Saturday 2nd November, 10am – 2 pm
On Sunday the 3rd November we celebrate again our medieval parish church’s dedication to ‘All the Saints’. It reminds us that our church has stood proud and strong at the heart of our village through storms, wars, village festivals, in both sad and happy times, since 1352. Like all old buildings it needs on-going repair and updating for this new century. It needs the support of local ‘saints’ such as yourselves. Read more
A service for Haslingfield, Harston and The Eversdens to remember loved ones who have died will take place in Harlton Parish Church on Thursday 31st October at 7.30pm. During the service there will be an opportunity to hear the names of people you have loved who have passed away. There will also be a time for candles to be lit to remember those people, followed by a period of quiet reflection. All are welcome to this service.
The Children’s Sunday Club is held at All Saints Church on the 3rd Sunday of the month at 9.30am, whilst the main service is taking place. The children move to the vestry (recently refurbished) after the first hymn, where they listen to a Bible story, do a craft activity and learn a song. They re-join the service shortly before it ends.

HASLINGFIELD WALKS IN THE STEPS OF ITS MISSIONARY BISHOP…
All Saints’ Haslingfield has a fine memorial window to its missionary Bishop, Charles Mackenzie, who prior to his going out to Africa to help combat the slave trade and to help establish the church in what is now Malawi, walked out from Cambridge to Haslingfield on Sundays to help with services in the church. The full story of his life can be found in the display inside the church, but there is now a link between Haslingfield and Magomero, the place where he established a base in 1861. The Church in Haslingfield together with other parishes in the Mare Way Group has helped with renovation of the school buildings, and most recently with materials for the construction of a church building, which is nearly complete.
