A time of meditation with readings, music, silence and diminishing light
‘In this service we are drawn from the place we begin into increasing darkness. This as we attempt to recreate the betrayal and abandonment, the agony of the events which lead up to Jesus’ death and the absence of his light from the world.’

All Saints’ Church is situated on the edge of Warwick, in the mainly residential community of Emscote. It is part of the Warwick Team, in the Church of England.
Normally, we hold services every Sunday and on other occasions to which you are very welcome, whether or not you hold a Christian faith. Whatever your needs, problems, joys or beliefs we worship a loving God who welcomes all.
Our main weekly celebration is Sunday Mass (Holy Communion). Through it we seek to worship God in varied and creative ways. See below for more worship.
Christmas Outdoors 2020
Peace, joy and love are the themes of All Saints’ outdoor Christmas tree, which is decked with related pictures, reflections and prayers created by the children of Emscote Infants and All Saints’ C of E Junior Schools. Later, groups of children and teachers gathered for an outdoor, safely distanced Christingle service.
We ended an unprecedented year with Christmas Outdoors being well received across our community, and with live worship happening inside All Saints’ for Christmas Eve and Day. As a new year begins we place our hope and trust in the God of love, joy and peace, who is with us NOW!

THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO BELONG
During the past 150 years there have been three church buildings on our site (see History). Today we are blessed with a modern, flexible, well appointed place, used for both worship and community events. The church’s ‘Contact Centre’ – part of Emscote’s Victorian heritage – is also a valued community space (below).
Above: All Saints ‘new’ church celebrated its 30th birthday in 2019. It is shaped like a ‘Tent of Meeting’. Spring time outside the Contact Centre, below, once school, church…
“Over its 150 year history, worship has always been at the heart of All Saints. I am also very proud that Emscote’s parish church continues to be the setting for many community events and activities: a reminder for me that God’s love is with us always and everywhere.”
Revd. Diane Thompson, Team Vicar. All Saints’ Emscote.
