All Saints’ Episcopal Church
We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS: From the Rector: This Sunday we continue with our Adult Formation class at 9:30 am. We are reading Glorious Companions by Richard Schmidt. This week we are focusing on the 5th chapter. Please join us! Coming in early March, with the help of Mitchell Felton, we will be offering a class entitled “Be the Bridge – The Bridge to Racial Unity”. To jumpstart this program, the first endeavor will be a group discussion class of no more than 8-10 people that will focus on foundational principles that every white bridge builder needs to understand. This helps white individuals understand that the very work of racial reconciliation within our church begins with quiet self-reflection and learning. If you are interested in participating in this group discussion, please let Alicia know. You may email her at [email protected] or call her at 803-360-5247. The group is looking at meeting once a month beginning on Sunday, March 3rd from 5pm – 7pm at the church. Also coming up in our parish life is the All Saints’ Oyster Roast! We are renewing this tradition this year on Saturday, February 23rd beginning at 4:00 pm. Tickets are 35$ each for adults. All are welcome and encouraged to bring friends. The Oyster Roast is also being advertised in the community and tickets can also be purchased at Tapestry, Bishop Tires, and Adair Apothecary in Laurens. A sign-up sheet is available to help in any way as many hands are needed to make this event a great success. 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. C+ Upcoming Events: Wed.
