Welcome to our Website!

Hello! Welcome to the Church of England Parish of All Saints’ Weston and St Mark’s Shavington online.

 

Redevelopment of All Saints Church
All Saints Church is in need of some urgent repairs to the structural brickwork, particularly around the bellcote and above the window at the east end as well as an upgrade to the (mainly) Victorian heating system; complete redecoration of the interior is also well overdue. Therefore, now seems an ideal time to consider how the building is currently used and what changes might need to be made in order to secure its future not only as a place of worship, but also as a valuable community resource.
As yet, there are no formal plans for the redevelopment of the inside of the building. However, we need your help and input as local residents to work out what changes might need to be made so that All Saints’ Church can become a thriving community space as well as a much valued place of worship. More information can be found here.
Please would you add your views to our community questionnaire?

Covid Measures Update (16/9/21)

  • Face coverings are not mandatory but they are recommended in crowded or enclosed settings and at times when distancing is more difficult to maintain (e.g. when entering/leaving services or receiving Holy Communion).
  • Hands should be sanitised on entry/exit.
  • Where possible, distancing should be observed. If you are not comfortable sitting next to someone from outside your household, indicate this with a card that asks others to leave the space next to you free. These are available at the back of church. Please respect the fact that other people may wish to maintain a distance even if you do not.
  • Holy Communion will be administered as it is now, by simultaneous administration at the chancel steps.
  • Congregational singing is permitted but it does increase the risk of catching and passing on the virus, especially in smaller spaces that are not well ventilated. We are now singing hymns at various points during the service. Please consider wearing a face covering if you feel concerned about the risks associated with singing. You can also watch the service from St Mark’s via our parish Facebook page.
  • You should not attend church if you have Covid symptoms or if you have been advised not to because of your extreme vulnerability to the virus.
  • Tea and coffee are now being served at the end of services. Please continue to take sensible precautions to prevent the spread of the virus such as regularly sanitising your hands and where possible, keeping your distance from others.
