All Saints’ Episcopal Church
We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ
 
THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS:
From the Rector:
 
This weekend the vestry met in retreat.  Our work was centered on our mission and vision for our future.  The vestry has written both a new statement of mission and a new vision statement for our parish.  I want to thank them for their work and dedication to All Saints and the ministry we share.  
 
All Saints’ mission statement:
Through our heritage and committed to diversity, All Saints’ welcomes all and seeks to be transformed through worship, through actions and service; sharing Christ’s unconditional love.
 
 
 
 
All Saints’ vision statement:
We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ.
 
We have also reorganized our committees.  I hope you will join in our common hopes and dreams and the work it will take to live out God’s call through Jesus Christ in this place.  Find your place.   Find your passion in proclaiming God’s love.  The new committees are Worship, Finance, Outreach, Christian Formation, Administration, and Buildings and Grounds.  As we begin, each of these committees will seek to fulfill our common mission.  For us to truly be what God is calling us to be, we will need your God given gifts.
 
May God continue to bless and keep All Saints and the ministry we share.
