THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS:
From the Rector:
        What a joy it has been to come to All Saints.  Alicia and I are delighted to be part of this community.  This week we will have our annual parish meeting.  It is very important that we gather together, not just to elect vestry members and delegates, but to begin to look forward at our future and our ministry.  Please make time to join us this week for worship at 10:30 with the parish meeting following the service.  We also look forward to fellowship at the pot lunch after.
