THOUGH WE ARE MANY
All Saints people come from Queen’s Park, other parts of Bedford, and further afield. Our points of origin are the Caribbean, Africa and South Asia as well as Britain. We come from all age groups and social classes. We live our lives in various different ways.

 

WE ARE ONE BODY
We may not all be the same as one another, but as Christians we believe what unites us is more important. God showed his love for everybody equally in Jesus Christ. In response to that love, we try to offer worship that builds up our community in strength and solidarity as well as giving us individual space to encounter and respond to God.

BECAUSE WE ALL SHARE IN ONE BREAD

The life we share is based on the Eucharist (Mass, Holy Communion), a service that commemorates the Last Supper of our Lord Jesus Christ, and in which we believe God is specially present with us. Our Sunday celebrations blend informality, reverence and stillness with great music from around the world and traditional hymns. No two weeks are the same, so expect the unexpected! There’s a thriving Sunday School for 4-11s. Afterwards, there’s coffee and sometimes lunch (we’re famous for our food!). On weekdays we offer simpler worship, either a Eucharist (Thursdays) or Morning Prayer. We gather for Evening Worship on Sundays.

 

CHRISTMAS
We hold a very popular Christingle service at 4 pm on Christmas Eve followed by candle-lit Midnight Mass at 11.30 and an All-Age Eucharist at 10 am on Christmas Day.
