Sundays in May
During the month of May All Saints have welcomed a number of guest speakers, all of who share the common denominator of Mission. This Sunday 26th May, we welcome Rev. Paddy Beresford (Chairman of the European Board of Jews for Jesus).
Chaplain Away
Clive will be in Ireland from Tuesday 29th May to 1st June. Pastoral Emergency cover will be provided by Rev. Paul Dalzell (078 856 67 42).
All Saints Gift Day - Sunday 2nd June
On Sunday 2nd June there will be a special Gift Day towards improving the lighting in the Church. Currently lighting in the Nave is provided by strip lights along each wall in addition to some spot lighting in the transepts and sanctuary. The Council’s aim is to provide lighting in the Nave which can be adapted to varying degrees of daylight; be adjustable to provide a variety of atmospheres appropriate to the variety of worship services we offer; and which ensures that Power Point is clearly readable. In addition we would like to ensure adequate lighting in the Sanctuary which is adjustable and which highlights the beauty of our Church Building. We also wish to ensure a well lit porch and lighting for the stair well into the Church Hall. A lighting architect has recently visited the church and an accurate figure of the costs will be available soon.
Youth Annual Pilgrim Hike - NEW Date
Sunday 2nd June at 10am to 4pm

We take the funi up to Mont Pélerin and walk from there over the Mont Cheseau to a little village called Granges. The hike takes about 4 hours and we enjoy lunch along the way. All are welcome, including parents. Bring a packed lunch. For more information please contact Emilie on (youthcoordinator@allsaints.ch). RSVP by the 28th May.

Key Appeal
If anyone has a church hall key that they are not using often (more than once a month), please could they return to Clive or Louise (email admin@allsaints.ch ).
Sunday Service Rota
A new Worship Service rota is now being prepared for the months of June to August. Forms will be available at the back of Church which allow you to sign up for a variety of service opportunities such as Welcoming, Scripture Reading, Serving at Communion, leading the intercessions and serving coffee.
During the past year the number of people volunteering for these roles has dropped significantly and to address this, Louise (our Church Administrator) has sent out weekly appeals for help. We feel this is an unhealthy approach placing pressure on Louise and filling everyone’s “inbox” with emails. From the beginning of June we will stop doing this.
To ensure that all our services have Welcomers, offer coffee etc, please take time to fill in a form and send it back. Thank you for helping the Council address this issue
Youth & Children's Co-ordinator
All Saints Anglican Chaplaincy is part of the Church of England’s Diocese in Europe and works in partnership with the Intercontinental Church Society. We are a growing Anglican church with around 250 people of many nationalities bound together by a love of Christ and His cause. We are seeking a dynamic Youth & Children’s Co-ordinator from September 2013 who will co-ordinate our ministry to children and young people.
The successful candidate will have proven experience in children’s and youth ministry, and be fluent in English. Enhanced disclosure/back ground check required. Vevey is between Lausanne & Montreux, & borders Lake Geneva. For more information contact Rev. Clive Atkinson at All Saints' Anglican Chaplaincy, Ave de la Prairie, 1, 1800, Vevey, Switzerland (cliveatkinson@bluewin.ch, www.allsaints.ch).
Via Ferrata
Angie Boden from our congregation is starting her Via-Ferrata season starting at modest level working up to a higher level towards the end of the season. She tends to start off about 9am on Saturday in the nearby region. When weather permits, she'd even organise for something further with an overnight Friday stay. Should there be anyone (16yrs - 60 yrs) interested in the sport, she'd be happy to guide him/her. For more information, please contact Angie or email admin@allsaints.ch. Note: climb on 25th June is cancelled due to wet weather conditions.
Vienna, Sommernachtkonzert
Angie Boden is interesting in attending this concert by the Vienna Philharmonic on the 30th May. She envisaged a day of leisure relaxing in the gardens and a picnic before the concert at 20h00. She would like to invite anyone interested from All Saints to join her. For more information, please contact Angie or email admin@allsaints.ch.
