A Note From the Rector
Dear Saints,
As Martin Luther King, Jr. reminds us, "Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve." This Sunday, we will be especially mindful of the Christian vocation to service that we share on and off our block. Matthew Soerens, U.S. Director of World Relief, an international non-profit specializing in refugee resettlement, will be our forum speaker in Ellis Hall. Also in Ellis throughout the morning, there will be tables set up for an open house for service ministries at All Saints' where you will be able to find out more about the ways by which you might further incorporate service to others as part of your walk of faith. I pray that as you serve many through the life of this church that you will continue to be a blessing to others and they to you.
Peace,
|

Email Phishing Scam
We've seen a significant increase in fake email addresses that impersonate Simon, often asking for a quick response or favor and then asking for gift cards. Please do NOT respond to these types of emails. Alert us if you receive one and then report it as spam to help others avoid becoming victims. All email communications from clergy and staff will always come from our official All Saints' email accounts, which end in @allsaintsatlanta.org, and we will never ask you for money outside of a pledge campaign. We've created a web page with more information, including tips to help you identify email phishing scams and report them.
