All Saints' Refugee Ministries
Refugee Ministries is rooted in the transforming relationships that develop between All Saints’ members and families that have had to flee their homelands due to war.
Serving, Inside and out.
All Saints' is committed to community — both our community and the community we share with our neighbors. We have tons of volunteer opportunities happening all the time. Join us in serving with and among our neighbors as we seek to follow Christ where steeple meets street.
Current Opportunities to Serve
Sunday Callers
Help Deliver Hydrangeas to Fellow Saints
On Sunday, March 21 (Lent 5), the Sunday Callers invite you to help deliver hydrangeas from the altar to fellow parishioners. To maintain safe physical distance, volunteers will drive through the upper parking deck at All Saints' from 12:00-1:00 p.m. to pick up a plant and a note to deliver any time during the following week. We will attempt to pair volunteers with recipients who live near their homes as best we can. If you would like to help, please sign up by March 15 and Ellen Porter will be in touch with further details.

Covenant Community
Provide a Monday Meal
During the COVID-19 pandemic, sharing a meal with the men of Covenant Community in-person is still not possible, but a supportive procedure is in place. Until further notice, volunteers can drop off dinner at Covenant Community's front door on Spring Street any time during the day. After dinner, the men would very much like to do a Zoom meeting with the parishioner(s) so that everyone could virtually get together. Your participation will be very much appreciated.
Please click here to inquire about providing a meal and Barbara Blender will be in touch to help coordinate.
