News Flash:
The Revd Malcolm Raby, has left the building........
You will know that after twelve exciting and
at times challenging years with us here at All Saint's Church Longstanton, sadly the Revd Malcolm Raby
and his wife Sue have left us.
Malcolm has worked very closely with the Friends
of All Saints' Church Longstanton in its on-going efforts of raising much needed funds for the continued upkeep
and restoration of All Saints' Church Longstanton.
We are going to miss Malcolm's ministry, leadership
and spiritual guidance as he moves on and because we will have no ‘Priest in charge' we enter a
period of what is termed by the Church as an ‘Interregnum'.
Apparently during
an interregnum, our Churchwardens automatically become the trustees of the church and helped by the PCC [Parochial
Church Council] will be responsible for ensuring that services are maintained, that the pastoral needs of our parishioners
are looked after and that the vicarage and any other property of the church is also looked after.
We are fortunate
that the Revd Valerie Kilner will be providing part-time clergy support
during this period and along with the Churchwardens may be contacted for information about weddings,
baptisms, funerals or any other ‘clergy' matters.
Obviously the Friends of All Saints' Church Longstanton will continue with
their primary task of raising funds for the continued upkeep and restoration of the church and as you would expect during
this period of uncertainty for our church here in Longstanton they will also be providing support to the Churchwardens
during the interregnum.

'Friends of All Saints' Church, Longstanton'. You will see that we are mindful
of our rich history and the inheritance that we now enjoy passed on to us by the faith of countless persons who have worshipped
here in Longstanton through the ages.
In September
2007, our Church re-opened having been closed for four years due to parts of the plaster from the ceiling.
Information about this event, what we do, our services and how to get to All Saints' Church are included in
our website and a very warm welcome awaits you when you visit us.
If you cannot visit us, please take time to have a tour of our Church via our website. We
would be delighted to receive a message from you, particularly if there is more information that you would like to see on our
website.

The Friends of All Saints Church Longstanton are
pleased to welcome you to the new web site. The Friends of All Saint's Church Longstanton is
a registered Charity [Registered Number 1115069]set up to oversee the maintenance, repairs, restoration, preservation,
reconstruction and beautification of All Saint's Church Longstanton through fund raising and contributions to the Church.
Full details of the ‘Friends of All Saints Church Longstanton’, the status of the Charity and how you can contribute to the key objectives of the
Charity can be found on the 'Friends' page link.
'All Saints’ Church is a very ancient building and an important
memorial site for the thousands of RAF Bomber Command Aircrew who perished during World War II. No 7 RAF Squadron Association, currently still operational, is the last of the RAF Pathfinder Squadrons to be linked to our Church and
an annual service is held at the Church to commemorate those within the Squadron who gave their lives in the service of their
country.
This website allows us to reach people we may never have been able to contact before. We are always striving to find new ways to get our message
out to past, current and prospective new members of our Church and village community.
Our website will also
be a source of useful information to those that have long left us, but still wish to keep in touch with what is going on,
not only within the Church but also the wider community.
We hope you use this website to access the information you need about our Church
and as a resource for broadening your faith. We have provided links
to other websites that may be of interest to you and we look forward to hearing from you and answering any questions
you might have.
