecutive Saturday downpours in August. It is so typical of the unpredictability of our climate. Hopefully there will be some sunny days ahead of us to enjoy and perhaps a BBQ or two.
It has been great to see our Sunday numbers keeping up as we collectively worship the Almighty! May he continue to shine on us physically and spiritually in the remainder of the summer.

2025 Flower List (July–December) – The Flower List for July to December 2025 is now available for parishioners who wish to donate towards the church flowers on a particular Sunday – whether in memory of a loved one or to mark a special anniversary.
You can find the list in the foyer of the Parish Centre or simply speak to one of the churchwardens.
Extra Mile Bucket update: We’re delighted to share that £589.95 has been raised in just over a month since the launch of the new Extra Mile project in support of ShelterBox. This generous amount is enough to fund one standard ShelterBox kit, which provides emergency shelter and essential tools for a family affected by disaster, helping them survive and begin to rebuild their lives. ShelterBox teams are currently working in both Myanmar and Thailand to deliver emergency shelter to some of the hardest-hit regions.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far to the Extra Mile collection for ShelterBox. Your support is making a real difference.
FIRE DAMAGE REPAIR FUND – there is a GoFundMe link available on the Parish Facebook page [https://www.gofundme.com/f/all-saints-parish-church-antrim-repair-fund] for anyone wishing to donate to this fund. As an alternative, if you are a tax paying parishioner, we can claim Gift Aid if you make your donation through the Fabric Fund. Please speak to Brian Neill for more information.
SMARTIE TUBE APPEAL – we are continuing to support the students who are studying to be future clergymen in the Church of Zambia. The fees for one student are £600 per year and we are committed to sponsoring 2 students for the next few years. Please keep on saving your 20p pieces …. or even £1 coins.
OASIS FOOD BANK – please consider donating an item or two to support the local food bank project. This is a marvellous way of showing God’s love in a practical way. Please leave items in the box in the Parish Centre [eg pasta, tinned soups, tinned vegetables, cereal, toiletries, etc]
