Weddings

If you are thinking of getting married - congratulations!

At the heart of Christian marriage is the belief that your love for one another is a gift from God himself and in the service there are the words “Marriage is a gift of God in creation through which husband and wife many know the grace of God.”

We love to take wedding services at All Saints and have a beautiful building in which to do that, there are criteria which have to be met in order to have a wedding service at All Saints.

These are:

That one of you has at any time lived in the parish for a period of at least 6 months, or
was baptised (christened) in the parish concerned, or
is confirmed and your confirmation was entered in the register of confirmations for a church or chapel in the parish (this will usually be the case if you were prepared for confirmation in the parish), or
has at any time regularly gone to normal church services in the parish church for a period of at least 6 months

or

That one of your parents, at any time after you were born:

has lived in the parish for a period of at least 6 months, or
has regularly gone to normal church services in the parish church for a period of at least 6 months

or

That one of your parents or grandparents:

was married in the parish

If you cannot demonstrate any of the above connections, you can create one, simply by attending All Saints usual services at least once a month for six consecutive months.

If you are thinking of getting married at All Saints please get in touch with Rev'd Hannah to arrange to meet her or pop along to one of our services and introduce yourselves.

Please also have a look at our information leaflet which gives you further information.

There is also lots of helpful information on this website from the Church of England.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at the Church Building (details here) for our Sunday Service starting at 9.15am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team.

We serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the service. It is a great way to meet people, or simply take time to find your bearings. All refreshments are free.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up.

Our Sunday Service

The service begins at 9.15am with a warm welcome from one of our team members. During our services we will sing songs or hymns, pray some prayers, listen to the Bible, hear a sermon and pray for the world. We also receive Holy Communion, usually every other week.

What about my children?

Children are welcome at all our services. Although we don't have specific groups for children during the morning service, they are always welcome and can often be found getting involved. We also have a room at the back with toys and craft materials for children to use.

Our main service which caters for children happens every Sunday afternoon at 4pm up in the hall at Holy Trinity, Hoghton. Everyone is welcome at 4forAll. This is a very informal service with songs, talking, prayers and crafts.

Getting Connected

Small Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, in the evenings. Check out Small Groups and see if there’s one that you could join, or we can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group
