Who We Are

Who We Are…

At  All Saints, we enjoy life in the family of Jesus and the blessed assurance that we are the beloved children of a limitlessly loving God.

Our family life is filled to overflowing with joyful activities grounded in Christian love.

  •       We worship together.
  •       We support one another.
  •       We work together.
  •       We have fun together.
We are growing in faith together, and we are learning new ways of being the Church as we seek and serve Christ in one another and with God’s children throughout the world.

We invite you ever more deeply into life in our family, where we “share in the inheritance of the saints in light."

Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper
Mark your calendars for Tuesday, February 21st when we will celebrate Shrove Tuesday with our annual Pancake Supper. The supper is hosted by the youth who will be making their J2A Pilgrimage to the New York City this June and their families. The dinner will have continuous serving from 5:30-7:30pm. We will once again have our “White Elephant Raffle” which was a huge hit last year! Please bring your palms from last year. We will burn them that night to make ashes for Ash Wednesday. This event is a fundraiser for the youth and the donation is $5 for adults and $2 for children.
Consider Being a Host… It's Easy, Fun...

and a Necessary Ministry

We are blessed that “Coffee and Conversation” is a thriving and vital part of our Sunday mornings at All Saints.  It is the opportunity that we have immediately following the 10:30 am service, to gather for refreshments in the narthex and offer hospitality to each other as well as meet our new guests and introduce them to our friends.  It is an easy and fun way to serve one another in Christ and in love.

Please consider getting several friends together OR just sign up by yourself and we will place you in a group.  What makes this so easy is that you
do not need to provide the refreshments! You set up, make the drinks, serve and clean up.  You do a little bit before, attend the service and then serve and clean up afterwards. Click here to view the C&C current serving schedule.

If you, your family or a group of friends would like to be a part of this important ministry, please contact Sooz Edwards.

Supporting Your Church Has Never Been Easier!

Does this sound familiar? You are getting ready for church and running a little late. In an effort to get to church on time, you dash out the door, jump in your car, and head for church not realizing, until you arrive at church, that you have left your pledge envelope sitting on the kitchen table…or how about this. You are already at church. As the offering plates are being passed around, you realize you left your pledge envelope at home and decide to write a check but instead find you have left your checkbook at home as well. If these or similar circumstances sound familiar, you are not alone. There is however a way to prevent this from ever happening again. It is called “Online Giving” and it is now available through our All Saints website. To learn more, hover your mouse over the “Giving” tab in the main navigation menu at the top of this page, and look for Online Giving, or go there now by clicking “Online Giving”.
