Gathering Your Contact Details
Over the next few weeks we will be gathering the contact details for parishioners.
The former way in which the Electoral Roll was formed would include people's contact
details – these are no longer collected, which means that we don't routinely have
your telephone number or email details. Even if you have been in touch with us
about a pastoral matter, a baptism or funeral for instance, we don't routinely keep
that information because the Church adheres to data privacy regulations.
You may have been a member of All Saints for many years and in the past were used
to the church and the clergy having your contact details on file – that is no longer
the case, and we have to have your written consent to store your contact details
and your agreement as to why we are storing them. We do not share your contact
details with anyone else. At any time, you can require your details to be removed.
Everyone is welcome to provide their contact details and indeed you are
encouraged to do so.
If you have an email address and are not receiving our updates, PLEASE
give it to Ross or the Churchwardens so that you can be kept in contact with what is
going on. If you or family members are able please visit our website for
prayer resources and also follow us on Facebook and Twitter. Just
search for All Saints Notting Hill. This way we can all keep in touch
Please share news with others and have them get in touch
If you wish to make a donation towards the continued mission of the church
by standing order or bank transfer, please contact the Churchwardens or Ross.
You can also donate £5 to the work of All Saints Notting Hill by texting
ASNH to 70085 (£5 donation plus one standard message rate). The money
will be then transferred directly to the All Saints bank account

SUMMER WINE CLUB!
Today we are celebrating Monsieur Alexandre's 10th anniversary as an
altar server – an opportunity to mark the blessing of his ministry at
God's altar and the excellence in which he conducts his duties.
What could be more appropriate than some champagne for us all.
Veuve Monsigny is named for Madam the Widow Monsigny who inherited the
family vineyards in the champaign region. It's made of the 3 classic
champaign grapes, chardonnay, pinot noir and meunier. The flavour notes are
baked apple, lemon, lime and a chalky minerality. The quality that we look
for in sparkling wines are the bubbles – the more the better and the
smaller the better – creating a mousse. This does well with both. The flavour
profile is Brut. The famous Veuve Clicquot NV Brut is £50+,
Veuve Monsigny NV Brut is £14 from Mr Aldi's emporium. Just saying.
REVISION OF THE ELECTORAL ROLL: This is the time of year when we
carry out the revision of the electoral roll. If there are alterations that are
needed to your entry, such as a change to your contact details, please provide
these in writing to our Electoral Roll Officer, Jennifer Alleyne. Admission to the
roll is for those who are baptised, who habitually worship at All Saints and
are aged 16 and over.
CHOIR MEMBERS, ALTAR SERVERS and SUNDAY SCHOOL LEADERS we would like
to boost these ministries at All Saints. If you are interested in any of these ways
of supporting our life at All Saints please talk with Fr Charles after mass.
Copies of the book The Lord is in Charge! The Life and Ministry of Fr John
Brownsell, are available from Victor Fergus at £5 each.

SAVE ALL SAINT: July/August Update
Many on-line and on-site meetings have been held in recent weeks and
will continue as we seek to understand the full extent of the work
required on the church and identify possible sources of funding. The
diocese has provided a designated funder raiser to help us with the
complex applications to large charities and agencies. It will be critical
that we all engage and contribute to inform this process about the story
of All Saints and why it matters so much that the church remains safe
and open.
Urgent focus remains on the south transept. The extreme hot weather
and the forth coming carnival pose particular stresses to the stonework.
The outside of the south transept must be scaffolded to protect the plaza.
a professional fund raiser who will support us is writing our applications.
The design, assembly and placing of the scaffold for the next six months
will cost about £100K. The parish does not have these funds in reserve
and we are searching every avenue to find emergency funding. The PCC
will likely need to accept a loan if we cannot find these funds very
quickly, for the building must me made safe by the time of the carnival.
The PCC has had to take out two loans totally £125,000 to set up the
scaffolding and the protective fencing. We have received a grant from
the Kensington Area of a further £20,000. These figures will cover the
costs of the scaffolding, which is more complex in design than first
anticipated, and the extensive protective fencing and anti-climb
measures necessary for the carnival period. We can but pray that we will
recoup these funds.
The funding will mostly work by match-funding, whereby we have to
raise 20% – 40% of the total. Typically this means that for every £1000
we raise that would be matched by a further £1500.
As we develop this project updates will be available on the church
website. Designated Donations stated to SAVE ALL SAINTS and offers
of help very gladly received. We need to raise some millions of pounds
– but as we know All Saints is priceless and worth it.
