Announcements

Online Worship– We have temporarily suspended the livestreaming of our services while we address some audio and video issues. Thank you for your patience as we work toward a solution.

Yoga- All Saints is offering yoga, with an insured, certified instructor, for $10/class! Our next class is on Saturday, August 22, at 10:00 am, at St. Cyprian Parish Hall. We do have a few mats available for folks who don't have their own to bring.

Eucharist & Healing Service– Come join us for a Eucharist & Healing Service on Wednesday, August 26, at 11:30 am, at St. Agnes. Everyone is welcome! 

Meet with Father E.R.- Father E.R. would love the opportunity to meet each parishioner. If you have not had the chance to sit down with him and share your story, call the office to set up a meeting.

Fifth Sunday Combined Service & Potluck- Beginning this month, whenever there is a fifth Sunday, we will gather for one combined worship service at 9:00 am. We will continue our usual rotation between our churches for these Fifth Sunday services, and will rotate between a Rite I & Rite II service, beginning this month with Rite I. Following worship, everyone is invited to the Parish Hall for a finger food potluck and a special time of fellowship as we gather together as one church family. Join us Sunday, August 30, for this meaningful event.

A Note from Olivia

As you all know, today is my last day serving as Parish Administrator at All Saints. As I prepare to begin a new chapter, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you.

It has been a privilege to serve this parish and to get to know so many of you along the way. I am grateful for your kindness and countless little moments that have made my time at All Saints so meaningful.

Thank you for welcoming me and allowing me to be a part of the All Saints family. I will think of you all often and wish you all many blessings in the years ahead.

With Gratitude and Warmest Wishes,

Olivia

Ministry

Food Pantry- Please continue to bring items for our "Little Free Food Pantry" for those in need. Your donations will be accepted any day. There is a designated shopping cart in the foyer of the parish hall at St. Agnes and also a designated bin inside the parish hall at St. Cyprian’s. You can find a list of suggested items here. Please do not place fresh foods, i.e. fresh fruits or vegetables, in the free food pantry; though we have a lot of people using the food in the pantry, the frequency of people using it is not high enough to ensure that fresh food does not spoil.

All Saints Outreach meets the fourth Sunday of each month during coffee hour. The next meeting will be Sunday, August 23, at St. Cyprian following the 10:15 am service. Come get your treats and see how we can lift up our community together! 

Ladies’ Social- The Ladies' Social is temporarily suspended due to the busyness of the season and will reconvene sometime this fall. In the meantime, we encourage all of the ladies to stay connected, enjoy fellowship with one another, and share your ideas for future gatherings. 

Men’s Breakfast– The men meet every Wednesday morning at 8:30 am at Normandie Restaurant for breakfast. All men are welcome to join us.
