All Saints’ Episcopal Church
We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS: From the Rector: Alleluia! Christ is risen! Yes, it is still the Easter season and therefore perfectly correct to still be greeting one another this way. Thanks to all who worked so hard to make Holy Week and Easter Day so special. From the choir and altar guild, to ushers, lectors, Eucharistic ministers and flower arrangers. I also want to especially thank our senior warden, Jenks Howe, for helping make our Easter drop-in so successful. I think we all enjoyed it greatly. This Sunday we say good-bye to our Canterbury peer minister, Anna Shuford, who graduates on May 11th. Anna has also been a faithful lay minister here serving as both acolyte and Eucharistic minister. Please make every effort to be here to wish her well in her new position at Mount Vernon Presbyterian School in Atlanta. Alicia and I are glad to be back after our weekend respite at the beach. Thank you to the Rev. Wayne Kinyon for filling in. We’ll be starting back with adult formation class this Sunday continuing Glorious Companions. Sam Wilson will lead the discussion on Madeline L’Engle. See you all Sunday!

We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS: From the Rector: Our last Evening Prayer service is this Wednesday at 6:00 pm at Epiphany in Laurens. Mitchell will deliver the homily so come early to get a seat! We’ll then have a soup supper in the parish hall. This Sunday begins Holy Week with Palm Sunday. I hope you will make this time intentional. Be present. Join in the Liturgy of the Palms and hear again the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ. Come on Maundy Thursday as we remember Jesus’ mandate at the institution of the Holy Eucharist and as the Altar is stripped. Come on Good Friday and remember the sacrifice of our Lord on the Cross. It is an important week in our faith; the center of all that we are as followers of Christ. Howard Pierce will continue to take individual and family photos each Sunday after church in the narthex before coffee hour. These are not intended to be formal; they will be used to make an informal directory thorough our church software. Please make every effort to get your photo taken in the next few weeks. Finally, the vestry and I would like to invite you all to my and Alicia’s house for a casual drop in on Easter Sunday between 4 pm and 6 pm. It is intended to be a time of fellowship and thanksgiving for you, our All Saints’ family. We look so forward to hosting you in our home.
