A Note From the Rector
Dear Saints,
Greetings from Tel Aviv! About a quarter of our group of pilgrims arrived in Israel today, with the other thirty arriving tomorrow. For most of us, it is the very first time we have been to these holy lands, including me. We are filled with expectation and hope. As a way of sharing the experience with the parish as a whole, each day, a meditation will be posted on the following blog: https://pilgrimage.blog. Fellow pilgrims and I will add further comments and pictures, and you are most welcome to offer any comments or replies these next two weeks too. May God bless each of our journeys, outward and inward.
Peace,
|

General
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. 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.
