All Saints’ Episcopal Church We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS: From the Rector: As we continue to worship online, please know I miss seeing you all. We continue to have many people watching, which is wonderful, but I miss seeing your faces. I also want to remind you to pray for our world, our nation, those who lead and especially those who have died and their family and friends. As I write this more than 50,000 people have died in the United States. The magnitude of that loss is unimaginable. The pictures below show some of the things we have continued to do here at All Saints’. The brass plaque for our Prayer Garden has been installed. Thank you, Harry Sullivan! We also continue to work on the “lift” near the steps on the side of the church. Harry and Howard continue to work hard to make All Saints’ a place where all are welcomed. Many thanks to them both. Again, the site to join the service each week is www.facebook.com/allsaintsclinton.org. You do not have to sign on or sign up to join the service. I hope by now, all of you have managed to worship with us this way. It’s wonderful to see you greet one another as you begin the service. Please don’t hesitate to call me if you have any questions about how to connect. Continue to be safe and know, as we walk through this Easter season, the truth of God’s love for us as we share that truth with the world.

We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS: From the Rector: You are all in my prayers and I miss you. As we share in Holy Week, please keep each other in your prayers. This week we walk with Jesus as he shares the seder meal with his disciples and as he is crucified and dies. The services of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday will be at 6:00 pm and will be streamed. We have ironed out some of the wrinkles of the first week and I think it is going well. I hope it can be a time when we will be together though physically separated. Make this time an important time in our common life. The site to join the service is www.facebook.com/allsaintsclinton.org. You do not have to sign on or sign up to join the service. If you have any questions about how to connect please let me know. Continue to be safe and know, as we come to Easter, the truth of God’s love for us as we share that truth with the world. Lastly, Jan Melara has graciously offered to make masks for members of our congregation. She has supplies but could use additional filter material for the inside of the masks. Blue disposable shop towels work well for this and if anyone has any to donate, please let Jan know. You can call or text her at 864-684-4930 with material donations or to request a mask.
