The objectives of the Friends of All Saints’ (FOAS) is to work with All Saints’ Church, Emberton, Parochial Church Council to preserve and protect the fabric of the Church and Churchyard, and to raise funds to assist with improvements to make the building suitable for use by the community for a wide variety of activities. 

 

 

All Saints' Church is celebrating a very special anniversary this year as the first Rector, Robert de Emberton, was appointed in 1219 and so this year 800 years of worship in our lovely building will be celebrated. Anniversary events will be held during the year, and we are warmly invited to join them. Visit the church to see the 800 year timeline displayed.  

 

Following on from our successful first planning meeting in March, this is for artists and helpers to sort out any queries and make further plans for our third Summer Art Exhibition. 

 

 

Friday 19th July - 7.00pm Preview evening with Champagne and Canapes, followed by an auction of pieces donated by the artists themselves with all the proceeds going to the FOAS. Tickets cost £10.00 per head and are available from Caroline (712073), Mike (712271) or email Sheila on sheilawatts28@gmail.com. Last year we sold out and there was a waiting list.......so please get your tickets early as numbers are limited. (There is usually a late rush for tickets, but if you do not want to be disappointed, please get them early!) Your tickets to the preview allows further visits to the exhibition over the weekend at no extra cost. 

 

Please tell your friends that the exhibition itself will be open from Saturday - Tuesday inclusive. Further details of the demonstrations and workshops will be available soon. 

 

If anyone can help with refreshments, stewarding, setting up or clearing down, please give Caroline a call on 712073. 

 

Sunday 21st July - alongside the art exhibition, the Church's fund raising committee will be organizing a BBQ in the churchyard with activity for the family - and delicious refreshments.  

 

Another concert is planned, following the very successful Element Strings concert in October 2018.
