All Saints’ Episcopal Church
We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ
 
THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS:
 
From the Rector:
Good morning,
 
This week we introduce new tools for administration at All Saints. Our new software for church membership, finance and accounting is beginning to be used.  This will allow us to communicate more effectively and will also allow you to access your information throughout the year. 
 
I want to thank the vestry for their work to gather the information we need to begin this new system.
 
We are also changing our email system.  We have two new email addresses which have now gone online. Please change your address book to reflect these new emails.  The old email address will not be used.  I will have access to it for the next 30 days to help with transition but after August 15 any emails sent to that address will be unable to be recovered.
 
New email addresses:
 rector@allsaintsclinton.org
Allsaints@allsaintsclinton.org
 
If you see anything on our website or other material which does not reflect these changes, please let us know.
 
As our new committees begin to function, I am excited about the possibilities of new ministries which will not only shape us but will affect the proclamation of the Gospel.  Please find your place as we begin this work and as we look to the fall with new anticipation for what will be.
 
Thanks you again for allowing me to serve.  C+
