Finding connections with God - Father Son and Holy Spirit

Alpha is an 11-week course that creates a space where people are excited to bring their friends for a conversation about faith, life and God.  Our next Alpha course will start on Sunday 12th January at 6pm and everyone is invited to come along!  The session will start with tea/ coffee and cake, followed by a short film and then a time of discussion and questions.  If you’d like to come, please email the Church Office (office@ilkleyallsaints.org.uk) so that we have an idea of numbers for catering purposes.  We look forward to seeing you!

Our next Carols by Candlelight service will be held on Sunday 22nd December, at 6.30pm.  All are welcome!  Light refreshments will be served after the service.

Our Light Party is back!  Join us in Church House on Wednesday 23rd October, 3.30 – 5pm, for games, craft and food.  This is a great opportunity to celebrate Jesus, the light of the world, in a time which is often focussed on darkness.  Wear bright clothes if you can and come and come and join in the fun!

On Saturday 21st September, All Saints Ilkley will be opening its doors for its first Heritage Day of 2019.  Join us for children’s activities, a tour of the belltower and much more!  Open from 10am – 12noon and 2pm – 4pm.  This is a free event and all are welcome to come along!

Please note that during August, our service times will change slightly.  Our regular 11am service will move to 4pm in the afternoon.  The majority of the services will be All Age Worship and we look forward to welcoming everyone to worship together in the main Church.  Please note that our regular children’s groups will return in September.

This week our vicar, Revd Mike Coe, is walking the Dalesway to raise money for a children’s and youthworker here at All Saints Ilkley.  Please support him as he works his way back home in just 4 and a half days!  If you would like to donate towards this challenge, please click here.  We will keep you updated of his progress on our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.
