Finding connections with God - Father Son and Holy Spirit

Are you interested in trying something new in 2021?

Our new Alpha Online course will start with a taster session, via Zoom, on Sunday 10th January, at 7pm.  It’s an opportunity to find out a little bit more about Alpha, the course content, and also gives you a chance to meet with others who are also interested in doing the course.

Alpha is for anyone who is interested in exploring more about the Christian faith.  The series includes a set of online videos which provides the foundations for an informal group discussion.

If you would like to sign up, please do so by filling out this form.  Alternatively you can contact one of our Alpha representatives via email at alpha@ilkleyallsaints.org.uk or via telephone on 01943 816035.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Have you seen our All Saints Ilkley Advent Calendar yet?  Throughout December we will be journeying deeper into the joy of Christmas whilst also bringing you the key events leading up to Jesus’ birth.  We will also be sharing some beautiful historical images of Ilkley at Christmas time in years gone by.  Check out our social media pages for regular updates!

Yes, that’s right, Quiz Night is back!  Join us on our YouTube channel on Saturday 31st October at 7pm for another great evening!  We will once again be raising money for the Ilkley Foodbank who continue to support many people in our area.  More details about how you can donate will be communicated nearer the time.

This Sunday, 12th July, All Saints Ilkley will re-open its doors for private prayer.  The building will be open from 1pm to 3pm every Sunday and anyone is welcome to come to the church for a short time of individual prayer and reflection.  In order to maintain social distancing, we will allow a maximum of six people in the building at any one time.  If you do visit us, and we have reached maximum capacity, we may ask you to wait outside for a short while until a space becomes available.  To find out more about what to expect when you visit the church, please watch the video below:

The Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) is one of our four Mission Partners here at All Saints Ilkley.  Our main connection is through the Parker family and prior to the lockdown we were looking forward to welcoming them to Ilkley to hear more about their mission and ministry in Uganda.  Although they can’t be with us in person, we were really pleased to be able to catch up with Andrew via Zoom last week.  To hear more about the work of MAF, click on the link below.

This Friday we will have a new Dots session going live on our YouTube channel at 10am.  If you fancy some tasty treats for afterwards, why not try making our crunchy lemon cake?

Traditionally, the second week in May has been a week for giving to Christian Aid via the familiar little red envelopes in church or through our street collections.  This year, due to the coronavirus emergency, we’re not able to collect your donations in the usual way, but the need is – if anything – even greater, as some of the world’s poorest countries try to cope with the virus, on top of all the other problems they face such as a lack of clean water, healthcare and education.

Please remember them in your prayers.  And you can still give your financial support!  We’ve set up an e-envelope, which allows you to make an online donation quickly and easily, with the money going directly to Christian Aid.  Please go to All Saints e-envelope.  Alternatively, you can call 0207 523 2269 to make a donation over the phone.

Join us for our next Quiz Night, this Saturday at 7.30pm!  We will be live on our YouTube channel with a brand new set of questions to put your knowledge to the test!  To subscribe to our YouTube channel, search ‘All Saints Ilkley’ and hit the subscribe button.  All are welcome to join us!
