A Note From the Rector
Dear Saints,
Epiphany is that season where we learn ways for our lives to make God more visible, more manifest in the world God has made and loves. This Sunday, during a reception in Ellis Hall between our principal services, we will give thanks for the ministries of several of our worship staff whose tenures are coming to an end at All Saints' and we will learn more of Kirk Rich's vision for music leadership at All Saints' for the time ahead. I do hope you will be able to join us.
Another way that I see us making God manifest among us is in the care that we extend to others, either by our own acts of giving or by the support we offer to others via our networks and friendship circles in Atlanta. Included in my message this week is a letter from parishioner, David Todd, which you can read by clicking here. Should you wish to be in touch with me about David's letter or contact David directly, please do so. We will remain a community at prayer, for David, and for all those whose lives intersect with ours.
Many blessings to you all!
Peace,
|

Why soap? The hotel bathroom is one of the few places victims are alone and therefore one of the best chances to help them. Learn more and register for the event online at
