FRIENDS OF ALL SAINTS, STAPLEHURSTI am delighted to report that the Shepherds' Market raised just over £1,000 for the Friends of All Saints and would like to thank everybody who came to the Church on Saturday December 3rd and did at least some of their Christmas shopping with us. We would also like to thank all the Village Traders who donated prizes for the raffle and supported us by providing goods and services and, of course, all the extra people who helped us on the day. The Friends of All Saints is a secular charity which exists to raise funds for the upkeep and maintenance of the fabric of the Church building. Membership is a minimum of £5 per annum and we would be very pleased if, in these austere times, you could spare us that amount each year. Without members it would be even harder to raise the amounts required. Our Membership Secretary is Andrew Brady and he would love to hear from you on (01580) 891840 or email Andrew Brady Maureen Brice P.C.C. Notes from January 2012 Parish MagazineA Very Happy New Year to all our Readers! At the beginning of the December PCC Meeting, Mary Shaw, Vice Chairman, welcomed The Rev. Silke Tetzlaff to her first meeting as our new Rector. The Rector thanked all for her warm welcome to Staplehurst and for the wonderful service of induction in November. Matters discussed included a Day Trip to St. John's College, Cambridge, on May 19th 2012. St. John's are the patrons of All Saints and have had a close association with the Church for many years. Also, in November, the Parish Weekend is being re-introduced. More details on both these events will be printed later. Donations from the Shepherd's Market realised the sum of £1,000 pounds. Discussions for Team Spirit Staplehurst are on-going and details will appear as and when activities and events are finalised. Sylvia Lade Back to Top
SOCIAL EVENTS SUB-COMMITTEEWe provided refreshments following the induction of Silke, our new Rector, on 24th November. Our thanks to all who helped us in so many ways. At the time of writing this, Carols by Candlelight is still to take place, hopefully this will have been an enjoyable evening with some light-hearted entertainment in between singing the carols. By the time you read this report we will also have provided refreshments following our service of Nine Lessons and Carols. So, to 2012, it looks like being a busy year. We start our events with the Parish Sunday Lunch at McCabe Day Centre on 29th January 2012, details are elsewhere in this magazine, put your name on the list at the back of Church, or ring me on 892073, if you want to come along to this. As usual it will be a roast beef dinner plus choice of desserts. Our Pancake Party will be on Shrove Tuesday, 21st February, more details next month. We are arranging a coach trip to Cambridge on Saturday, 19th May, which will include attending Evensong at St John's College plus afternoon tea. We are organising a Garden Safari on 23rd/24th June 2012, more details next month but we are starting to plan this so, if you would be willing to open your garden to visitors then, please let me know.

As in previous years we are providing lilies in memory of loved ones. At the 10.00am service on Easter Day these will be blessed, together with the memorial book. Most Sundays at the 10.00am service the memorial book will be in Church. The donation for a lily is £3.00. If you are unable to come to Church, please telephone me to make an arrangement to see me. It would be helpful, for ordering purposes, if you would let me know by Thursday 29th March if you would like a lily, although it is possible for me to order others after this date.
