All Saints’ Episcopal Church
We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally
through Jesus Christ
 
THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS:
 
 From the Rector:
 
 
A big thank you to all who planned and prepared for our annual parish Christmas dinner!  The food was delicious and fun and fellowship was had by all.
​
​
This Wednesday, December 20th, we will have our last Advent Evening Prayer at 6:00 pm followed by a soup supper.  We travel this final week to Epiphany, Laurens where I will give the homily.  These four Wednesdays in Advent are important in our corporate life as we prepare for the Incarnation.  Please come.  Also, I encourage you to bring a friend and make this holy time of anticipation special.
 
On December 24th our regular 10:30 am service will take place as we celebrate the last Sunday of Advent.  At 10:00 pm we will begin our celebration of the Incarnation of our Lord as we come together on Christmas Eve.  I hope that you will join us for both the last Sunday of Advent and this wonderful celebration marking the beginning of the season of Christmas.
 
Just a reminder, there will be no Christian Formation this Sunday nor next, December 31st. We will resume at 9:30 on January 7th, 2018.
