Dear saints,
On Sunday we will host a ‘Fruits of the Spirit’ party in the courtyard, as some of our children celebrate the end of a season of their growth in faith at All Saints’. The invitation I will offer during the service on Sunday will be simple: to get to know a child in the life of our community you’ve yet to meet before. My hope for our parish is that we become more and more a church for all ages where children and youth feel and know that they belong here in every way. It has been a challenging time for many of our children navigating school and home through a pandemic. I rejoice that we are a place in their lives that is able to support and encourage them. I rejoice further that we are a community that is enriched by the lives of faith our young people share among us. So, come join the party on Sunday and help us be the village in the lives of our children.
Peace, |

From the All Saints' Stewardship Archives...
"I have prayed about what All Saints' is for me in my life. It is grace, hope, love, forgiveness and community. It is a place where you are wrapped in the arms of God where music and liturgy fill your heart and soul, replenishing your spirit and then sending you forth in peace to love and serve the Lord."
—An All Saints' parishioner in 2001 |
