On the rst Sunday of the month, attendances at All Saints’ Church in Dibden are especially encouraging, having grown in the last couple of years. ese days, we o en welcome between 40 and 50 people to the 9am, and recently 55 peopßle arrived to worship on Sunday 3rd August. Church member Ruth Delacour sometimes reads the Bible, and says: “All Saints’ Church is located in Dibden and is a lovely place to visit. Worship has taken place here for centuries; it is the original of our two places of worship in the parish. It is such a joy to see numbers on the rise, with newcomers of all ages joining us on a Sunday morning to worship together. Many have been married or christened here, or know someone who has been. It’s wonderful to see people deepening their connection with the building, with the church through the congregation, and ultimately with God.” ere has also been a steady growth in numbers at the spring and summer a ernoon Songs of Praise services at All Saints’ Church, o en with 50-plus people attending. e Rev’d Ian McGill says: “We recently celebrated the 70th anniversary of the rededication of All Saints’ Church, after it was destroyed by a bomb in World War 2, affirmed as a ‘Joyful Resurrection’! Numbers have not just increased at the monthly 9am in All Saints’ Church, but at St Andrew’s too. We’ve spoken to people who say their faith is being revived, or are coming to faith. This is a wonderful encouragement.” e 9am service is at All Saints’ in Dibden on the first Sunday of the month, and at St Andrew’s Dibden Purlieu on all other Sundays.
