Welcome!
The church has been at the heart of the community for over eight hundred years. While village life and landscape have changed much over that time, the church remains home to a friendly and welcoming congregation who do their best to keep it going for future generations. All Saints' is a place for prayer, reflection and worship, where you will find a warm welcome.

All Saints' Day, 31st October 2021
ALL SAINTS’ PATRONAL FESTIVAL 2021
ANNUAL APPEAL
At our communion service at All Saints' Church on Sunday 31st October we celebrated our patronal festival of All Saints. It was Stone's first service with our new Parish Priest Steve Godsell. And to coincide, we launched our annual appeal.
We want to maintain and develop our building and grounds so they can benefit the whole community. We are fortunate to have gifted people who contribute significant amounts of their time to keep the church going in a variety of ways. Such help minimises our need for money, but doesn’t remove it. The Church of England does not pay us for regular upkeep; we rely wholly on charitable donations from ordinary folk to meet necessary costs. Finances continue to be worryingly tight, and we assure you as we renew our appeal that anything you can give will be greatly appreciated; nothing will be wasted.
Gift envelopes will be available in the church once again after a lapse last year due to Covid-19. You can return them to me or to one of our Churchwardens (Naomi Sargent and Andy Fryer), or put them in the wall safe by the South door or in the collection bowl during a service. [If you are a taxpayer, then completing the Gift Aid declaration on the envelope will enable us to claim an extra 25% from the government. Any cheques should be made payable to “Stone PCC” please.]
Alongside this traditional ‘All Saints’ Day’ annual appeal, there’s also a simple scheme for making regular donations. We point this out because, whilst lump sums are always a nice surprise, receiving regular committed donations helps us to plan better and takes some of the anxiety out of budgeting. If you would consider making regular contributions as a “Friend of All Saints” please contact me.
