From the Children and Families Minister…
Hello Sheffield! (said in a rockstar sort of way to the crowd)
Hi, I’m Tony Harris, the new Children and Families Minster.
The short version intro is I am a Midlander from Coventry, married to my beautiful wife Sarah, we have four awesome boys Euan, Nate, Cody and Oscar, one dog, three chickens, three rabbits and two Guinea pigs.
I love Rugby (both Union and League), Football (Coventry City), in fact most sports, rock music and most importantly, Jesus!
I am so excited to be here with you all at All Saints and cannot wait to start getting my teeth into things and working with the amazing team you already have here. I also wanted to thank you all for the warm welcome so far, we have all felt very welcomed and we are looking forward to being part of this awesome family and fellowshipping with you all.
So please do introduce yourself, I will do all I can to remember names (no promises made) and yes, I will be looking for advice, help and leaders, so watch out!
Thank you, Bless you.
Tony Harris
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labour: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12)

Church News
New Toddlers Assistant
We’re delighted to welcome Nicole Adams to our Toddlers Team. Nicole brings a wealth of experience working with children and families, and we look forward to her joining us with her infectious enthusiasm for life and heart for sharing God’s love with our youngest visitors. Please do give her a warm welcome and keep her in your prayers as she begins this role.
Bapitsm and Confirmation
All Saints will be hosting our annual evening service of baptism by full immersion and confirmation on Sunday 28th June. We are delighted that Bishop Leah will be joining us for the first time to lead this special occasion.
This service is always a highlight in our church calendar, so please do mark the date and begin thinking about who you might invite - especially those considering the important step of beginning, or publicly affirming, their Christian journey. Baptism and confirmation are significant moments that help us do exactly that.
If you have completed Alpha, attended our young people’s house party, recently joined the church, or have not yet been confirmed and would like to fully align yourself with our community, we would love to hear from you. We have welcomed many in these situations before.
If you are interested, please speak to Ruth or a member of the clergy team. We will then invite you to join us for preparation and briefing sessions led by Cam and the clergy team.
Prom Wear Needed!
On May 17th we will be holding a nearly-new sale of Prom wear: suits, dresses, shoes and accessories. We are looking for donations of good quality prom wear for all young people! All funds raised will be given to: our mission Church and Community Mobilisation project in Tanzania, Weston Park Research into Head and Neck Cancer in memory Molly, of a young woman from our parish, and Africa's Gift.
All donations left should be clearly labelled as 'Prom wear sale.' Your donations can be dropped off at:
3 Bents Green Road, S11 7RA, and left in the porch
6 Burnt Stones Close, S10 5TS, and left under the covered area by the side door
Off the Canvas Cafe, S1 4QW.
Please contact Charlotte Driver lottie@lottiethedoula.co.uk if you have any questions about the event - full details to follow.
Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme - Thank You!
We are very grateful for all the small donations throughout the last tax year on which we could claim an extra 25% from HMRC through the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme. By the 5 April these exceeded the £8,000 limit allowing us to make the maximum claim of £2,000 for 2025/26. All funds go to support the ministry and mission at All Saints, as we seek to grow God's Kingdom in this place. So please continue to give as you are able as we start the new tax year.
Electoral Roll
The Electoral Roll is fully renewed every six years – this was last done in 2025. If you did not join the Electoral Roll last year or have joined the church since then then you are welcome to apply. You need to apply by the end of this Tuesday 28th April to join the Electoral Roll before this year’s APCM.
You can apply either online using the button below or by completing a green form available at the back of church. We would particularly encourage anyone who has moved house in the last year to get in touch.
Updated consent forms: To enable us to contact you with church news and other important information we need to have an up-to-date consent form. If you didn’t complete one last year, you can complete one online via MyChurchSuite using the button below or complete a pink form available at the back of church.
Homestay Opportunity
Akito Hari is a 19-year-old Japanese student hoping to spend part of his summer in the UK to gain overseas experience and improve his English. His father, Pastor Yoshiya, is seeking a Christian homestay family and notes that the family will cover all expenses (food, utilities, accommodation). Akito would be happy to help with household chores and participate in church services, worship, and youth activities. Akito may not spend the whole summer in Sheffield, but if anyone is able to host him for a few weeks, please contact Ian Walker for details: igwalker@hotmail.com Tel: 07585 144 672.
Are you an Empty Nester?
Do you have time, energy, or experience to share? Girlguiding urgently needs leaders for girls aged 4–14. Due to recent departures, some units have closed and more are at risk. Ecclesall units (linked to All Saints) are full with waiting lists. Many leaders are church members, and this is a great way to serve. Full training and support provided. Find out more at girlguiding.org.uk or email southwestdc@girlguidingsheffield.org.uk. Help girls discover they can do anything!

Please pray for Tony Harris, our new Children’s Minister, as he settles into his new role, and for Tony’s wife Sarah and children as we welcome them into the All Saints church family.
Pray for Revd Roland Slade on Wednesday and Thursday (29th-30th) as he spends two days on the first half of a mentoring training course with the diocese which will be completed in June.
Mission Prayers: Aanandit (Nepal) - Milan and Shusma
Many of us will have seen the video of Milan and Shusma, asking us to pray for them and their ministry of church planting, supporting young girls and employment support, amongst other initiatives.
They particularly ask us to pray for the new government that they may do what they promised in the election. They also ask that there would be freedom to all religions, to bring peace and openness for the gospel.
In addition, they ask us to pray for their young people, especially those of a marriageable age that they would find a good partner and job within the country.
