All Saints Repairs Update
The builders BW May will be starting work on the repairs required to the chancel ceiling at All Saints in the week beginning 22 nd August. All Saints will be opened for private prayer as soon as the work has been completed and the church has been cleaned. Our first service at All Saints is likely to be Songs of Praise on 18th September. A further announcement will be made later when the dates have been confirmed.
While All Saints has been closed we have unfortunately noticed a worsening of the cracks in the rear vestry wall and roof apex. The Rochester diocesan surveyor inspected the cracks last week and has advised us to engage a structural engineer to further investigate the issue and advise on next actions. It is likely that the recent hot and dry weather has caused the surrounding ground to contract resulting in some subsidence. When the weather becomes wetter the surveyor suspects there could be further movement in the vestry walls, possibly even reversing the recent movement.
The condition of the Vestry walls and roof apex will not prevent us from re - opening All Saints after the Chancel ceiling is repaired but the surveyor thinks some work will be required later this year and/or early 2023. We will know more when the structural engineer has examined the vestry and reported to us on his findings. A further update will be distributed when we know more.

O God, you declare your almighty power most chiefly in showing mercy and pity: mercifully grant to us such a measure of your grace, that we, running the way of your commandments, may receive your gracious promises, and be made partakers of your heavenly treasure; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you,
Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear than we to pray and to give more than either we desire or deserve: pour down upon us the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things of which our conscience is afraid and giving us those good things which we are not worthy to ask but through the merits and mediation
of Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen
