A walk in the mountains with a meal at a simple Auberge on Saturday 4th September. In case of bad weather the Walk will be postponed to 18th September. This should be a great opportunity to 'get away from it all' and build on friendships with other women whilst getting fit after all those summer barbeques and ice-cream!

If you are new to All Saints then please feel welcome to join us for our Autumn Welcome Lunch on Sunday 19th September at 12h30 in the Church Hall.

This will be an informal child friendly event which we hope will provide you with more information about the life of All Saints. To help us with catering and individual dietary needs please contact the Church Office (admin@allsaints.ch, 021 922 94 57) to let us know that you are coming.

The new Church Directory has now been out for several weeks. All members of All Saints have a named copy of the 2010 Church Directory waiting for them. If you have not picked up your copy yet, please see Penny Wells.

Family Time Parenting Teenagers is a six session course developed by Paul and Christine Perkin (St. Mark's Battersea, London). It provides a wonderful opportunity for parents to connect with other parents facing similar issues through the teenage years. This course provides a place for ongoing friendship and support. It also provides an opportunity to take a fresh look at our parenting, at the relationship we have built with our children and how we can help that to grow. It aims to help parents identify the areas in which they are strong, and those where they wish to improve. 

 

Parenting Teenagers is for all parents wanting to retain a guiding hand in their teenagers' lives, while learning to give them the space they need to stretch their wings and fly.

 

The Course will begin on Thursday 23rd September at 20h00 in All Saints Church Hall. If you would like more information please contact Claire and Jeremy Daglish on 021 944 93 46, or email claire.daglish@c3db.com.

If you are willing and able to help with decorating the Church for the Harvest Service which is to be held on Sunday 26th September, please contact Patricia Salzmann on 021 784 11 67 or triciasalz@hotmail.com. All offers of help on the Saturday as well as for fruit, flowers etc. will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. More information from Patricia.

 

Christian Thomson is organizing a Choir for harvest. Practices will take place on 15th and 22nd September from 19h00 in the Church Hall plus one before the service. Everyone is welcome – especially tenors!   Please let Christian know if you are interested in joining the choir. 079 821 15 45

 

 

The programme for the Church Weekend is almost completed. We are glad to announce that Pastor Alan Wilson will be our main speaker. Alan is currently the Pastor of Portstewart Baptist Church in Northern Ireland but up until 2007 was the Pastor of Westlake Church in Nyon where he served for 17 years. Alan is a dynamic speaker very familiar with the blessings and challenges of living abroad. His talks will be based upon the Parable of the Prodigal Son. A team from Westlake Lausanne will be leading our children's ministry and we welcome back the Torrance Clan who will be leading our teenager stream. There are still a few spaces and then we will be starting a waiting list in case of cancellations. If you are new to All Saints may we encourage you to put your name down to join us for what is proven to be a highlight in our Church year.

The Marriage Course, written by Nicky and Sila Lee (co-authors of The Marriage Book) is designed for any married couple wishing to build a strong and lasting relationship. It covers topics such as,

 

 

Each couple’s privacy is respected as there is no group discussion and no requirement to disclose anything about their relationship to anyone else. The course, while based on Christian principles, is very helpful for any couple with or without a Christian faith or church background. For more information please contact Claire and Jeremy Daglish (claire.daglish@c3db.com)

Looking for somewhere where you can wrestle with the big obstacles to the Christian Faith? Have you any nagging doubts that undermine your confidence in your faith? If so perhaps Agnostics Anonymous is for you. This is a 6 week course that addresses six of the Big Questions that many of us wrestle with whether we have faith or no faith. Each evening begins with coffee, a short introduction to the topic followed by an open discussion time.

 

Details of the topics to be covered are listed below but experience has shown that other issues are addressed along the way.

 

The Course will begin on Wednesday 29^th September and will run from 20h00 to 22h00, venue to be arranged. For more information please contact Clive Atkinson cliveatkinson@bluewin.ch.
