Absolutely beautiful All Saints Church, Holbeach.

A beautiful picture taken in the Lady Chapel late this afternoon, the effect can only be seen on a very few days each year when the sun is low and in the right alignment. Well done to Lynne for capturing the moment for us all. ... See MoreSee Less

Today was a joyful celebration of love. We talked about the gift of love and how God is love.

As a special blessing we used the newly authorised Prayers of Love and Faith for Kevin and Martin, celebrating their love for one another and nearly 46 years together.The service was followed by prosecco and cake! ... See MoreSee Less

What do the different colours of vestments, altars and other hangings in church mean?

These are known as liturgical colours and you'll see them change throughout the year.🤍White symbolises celebration. It’s used for joyful occasions like Christmas and Easter, when gold can also be used. White is also used for special events like baptisms, weddings and confirmations. 💖Red represents the Holy Spirit (the Fire of Pentecost) and martyrdom (blood), so you’ll see it used at Pentecost, on the feast days of martyred saints and as we recall Jesus’ suffering and death in Holy Week. 💜Purple symbolises repentance and preparation, which is why you'll see it during Advent and Lent. Purple is often also worn for funerals. 💚Green symbolises growth and hope. It is the colour for Ordinary Time – the period between Epiphany and Lent, and between Easter and Advent. ...

On Sunday we held our first Cafe Church service. We sat together around tables and chatted about our theme of peace. We read the Bible and looked at newspaper headlines whilst thinking about how we could put on shoes of peace and step out into our community bringing that peace.

We decorated dove biscuits and finally we made paper doves as part of the project with Lincoln Cathedral. The doves have our prayers for peace written on them. ... See MoreSee Less

A prayer for all those receiving results today.

This afternoon, our Care Home Ministry Team held our annual in-church Care Home service. Thirty people took part in the service, with readings, reflections, hymns and prayers, based around the theme of ‘Holidays & The Beach’ - all very appropriate given the beautiful warm weather and sunshine. After the service we served afternoon tea to our visitors, with delicious sandwiches and cakes. We were then all treated to a free ice cream, generously supplied by Tracey Carter and Refreshment Station, which was much appreciated.

A big thank you to all the people who came along to help with the catering and to support us today, and particularly to Kim for entertaining us all on the piano with a medley of summer and seaside favourites. Our Care Home Ministry Team visits each of the five care homes in Holbeach individually every month. We offer a short service with hymns, a reading and a talk and can take Holy Communion to individual residents that request it. The service is open to residents, family members and staff. (sorry, we are unable to show pictures of the congregation for privacy reasons). ... See MoreSee Less

A big shout-out to Refreshment Station and Tracey Carter for supporting our annual in-church Care Home Service today with free ice cream. It was much appreciated by all, thank you so much for this thoughtful gesture.We are delighted to be at the All Saints Church, Holbeach today to serve visitors to a service especially for guests from local care homes including Holbeach Hospital

The theme of the service is "the beach" so a free ice cream from us seemed absolutely perfect ! If you are in town and fancy buying an ice cream while we are there serving the care home guests for free then pop in to town now ! ... See MoreSee Less

We invite everyone to come along and enjoy this milestone with us.To let us know how many people may be coming, we are asking you to RSVP if possible - bishops.admin@lincoln.anglican.org ...

We celebrated a joyous Confirmation & Baptism service today on a beautiful sunny late afternoon at All Saints Church in Moulton. Our candidates came from both All Saints Churches in Holbeach & Moulton, and included Liam, Rebecca, Maria and Madhi from Holbeach. The service was led by Bishop Nicholas and Revd Alistair Ward, with Sherine presenting our candidates. We had a wonderful joint choir, with Holbeach and Moulton joining together, to sing some beautiful hymns. The service was followed by a super spread of homemade cakes and light refreshments. A big thank you to everyone who worked so hard to bring the service together and make us all so welcome. May all those confirmed shine as a light in the world to the glory of God our Father. ...
