All Saints’ Episcopal Church
We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS: From the Rector: Our last Evening Prayer service is this Wednesday at 6:00 pm at Epiphany in Laurens. Mitchell will deliver the homily so come early to get a seat! We’ll then have a soup supper in the parish hall. This Sunday begins Holy Week with Palm Sunday. I hope you will make this time intentional. Be present. Join in the Liturgy of the Palms and hear again the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ. Come on Maundy Thursday as we remember Jesus’ mandate at the institution of the Holy Eucharist and as the Altar is stripped. Come on Good Friday and remember the sacrifice of our Lord on the Cross. It is an important week in our faith; the center of all that we are as followers of Christ. Howard Pierce will continue to take individual and family photos each Sunday after church in the narthex before coffee hour. These are not intended to be formal; they will be used to make an informal directory thorough our church software. Please make every effort to get your photo taken in the next few weeks. Finally, the vestry and I would like to invite you all to my and Alicia’s house for a casual drop in on Easter Sunday between 4 pm and 6 pm. It is intended to be a time of fellowship and thanksgiving for you, our All Saints’ family. We look so forward to hosting you in our home.

We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS: From the Rector: What a wonderful time was had this past Saturday at the Oyster Roast! So many of you brought friends and members of our community to share in the fellowship of All Saints’. We couldn’t have done it without all of you. I especially want to give thanks for the leadership of Harry Sullivan and his team of fish fryers, Howard Pierce, and special thanks to members of St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church, Spartanburg who helped steam oysters. But without the gifts and willingness of this parish from servers, ticket takers and greeters to set-up and clean-up crews, this wonderful event could not have happened. We’ll continue the fun with our Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper coming up on Tuesday, March 6th at 6:00 pm. Please come and enjoy yourselves. Ash Wednesday Service will be at 6:00 pm the next day and another on the PC campus earlier at 4:30 pm. Please come! This Sunday we continue with our Adult Formation class at 9:30 am. We are reading Glorious Companions: Five Centuries of Anglican Spirituality by Richard Schmidt. This week we are led by Neal Prater discussing the chapter on George Herbert. Please join us! I will be away this Mon-Wed at Camp Gravatt with the Bishop and other clergy for Pre-Lenten retreat. I will be available if any pastoral emergencies arise. 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.

Newly elected vestry members are Forrest Adair, Jan Melara and Stephanie Sullivan. Also elected were delegates to diocesan convention. They are Jamie Adair, Alicia Davis, Jenks Howe and Dot Wilson with Jane Crawford and Jane Parris as alternates. 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.

We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS: From the Rector: Our Annual Parish meeting is this Sunday, January 27th directly following the 10:30 service. We’ll have an “amplified” coffee hour that day as well. New vestry members will be elected, and we’ll honor those finishing their terms. I also want to thank all who have turned in their pledge cards this year. This helps the vestry better prepare for the coming year as will be discussed in the meeting Sunday. Please make every effort to attend on this important day. Also, giving statements for the year 2018 are available. They will be in the back of the church for you to pick up. 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.
