All Saints’ Episcopal Church
We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS: From the Rector: Merry Christmas! We are in the midst of this wonderful season and I can’t stop thinking about our beautiful Christmas Eve service last week. Many thanks to all those who served, especially our choir and wonderful musicians, Carol Roosevelt and Patrick Kiley. A lovely champagne reception was held afterwards (thanks Alicia), which I think is on track to becoming a tradition. The new year is upon us and we have a lot planned. Christian Formation classes begin on Jan. 13th at 9:30 am as well as our first Film & Theology series that evening at 5:00 pm. As always, we will provide popcorn and drinks, and then share a pot luck supper after during our discussion. We will end the month with our Annual Parish meeting set for Sunday, January 27th directly following the 10:30 service. New vestry members will be named, and we’ll honor those finishing their terms. Please make every effort to attend on this important day. I continue to pray for each of you. May God bless our work, and may we do his will as we seek to proclaim God’s unconditional love.
