We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS: From the Rector: As we begin this New Year, I hope you will continue to keep All Saints’, our mission and ministry in your prayers and hearts. Though small, we are active with many upcoming events. This is a recap of last week’s information. Our Adult Formation class begins this Sunday at 9:30 am. The focus will be on C. S. Lewis’ book “The Screwtape Letters”. There are books available for purchase in the Parish Hall. Please read chapter 1 for this first class. Sunday, January 19th will be our next Film and Theology event. The movie chosen is “This Beautiful Fantastic” starring Jessica Brown Findlay of Downton Abbey. We will begin at 5:00 pm with popcorn and drinks. Supper is provided with discussion after the movie. January 26th is the day of our Annual Parish Meeting and lunch immediately following the 10:30 service. We will elect new vestry members, new delegates to Diocesan Convention, and we will also vote on Bylaw changes. As always it is an important day in our common life. All Saints’ Oyster Roast is scheduled for Friday, February 7th. Last year was wonderful, but it also requires “all hands-on deck” to make this event happen. As we get closer to the date there will be sign-up lists for help needed. Please put this on your calendar and invite your friends. Tuesday, February 25th is our Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper. This Mardi Gras celebration occurs to usher in Ash Wednesday and the season of Lent. All Saints’ continues to be blessed. We are blessed with gifts of time, talent and treasure. Please add these events to your calendar and plan to participate. They are also wonderful opportunities for evangelism so invite someone to join you as we continue to seek to live out God’s will in our common life. May God continue to bless you in this new year.
