MALARIA NO MORE

In November 2013 the Brigade were tasked with raising enough

money to purchase 50 nets to save children in Africa from 

being bitten by mosquitos.

They have raised money by running a treasure hunt, making loom band bracelets for their families and the congregation, selling fridge magnet crosses and holding a raffle for a huge basket of sweets as first prize, a large cuddly toy as second prize and a much coveted Baby Oleg toy as third prize.

With the help of the congregation, they have actually raised 

£600

This is enough to buy

120 Nets

Well done Brigade!

REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY 2014

Remembrance Sunday was led by the children and officers of the

Church Lads' and Church Girls' Brigade.

The band played all the hymns with John Playing the Last Post and Rouse.

The Exhortation and Kohima Epitaph were read out whilst

 Toby and Imogen carried the poppy wreath to the front and laid it at the altar steps.

The children wrote and read their own prayers for peace and assisted with 

the sermon given by Rev'd Sue Morgan.

After the service the band gave a 15 minute concert of favourite war time songs.

I am sure you will all agree, it is great to see so many children playing instruments

 and being involved with the service

          

50th Anniversary of All Saints and Martyrs Church

On the 1st November 2014, All Saints and Martyrs Church celebrated 50 years

of serving the people of Langley.  Many former priests and curates returned to help

 with a celebratory service. 

As usual we had a super buffet after the service and a good catch up chat.

A good time was had by all.

Many thanks to Bishop Bob for leading the service and also cutting the cake.
