We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS: From the Rector: Alicia and I are glad to be home after a week away. It was a wonderful week but we missed being with you. This Sunday, October 21st is “PC Sunday”. We are looking forward to a grand celebration of the wonderful relationship we have and have had over the years with Presbyterian College. This week we also will celebrate the adoption of Brandon Parsons-Wells, son of Rachel and Jacob Parsons-Wells, during our service. Our guest preacher will be Peter Hobbie. Make plans to be here and for a reception following the service. There are many events occurring as we move forward in our common life. One is the garden. Take a look at the new sidewalk! Over the new few weeks will begin landscaping. If you would like to give to the renewal of this space, pledge cards are available at the church.

The playground served us well for many years, but over those years it has gone into disrepair. The playground equipment could no longer be used safely. We also had issues with water, collecting from three roof lines into the area and remaining wet due to poor drainage. Additionally, we recognized a need for improved handicap access from the church to the parish hall. Presently, the handicap access to the church has not made it easy for people to go between the church and the parish hall. For these reasons, we need to make improvement to our grounds in this area. We are beginning to work to enhance our courtyard. The old fencing has been removed. New gutters have been installed and new drain lines have been run taking the water from the area to the street. Once the area is dry a new sidewalk will be run from the church handicap ramp to the parish hall. We also have new landscaping plans. One feature of the landscaping will be a reflection and meditation part of the garden. This section will be near the education wing and will include a new dogwood tree, two benches and a statue of St. Francis. This will be a wonderful addition to our parish not just in how it looks but in the ease which those who need the handicap ramp will be able to access it. There are opportunities for you to help make this garden a reality. I want to thank Kay Addison and Carol Roosevelt for helping to put together a plan for giving to support our garden. Please also thank Henry Sullivan for his work in planning the design and implementation. I also want to thank Harry Sullivan and Howard Pierce for their hard work on the garden and continued support for All Saints’ and all we do. The All Saints’ Prayer Garden will provide a beautiful, welcoming, and peaceful place open for prayer, reflection, and comfort for our church family and community guests. Giving Levels Memorial and Honorarium Naming Opportunities St. Peter Prayer Benches (2) $1500.00 St. Francis Statue $1000.00 St. Paul Dogwood $1000.00 The above Naming Opportunities will be recognized on a small plaque near the donated items. St. Matthew $500+ St. Mark $250 - $499 St. Luke $100 - $249 St. John $50 - $99 Donations are welcome at any amount you wish to contribute. Donors of $50 and above will be recognized on a plaque hung in the garden. St. Peter was recognized as the leader of the twelve apostles. Jesus named him Cephus, which translates to “rock”. The stone prayer benches will provide a solid place of refuge for all who prayerfully seek God’s love in the garden. St. Francis is the patron saint of ecology and reminds us to care for all of God’s plants and animals. His presence in the garden gives comfort to all who share his love of nature. St. Paul, a leader and missionary of early Christianity, spread the gospel of Jesus Christ beyond the Holy Land into many countries on the Mediterranean Sea. The dogwood, like Paul, bears witness to Jesus Christ our Savior. The density of the wood testifies of its strength and reminds us to strengthen our relationship with Him. The red tips on the four white petals of each bloom remind us of the blood Jesus shed for our sins. The white of each petal reminds us of His purity and resurrection, which gives eternal life to all who accept His salvation. The dogwood will provide shade for reflection and prayer, as we strengthen our faith. St. Matthew, known as a “tax collector,” was called as an apostle of Jesus. His name means “Gift of YHVH” (a Hebrew name for God). Donors in this level will be making a significant contribution to the All Saints’ Prayer Garden and the beauty it will add to our church. St. Mark, the Evangelist, is honored as the founder of Christianity in Africa. St. Mark donors will provide an inviting space with flowers and greenery for church members and the community. St. Luke, a physician, was a disciple of Paul. St. Luke donors will provide greenery to encourage meditation and spiritual healing. St. John, the “Beloved Disciple” or “disciple whom Jesus loved” remained near Jesus at the cross and followed Jesus’ instruction to care for His mother, Mary. St. John donors are steadfast and loyal like John, contributing so that all may enjoy the beauty of a new “greenspace”. Carol Roosevelt and I were asked to be on a committee with Charles to formulate a plan for parishioners and friends of All Saints' to contribute to the new garden. Because of this and my position on the vestry i have already had the opportunity to consider how I wanted to participate. It brought me back to one of the saddest days I experienced after Tommy died. I was simply taking care of household business specifically removing Tommy's name from our bills. I sat on the sofa and cried while not realizing at first why this task was so emotional. It was as if I were personally taking an eraser and removing one more part of him. I must admit after feeling this way I have left his name on a few things. So, in reflecting on the garden, I see giving in memory of Tommy as a way I can add his name and presence to something beautiful and living. I ask you to consider how you can participate in a small or big way and truly receive a blessing from your gift. We all love our church and it warms my heart to know that Tommy's name can be forever a part of this special place. Kay Addison Copies of this letter along with pledge cards will be placed at the back of the church. Please take one of each to prayerfully consider a gift to the garden. A very special thank you to all who made the Blessing of the Animals such a success. Especially to Clark and Lila McKean who headed up the effort and Lisa Wicks for bringing animals from Laurens Co. Humane Society currently available for adoption to be blessed. Those who set up, cleaned up, brought animal people treats are also appreciated. We will NOT have our make up shag lesson this Thursday. Another round of lessons will be offered early next year. We also will NOT be having Episcopal Tailgating this Saturday as the game is away at Kennesaw St. The next date is Saturday, October 13th at noon. Finally, a big heartfelt thank you to those who offered and helped Alicia and I during our move. Dinner was provided (with many additional meals from that included!), extra furniture and help moving it was given as well. We are in our new home but not quite settled although there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel now. We look forward to hosting church events in the future.

All Saints’ Episcopal Church We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS: From the Rector: The hot days of summer continue as we begin to think about fall and students returning to PC. We are only four weeks away from students coming back to campus. We look forward to a vibrant fall with many opportunities for ministry. Early in September, All Saints’ will have a Sunday focused on sharing all the ways we minister to our church and our community. It will also be a Sunday where we ask you to think about your place here and what you offer to the ministry of Christ, whether as a minister on Sundays or pastoral care or on vestry or to PC or … the possibilities are endless. I hope you will continue to pray about how and what you can do and offer to our common life. Please also be here Sunday by Sunday as an act of stewardship as we continue to seek out God’s will and work. Also note in upcoming events we are highlighting community events, including shag lessons we are offering here at All Saints’ that will run 4 consecutive Thursdays beginning August 30th. Any one is invited to participate – we’re also inviting PC students to join. Please call or email the office if you’d like to sign up. Alicia and I are – please join us!
