Well done Lincoln, and a technical challenge for our church wardens to replicate this with our own LED floodlights in celebration of All Saints proudly being an Inclusive Church. “We believe in inclusive church – a church which celebrates and affirms every person and does not discriminate.We will continue to challenge the church where it continues to discriminate against people on grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality.We believe in a Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ.”This evening Lincoln Cathedral will be lit in the colours of the rainbow to coincide with the Lincoln Pride UK events taking place in the city. Lincoln Cathedral is committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion at every level of its life, and we recognise and celebrate the dignity of all people as being made in the image and likeness of God. ...

☀️ On Tuesday, a beautiful sunny summer’s afternoon, we gathered at All Saints for our annual in-church Care Home Service. This year’s theme was The Joys of a Picnic — inspired by John 21, where the risen Jesus met his disciples on the beach and shared a simple meal together.Our reflection celebrated the pleasure of sharing food and time with those we love, which led perfectly into the playful theme of The Teddy Bears’ Picnic. Kim delighted everyone by playing If You Go Down to the Woods Today, and each guest received a miniature teddy to take home as a memento.Following the service, we enjoyed a traditional afternoon tea of sandwiches and cakes, with plenty of conversation, smiles, and laughter — a joyful time for all.A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who joined us, and to our wonderful team of helpers for their hard work in providing the refreshments. A splendid effort all round! 🧺🐻(Due to privacy considerations, it is not possible to show pictures of the care home residents in this post) ... See MoreSee Less

A Joyous Morning at All Saints Church, HolbeachThis morning’s Holy Communion was a truly special occasion as we celebrated a Deanery Confirmation and Baptism Service, led by Bishop Nicholas. It was a joyful and spirit-filled service in which six members of our deanery congregations — Phillip, Pauline, Gabriella, Isaac, Ben and Ini were confirmed, and Ini and Bridget were baptised into the family of faith.All those who had previously been confirmed were also invited to renew their Confirmation vows, making the service deeply personal and meaningful for us all.Today was also a bittersweet milestone, as we marked the final Sunday morning service for our priest, The Rev’d Sherine Angus. After three years of faithful and dedicated ministry with us, Sherine is moving on to a new benefice in St Albans. We give heartfelt thanks for all she has brought to our church community — her compassion, energy, and unfailing support — and we send her off with our love and every blessing for this next chapter. ...

🌟 A Shining Example of Service and Compassion 🌟Many of you will know Matthew Simons as a faithful member of our congregation and choir here at All Saints. We were proud to see him featured in the Spalding Voice this week for his remarkable volunteer work supporting residents in local care homes.Through the YOPEY Befrienders scheme, Matthew has given over 50 hours of his time to offer companionship to the elderly — including many living with dementia. His care, patience, and willingness to serve are a true witness to Christian love in action.As a church family, we give thanks for Matthew and for all young people who share their gifts so generously with others. May his example continue to inspire us in our own call to love and serve our neighbour.🙏 “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” — Matthew 25:40Well done, Matthew — and every blessing as you await your A-Level results! ...
