All Saints’ Episcopal Church
We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS: From the Rector: Adult Formation at 9:30 will continue with Peter Hobbie for the next two weeks. It is not too late to join – as always Peter holds a lively and informative class. This year we are offering a simple Thanksgiving service at 10:00 on Thanksgiving Day. Please join us. Advent is quickly approaching, and we are again partnering with Epiphany in Laurens for Evening Prayer and a simple supper on Wednesdays at 6:00 pm. On December 5th, the first Wednesday in Advent, we will gather at Epiphany and I will preach at the service. The following two, December 12th and 19th, we will gather at All Saints’ and the Rev. Paul Abernathy will preach. Please make a point to join us in this time of faith and fellowship during this holy season. Stewardship letters and pledge cards have been mailed to the congregation. If you didn’t receive one, please call or email the church office with your updated mailing address. There are also copies of the letter and pledge cards in the back of the church. Please take time to read the letter and pray about how you will respond to God’s work in and through All Saints’. We will bless them at the altar on Sunday, December 2nd.
