The Friends of All Saints Church Longstanton

A very warm welcome to our website which shows key events, our Church services & activities for
February 2012

'Friends of All Saints' Church, Longstanton'. You will see that we are mindful of our rich history and the inheritance that we now enjoy passed on to us by the faith of countless persons who have worshipped here in Longstanton through the ages.

In September 2007, our Church re-opened having been closed for four years due to parts of the plaster from the ceiling. Information about this event, what we do, our services and how to get to All Saints' Church are included in our website and a very warm welcome awaits you when you visit us.

If you cannot visit us, please take time to have a tour of our Church via our website. We would be delighted to receive a message from you, particularly if there is more information that you would like to see on our website.

Link up with WILLINGHAM

You may recall that when The Revd Linda Liversidge was appointed Priest in Charge of Willingham in January 2011, it was the intention of the Diocese that we move towards a Team Ministry with Over and Longstanton.

We are now beginning to make our first tentative moves in that direction. Firstly, Willingham will be included in our monthly magazine- initially the material will be set within the magazine, but gradually it will become incorporated so that we have one magazine for the three parishes. Secondly, we will be running joint evening services from February 2012 - Click here to find further details elsewhere in the magazine.

The Friends of All Saints Church Longstanton are pleased to welcome you to the new web site.

The Friends of All Saint's Church Longstanton is a registered Charity [Registered Number 1115069]set up to oversee the maintenance, repairs, restoration, preservation, reconstruction and beautification of All Saint's Church Longstanton through fund raising and contributions to the Church.

Full details of the ‘Friends of All Saints Church Longstanton’, the status of the Charity and how you can contribute to the key objectives of the Charity can be found on the 'Friends' page link.

'All Saints’ Church is a very ancient building and an important memorial site for the thousands of RAF Bomber Command Aircrew who perished during World War II.

No 7 RAF Squadron Association, currently still operational, is the last of the RAF Pathfinder Squadrons to be linked to our Church and an annual service is held at the Church to commemorate those within the Squadron who gave their lives in the service of their country.

This website allows us to reach people we may never have been able to contact before. We are always striving to find new ways to get our message out to past, current and prospective new members of our Church and village community.

Our website will also be a source of useful information to those that have long left us, but still wish to keep in touch with what is going on, not only within the Church but also the wider community. We hope you use this website to access the information you need about our Church and as a resource for broadening your faith.

We have provided links to other websites that may be of interest to you and we look forward to hearing from you and answering any questions you might have.
