All Saints’ Episcopal Church
We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS: From the Rector: Good Morning! I hope everyone had a safe and happy Independence Day. Our last Newsbytes edition was about three weeks ago. In it I indicated we are continuing to withhold in-person worship until at least July 31st. Until we see a significant decrease in COVID-19 cases, that date may be pushed out even farther. As of that day, SC had close to 19,000 cases. Now that number has more than doubled to almost 45,000 and almost 600 cases in Laurens County alone. I pray you are being safe; staying at home when you can, keeping away from large gatherings, washing your hands, and wearing a face covering whenever you are out. We want to be part of the solution stop the spread. I want to highlight a few pieces of information from the diocese. We're once again receiving reports about suspicious emails appearing to come from Bishop Waldo. These sometimes arrive as fraudulent emails or texts that ask for money, gift cards, or other favors posing as Bishop Waldo, or other clergy leaders. Please know that Bishop Waldo has not sent these messages. I have also received text messages from myself asking for the same favors. Please NEVER respond to any text or email from either me or Bishop Waldo or any other clergy member that seems suspicious. Also, we have recently added the ability to make online donations through our website. The donation platform is called Tithe.ly and accepts credit and debit donations. It also allows you to set up deductions from your checking or savings account. There is now a button on the home page of the website called GIVE which will take you to the page to set up your choice of giving. Please consider this option if you would like. Lastly, two outreach opportunities are taking place this summer. The United Thank Offering (UTO) is a ministry of The Episcopal Church for the mission of the whole church. Through UTO, individuals are invited to embrace and deepen a personal daily spiritual discipline of gratitude. UTO encourages people to notice the good things that happen each day, give thanks to God for those blessings and make an offering for those blessings. UTO is entrusted to receive the offerings, and to distribute 100% of what is collected to support innovative mission and ministry throughout The Episcopal Church and Provinces of the Anglican Communion. This year all contributions are being collected by doing an episGOpal walk, run or ride. The funds will be given away to support Episcopal/Anglican ministries directly responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn. More information can be found at https://www.unitedthankoffering.com/race/ #episGOpalrace. When registering, join the team of Upper South Carolina using the password, EDUSC. All Saints’ plans to do a 14-mile bike ride on Sunday, July 26th beginning at 3:00 pm. We will limit the number to 10 to ride together, so please let me know if you’d like to participate. You are also welcome to do a walk, run or ride on your own. Secondly, the Flight of the Dove bicycle ride to raise money for Hospice of Laurens County will take place virtually August 1st – 8th. You sign up and complete the ride of your choice on your own during those 7 days. All Saints’ will have a small group to join in this ride as well. Finally, please keep our nation, our state and county in your prayers. Also keep All Saints’ in your prayers. I hope you will use the parish prayer list as a way to pray. Please call and take care of one another.

We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS: From the Rector: It has been a little more than a month since our last Newsbytes. I hope you all are well. In that time, many changes have occurred. COVID-19 infections are still on the rise, economic and social unrest continues to challenge us. We all want to convene again in person but until South Carolina sees a 14-day decrease, we will continue to stream online each Sunday morning at 10:30 am. As of today, SC has close to 19,000 cases with a 52% increase in Laurens County alone from last week. I hope we are all trying to be part of the solution to see a decrease. I pray you are being safe; staying at home when you can, keeping away from large gatherings, washing your hands, and wearing a face covering whenever you are out. You may feel you’re the only one wearing a mask in a store but wear it as a witness to others because you want to protect them. Our senior warden is working on a letter to send out reminding you of First Sunday offerings. Since we have not worshiped together, we have not been able to send funds to the groups we support each month. His letter will be a reminder to you with a way to continue to support our community and its ministries. I also remind you to keep your pledge up as you can. Our bills continue to have to be paid.

All Saints’ Episcopal Church We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS: From the Rector: As we continue to worship online, please know I miss seeing you all. We continue to have many people watching, which is wonderful, but I miss seeing your faces. I also want to remind you to pray for our world, our nation, those who lead and especially those who have died and their family and friends. As I write this more than 50,000 people have died in the United States. The magnitude of that loss is unimaginable. The pictures below show some of the things we have continued to do here at All Saints’. The brass plaque for our Prayer Garden has been installed. Thank you, Harry Sullivan! We also continue to work on the “lift” near the steps on the side of the church. Harry and Howard continue to work hard to make All Saints’ a place where all are welcomed. Many thanks to them both. Again, the site to join the service each week is www.facebook.com/allsaintsclinton.org. You do not have to sign on or sign up to join the service. I hope by now, all of you have managed to worship with us this way. It’s wonderful to see you greet one another as you begin the service. Please don’t hesitate to call me if you have any questions about how to connect. Continue to be safe and know, as we walk through this Easter season, the truth of God’s love for us as we share that truth with the world.
