​All Saints’ Episcopal Church
We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally
through Jesus Christ
 
THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS
 
 From the Rector:
 
You should all have received your stewardship packets.  If you have not, please contact the office.  There will also be additional cards in the back of the church on Sunday.  I hope to have all cards returned by December 3rd so we can bless them during our Eucharist.
 
This Sunday I begin a series on the season of Advent during Christian formation.  We will look at the theological and liturgical meanings of the season.  Please come with questions as we wonder together about this season of anticipation.
 
This Saturday will be the last Episcopal Tailgating for PC’s football season.  I hope that you can come and join us.  Bring a lawn chair and we’ll have the food.
 
I continue to give thanks to God for All Saints and each of you.
