On Sunday 14th September at 6.30pm our guest speaker will be John Hardwick, a very talented speaker and performer and his title will be
‘PASSING ON THE BATON – REACHING THE NEXT GENERATION’.
Everyone welcome.
In a relay race if one runner decides not to bother then the race is over for that team of runners. In a similar way, we as Christians have a responsibility to ‘pass on the baton’ and tell the next generation about God’s love for them. Read more

Visit to the Cambridge Museum of Technology Organised by the Haslingfield Village Society
Wednesday 10th September 2014 at 10.00 am.
We will be taken on a guided tour around the museum, based in Cambridge’s old sewage pumping station on Cheddars Lane. This site was one of the earliest examples of recycling – the city’s rubbish being burned here to produce steam to power the steam engines to pump the sewage. The Museum exists to preserve industrial exhibit material relevant to the Cambridge area, and on the tour we will learn about the development of power from steam, through internal combustion, to electricity.

For the sixth year running, the sponsored walk ‘In the Steps of the Bishop’ will be taking place on Saturday 20 September. We start off from the Chapel of Gonville & Caius College in Cambridge at 10.30 am and finish in Haslingfield Church at around 1 pm where refreshments will be available for tired and thirsty walkers. The walk is undertaken to commemorate the regular walk along the same route taken by Bishop Charles Mackenzie to help with services in Haslingfield. He later went to Africa in the steps of David Livingstone and founded the Christian church in what is now Malawi. All Saints Church and Haslingfield School continue to raise much needed funds for the school and church in the village of Magomero. Go to ‘READ MORE’
