The holidays are usually time for joyous celebration, seeing family and friends, making new acquaintances and enjoying a time of relaxation and celebration. But it doesn’t always go that way, and sometimes the holidays can be especially difficult for those who have lost family, friends, or loved ones.

Late last year, Christ The King Anglican Church asked their Congregation and the local Portuguese Community in the town of Almancil a simple question: RUA Spec – Saver?

At Christ The King Anglican Church in Almancil this past weekend they were all constituent parts of the joyful Sunday Morning Service to mark the end of the Alpha Course which has been running since January in Tavira.

On a bright and sunny autumn day in the Jardim das Comunidades, Almancil, the congregation of Christ The King turned out in force to thank the people who do so much to help, support, and care for the members of the community who need it most.

Like everyone else in our community the last 2 years have taught All Saints Anglican Church a great deal. It has been a season for “new beginnings” and “firsts”.

Last Sunday, in brilliant sunshine, All Saints Anglican Church Algarve were delighted to welcome Rafael and his mother Ana to their service at The Church in the Park in the Jardim das Comunidades, Almancil.

In the Christian Church, Wednesday 2nd March 2022 is the beginning of Lent, the 46-day period leading up to Easter and for some Christians this a time marked by sacrifice or fasting. In many Churches this time of year a common topic of conversation is “so what are you giving up for Lent?”

After a brief suspension of in person worship services over the Christmas and New Year period, The Church in the Park, All Saints Anglican Church Algarve, recently opened its doors again in glorious sunshine.
