Join us this morning
Church @ Church at All Saints
Fourth Sunday of Easter and Mothers’ Day
8th May 2022
I’m happy to announce that we’re having Church@Church this Sunday. Praise the Lord! How grateful we are that God allows us to meet together in our own building.
This Sunday I’m happy to announce that we’re starting the Gospel of John. We’re going to look at John’s account of the Gospel in a way that you’ve probably not seen it before!
Sunday is also Mothers’ Day. It is the tradition of All Saints to honour our Mothers. Thank God for your mother. Without her, we wouldn’t worship together! And, as a special treat, all the females at church will receive a surprise after the service.
So come, join us and help tell the story. Here’s the announcement:
Church @ Church this Sunday the 8th May at 10:00am
If you didn’t see the service from two weeks ago (The Feast of St. Mark), you can find it by clicking HERE.
(Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, the service for last Sunday (1st May) is not yet available. However, we’ll let you know as soon as we’ve uploaded it.)
If you have any further questions about these events, or anything else for that matter, don’t hesitate to contact me.
Thank you Church.
Stay vigilant and prayerful.
Love each other deeply and keep Jesus at the very centre of everything you do.
Blessings on all you do.
The peace of our Lord,

David Kitz on God’s Firestarters
God’s Fire Starters
Jan 23rd 2022
Posted by davidkitz in book review
National Chair, The Word Guild
This compact, 137-page volume delivers a powerful punch.
“God’s Firestarters” is about ordinary people who were ignited with passion for the Lord, and in turn, they set scores—and in some cases millions of others—on fire with the love and power of the gospel message.
The book is a compilation of twenty short biographies of Christian leaders who had an extraordinary impact on their generation and the world. Each chapter is about five pages long, and covers the highs, lows, and transformative moments of these world-changing pastors, leaders and thinkers.
The book is chronologically organized as it moves through history beginning with Katharina Luther (1499-1552) and ending with the theologian J.I. Packer (1926-2020). Between those dates we find the stories of eighteen other remarkable men and women who overcame enormous obstacles as they lived lives that powerfully impacted the church and the world.
Authors Ed and Janice Hird have done their homework. Each biography is well-written and thoroughly researched with dozens of endnotes.
These are stories that will build your faith and stoke your courage. I highly recommend this book. It’s a real fire-starter in the best way imaginable.

a fascinating read
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 January 2022
“The marital and family lives of 20 of well-known figures from Christian history, spanning six centuries from Martin Luther to Jim Packer, are brought to life in this book with some fascinating details. For instance, did you know that Martin Luther changed his bedsheets only once a year before he was married? Subsequently, they were changed more frequently!
The book demonstrates time and again that God delights to use fallible people to achieve extraordinary advances for his kingdom – what an encouragement to all of us!
There are no fewer than 717 footnotes, spanning 38 pages, for those wishing to dig deeper into the fascinating lives of these servants of God.”
“Firestarters gives thumbnail sketches of well-known revivalists. Their dedication often came with a price to their health and private life. Yet their passion for Jesus was undeniable, and they shaped history in a way few others have done. I found it particularly fascinating how close the relationship was between Ben Franklin and George Whitefield. I give this book five stars. It should be part of any serious historian’s collection, as well as a great educational tool.”

“In the Bible, Mordecai reminds Queen Esther that she has been placed in her position “for such a time as this.” In their book, “God’s Firestarters”, The Rev. Dr. Ed & Janice Hird recounts the stories of twenty Christian leaders in history who were challenged by the times and circumstances that they faced – plague, illness, death of loved ones, financial hardships, marital problems, persecution, and much more, and how through faith and perseverance they became overcomers and firestarters for God. A well-written and easy to read book, this is one to put on your library shelf to have for personal meditation, for quick historical reference of twenty famous Christians, and for encouragement to see how others throughout history, facing many of the same challenges that we are facing today, were able to be victorious. I pray that it will lead us to realize that whatever our circumstances, we have also been placed here “for such a time as this”.
