Welcome to the Website of All Saints Church - Appley Bridge.

We are a Church of England (Anglican) parish situated in the suburbs of Wigan, England, and we extend a warm welcome to all.

Visitors are always very welcome to join us at any of our services.
Whether you consider yourself a christian or not, have faith or still searching for answers. We ask you to come and join us and share in learning about Jesus.

Our Sunday morning worship services attract people of all ages. After all we are just like you. We have the same daily worries about our loved ones, money and the state of the planet. Children can meet in their own group during the service and the little ones can find toys to play with at the back of church. Our "Service of the Word" is more relaxed, and children who attend All Saints School will recognise it. Refreshments are served afterwards and FairTrade goods are availble too.

Your Old Spectacles

All saints primary school is collecting unwanted spectacles for Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Africa as part of Campaign Sightfirst Vision for All.
Its a sad fact, but by the time you have read this, at least one child in the world will have gone blind.
Please donate your old spectacles via the box at the back of church or deliver them to All saints school.

Recycle used postage stamps for Galloway’s Society for the Blind

Jonathon Lowe is still collecting used stamps however, this time he is handing them over to Galloway’s Society for the Blind.
Galloway's is a unique charity based in Lancashire, supporting over 6,000 local blind and partially-sighted people of all ages, across the County. This is achieved through a variety of services.

Galloway's is a registered charity and relies entirely on the generosity of the general public, partnerships with other organisations, and a band of 450 volunteers.

If you have any new or used UK or foreign stamps please hand them in at church (there is a collection point in the entrance).

Keep all your stamps:

• First Class and above.
• Second Class and below.
• Foreign and commemorative.

The charity can raise money from both British and foreign stamps. For British stamps higher denominations (above 25p) are preferred.

Stamps are sorted by volunteers into categories and then sold to dealers or collectors. They are mostly sold by weight, if they can identify any valuable stamps they can be sold for a higher price.

In a past collectinon for the RNIB Jonathon colected an astounding 2 stones (28lb) of stamps.


Please can you cut or tear to within 1 to 2 centimetres of the stamps border before you hand them in.

We like to say thanks to everyone who has donated stamps so far. Keep them coming!

Church Wardens:

Coming soon:
The website is still under construction. But you can expect to see some changes very soon, I promise.

On the development server, things are taking shape. A search the bible function (the random bible quote below has been a test of the technology), a calendar showing forthcoming church events and Christian festival days.

There will be new content, with articles and beginners guides on a number of topics and the church magazine on-line back-issues.
If there is anything you would like to see on the website, please contact stuart taylor.

Since the launch of this page (21/07/2005) we have received 18395 page views with the busiest month being September 2005 (917 Visitors).

I'm hoping 2006 be even busier. I'm only sorry it has taken this long!

Random Bible Reading:

The book of Genesis.
Begining to read at chapter 38 verse 25.

²⁵ As she was being brought out, she sent a message to her father-in-law. I am pregnant by the man who owns these, she said. And she added, See if you recognise whose seal and cord and staff these are.²⁶ Judah recognised them and said, She is more righteous than I, since I wouldnt give her to my son Shelah. And he did not sleep with her again.²⁷ When the time came for her to give birth, there were twin boys in her womb.²⁸ As she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand so the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it on his wrist and said, This one came out first.
