The Rev'd Canon Robert McTeer SSC, Vicar of West Auckland delivered this year's All Saints' Day Sermon.

Fr Price exhorts us to consider how generous God's invitation to us has been, and how we can generously invite others to find a new life in Christ.

St Paul tells the Philippians (and us) that there is 'no need to worry'. But his teaching isn't just sentimental. He gives us tools to help keep us from anxiety and to find peace in the providence and goodness of God.

Bishop Hazlewood reminds us of the wonderful salvation Jesus offers St Matthew, calling him from his tax collecting, away from all his wealth and privilege to become a disciple. May we respond to Christ's call today!
