Welcome to All Saints’ Church, Didcot

All Saints Church Didcot

Dear all,

All Saints’ has been a place of worship and welcome for over 800 years and we now worship online as well as in the building. Our Sunday 10am services are streamed on our Facebook page and can also be seen on this page from the feed given below, for those who do not use Facebook. Every Second Sunday we have a special 3.30 – 5pm creative event for all ages.  Do have a look and and join in – all are welcome!

We are a community of people seeking to be open to Jesus in worship and mission,  looking to develop our special place of prayer, heritage and welcome.  

Revd Andy Lord, Priest-in-Charge and Area Dean of Wallingford; Revd Debbie Lord, Community Minister; Nick Hards LLM and the team!

Prayer

Many are seeking a sense of presence beyond ourselves, a love that is active through all things, and as Christians we find this in a variety of approaches to prayer. Our Sunday morning 10am worship is usually Eucharistic as we gather together to reflect on the Bible and to receive Jesus through the bread and wine, with music led by our great Choir.  Twice a month, on Tuesday morning we are encouraged to pray for our community at 9.30 when a service takes place in the church building, streamed when possible. We have Special Services of healing and contemporary creative worship from time to time. All Saints’ sermons on prayer can be found on our YouTube channel.

There is a prayer cycle to aid in your prayers available at – https://didcotallsaints.org.uk/prayer/

Community

We are involved in various community groups and have a modern, well-equipped Youth & Community Hall available for hire:

Heritage

There has probably been a church here since before the Norman Conquest and the current building dates back to about 1160. The Yew Tree outside the front door is well over 1,000 years old and we have a Norman font and a stone figure of an Abbot who died in 1294. So there is plenty of heritage here! This is a living heritage and the building has been adapted through the centuries to better serve the communities of the time. Do be in touch if you would like a copy of the short history or would like to look around. Take a virtual tour of All Saints’, Didcot.

We have a number of churchyards which are well visited and maintained, providing a continuity between the past and present. The love of God has been active through all time and cultures and we give thanks for those who have gone before us in faith.

Welcome

All Saints’ is a very friendly and welcoming place to visit so do come along.

Funerals, weddings and baptisms are celebrated at All Saints’. We encourage people to be aware of those who are vulnerable, wearing face coverings and using hand gel as appropriate. The church can seat up to 120 and has a children’s area, kitchen and toilet.

You can keep up to date on our Facebook page, the feed of which is below. We meet for a Zoom chat on alternate Wednesdays – this is for everyone so do let us know if you want to join in – administrator@didcotallsaintshall.org.uk

We are in the week of prayer for Christian unity. We are encouraged to think about Burkina Faso which has been suffering regular terrorist attacks in recent years, mostly out of our news. With the Good Samaritan we pray and act for healing and the overcoming of divisions.

We also pray for our local churches in Didcot and all they are doing to live and share the good news of Jesus in times of challenge for many people.

In this season of Epiphany it is good to hear the reflections from a Mission to Seafarers chaplain who links the journey of the wise men with the journeys of many across our oceans at this time.
