A Prayer for the First Sunday after Trinity

Lord, I pray that just as Matthew arose and followed You, we too would have the courage to

heed Your call in our lives. Give us the strength to leave behind the customs and practices

that hinder our walk with You, just as Matthew left his tax booth to embrace a new life. Help

us to recognize the invitation You extend to each one of us, inviting us into a relationship that transforms and redeems.

Amen

(1) All Saints Cafe: Love Mondays

We’re delighted to announce the soft opening of our new café space at All Saints Church,

Ryde, which started Monday 11th May 2026, ahead of our full launch in September.

Join us for Love Mondays, our weekly dedicated wellbeing day, running every Monday from

8:00–12:00. Enjoy complimentary filter coffee, tea, and baked cakes and treats, with barista made coffee also available for a small donation.

This is a relaxed and welcoming space for all — a great opportunity to connect with others,

explore the newly renovated church, and find out more about church life, including Alpha,

upcoming events, and our Love Your Neighbour projects.

We’d love to see you there and welcome members of our local community each week.

Joan is having a celebration party on June 10 which is her birthday. This will be held at

Ryde All Saints Church Hall because of the numbers attending.

All are very welcome to join her but she is insistent that there are to be NO presents and

only FAMILY flowers.

She is going to have a collecting bucket at the party and suggests a £1 donation from

each person which will go Abbeyfield to help towards the cost of the party.

Note: please inform Aubrey if you intend to go, as numbers are needed beforehand.
