What are YOU grateful for? We asked this question of the parish, and were blessed to hear from so many of you about what you are grateful for and those things - large and small - we thank God for every day. (Some submissions edited for brevity.)
I am full of gratitude for …
God’s eternal faithfulness, despite our human frailties.
Spiritual growth via virtual prayer and Bible study.
A God who loves us unconditionally and without end! He knows our names, He sings over us, AND knows the number of hairs on our heads!
All Saints leading me on a creative journey and opening me up to God’s generous grace.
Each morning, which brings new opportunities.
Our All Saints clergy, ministry leaders, staff, and their families, who have blessed us, day by day, in full measure. For all that they do to bring All Saints to us virtually. And for their love, prayers, and care for the whole church and beyond.
"This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.” (2 Corinthians 9:12)
Deepening Christian friendship despite social distance.
How loving, good, and gracious God is.
That All Saints Preschool is open in-person this year. It has been life-changing for my family!

For the beautiful parish roof replacement in 2018, that increased safety and helped prevent leaks during this very wet year! (Click HERE to see a fun and informative video from our roofing contractor about the replacement!)
The stunning beauty of this fall season.
Less traffic, less pollution, a less busy calendar, more family time, and new friends I’ve made during quarantine.
Funny Zoom backgrounds!
Gods everlasting love, despite being in a pandemic! And for the time He has provided for us to slow down and be able to have intimate moments with family and friends, even if from a distance. This is from a favorite song: I am Grateful for the things that you have done. Yes, I'm grateful for the victories we've won. I could go on and on and on about your works. Because I'm grateful, grateful, so grateful just to praise you Lord. Flowing from my heart are the issues of my heart…It's gratefulness.

Our families and friends.
All who supported and contributed to the new playground, investing in the future of the children of the parish and the Preschool who will use it.
That our redeemer lives!

All Saints Church!
