The Saintly Showdown is an initiative from All Saints’ Church, Friern Barnet. There is no charge to take part.
But (you knew that there was going to be a but…)
All Saints’ is a self-supporting community. The cost of our buildings, and the ministry of the clergy, is met through the generosity of our people, and through monies raised renting our hall. People also generously support other charities during Lent and at other points in the year. This year we have supported Homeless Action in Barnet, Crisis at Christmas, and we support Finchley Foodbank with monthly collections, and with our Harvest Bounty.
Our building is very beautiful, but the costs of keeping a Grade II listed building are very high. In recent years, we have had to repair the spire, which is on the Historic England ‘At Risk’ register. We also need to rewire, reheat and relight our building.
Anything that you might be able to give will support our ministry to the needy and our historic heritage.
