NOTICES FOR ALL SAINTS
All Saints' Gift Day and Renewal of Giving
We will shortly be sending out letters to the
congregation and the wider community inviting people to
contribute to our Gift Day and to review/renew their
existing contributions to the work of the Church.
On Saturday 1st November the Church will be
open from 10.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. to welcome
people and receive gifts and tea/coffee will be available.
KEEPING CHILDREN, YOUNG PEOPLE AND
VULNERABLE ADULTS SAFE WITHIN OUR
CHURCH COMMUNITY
Did you read about Baby P, the Jimmy Saville
affair, Rolf Harris’ offences, the abuses at nursing homes
such as Hillcroft and the exploitation in Rotherham and
wonder how it could ever have been allowed to happen?
As a Church Community we need to do our best to ensure that we can support victims of abuse and ensure that
we do not create an environment where unsuitable people can have opportunities to work with vulnerable
groups.
Carlisle Diocese has recently introduced a
rigorous process to ensure anyone working with
children or vulnerable adults – even in a voluntary capacity is appropriately appointed (as happens in schools and
other groups). Over the next few weeks we will be ensuring everyone currently in this position has completed the
appropriate
process and making good any gaps.
In addition there is free training, developed by NSPCC,
available to support people working in these roles – this is
essential for anyone currently working with children and
vulnerable adults in our churches (including all lay readers
and ministers).
All sessions run on Saturdays 10.00 am – 1.00 pm
We will need a team of stewards so if you can help please
sign the list at the back of Church. A visiting team of bell
ringers from Aberdeen will be ringing the bells too.
29th November 2014 - Cockermouth
On Sunday 2nd November at 9.30 we will be celebrating
All Saints Day (which is our Patronal Festival) with a sung
Communion Service when we will present our gifts and
offerings. Please come and support us on both days - we
would love to see you.

Christ Church, Drovers Road, Penrith CA11 9EL
The Annual Team Memorial Service for bereaved people
in the wider parish (all four Churches) will also be held at
All Saints' Church on Sunday 2nd November at
3.00 p.m. We will offer tea/coffee/biscuits after the
Service and pastoral and prayer ministry will be available
for anyone who wishes. We would welcome help from
all our Churches with this Service - please contact our
Churchwardens.

flexible. Please contact either:
