The Christmas Tree Festival on the
weekend of 27-29 November drew in huge numbers of people - especially on the Saturday when there was a queue to get into the church! 61 trees were on display all imaginatively decorated to the theme "Christmas Customs".
More than £4,300 was raised plus a further
£650 when a donated gold coin was sold. Thank you to all involved. |

More Cash needed
|
|
We need to raise at least a further £500,000 if the work is to be completed. It is a huge sum and you can assist.
You can help in a number of ways:
*By making a donation direct to us at the address below. We regret that we cannot accept credit cards at the moment.
or
* By organising an event to benefit the Trust or by leaving a bequest to the Trust in your will. This way your money will go on
helping All Saints after you have gone. If the Appeal is successful the Trust will continue to manage money given to ensure that it will be available for future repairs and maintenance on the church and its grounds.
or
* Why not make provision for All Saints Preservation Trust in your will? A legacy will ensure that your money will go on helping to
maintain Leighton Buzzard's oldest and finest building for future generations to use and enjoy. And we record all donations.
or
* Nominate the Trust in lieu of flowers in memory of a loved one.

Cathedral Choir Sang for All Saints
|
|
The boys' and men's choir of St Albans Cathedral
sang for the Trust in All Saints on Saturday 6 March. It was a sublime experience! Thank you to them and to all who came along to listen. The event raised just short of £1,000.
As in previous years we are appealing for unwanted or
duplicated Christmas presents for sale on our stall in Church Square at the May Fayre on 3 May. Please drop them into the Leighton Buzzard Observer Office in Bridge Street as usual. |
