In a world of so much uncertainty, pain and grief, prayer is what draws us towards God, towards peace and towards unity rather than towards fear and anger. This Saturday, the 20th anniversary of the tragedy of 9/11, our doors will be open for prayer from 9:11 AM - 11 AM. 

Mother Lisa will be installed as the Sixth Rector of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church on Tuesday, September 14 at 6 PM. Join the celebration at 7801 Lone Star Road, Jacksonville, 32211 or www.youtube.com/standrewsjax.

Thank you to those who have already donated! All Saints will again be collecting donations for Hurricane Relief through Episcopal Relief and Development. ERD are on the ground right now supporting relief efforts in the Diocese of Louisiana and other regional partner areas who have been impacted by Hurricane Ida. This Category 4 Hurricane brought flooding and damaging winds that caused a loss of water to hundreds of thousands and a loss of electricity to over 1 million people. Episcopal Relief and Development is planning to be a part of the long term response in the relief efforts.

If you'd like to help, please consider making a donation over the next four Sundays. You can write a check to "All Saints" and in the memo line write "HURRICANE RELIEF". You can also place cash in one of the church envelopes in the pews and write "HURRICANE RELIEF" on the front. Each week, All Saints will transfer all the money collected for Hurricane relief directly to Episcopal Relief and Development.

If you'd like more information on the important work of ERD, check out their website HERE.

A Sign Up Sheet will be available on the Welcome Stand at the entrance to the church. If you'd like to join the class, please give us your name and contact info this Sunday.

The Men's Breakfast Committee will be serving individually packaged donuts and fresh, hot coffee in the courtyard starting at 9am! It's not exactly the full breakfast buffet All Saints was known for prior to the pandemic, but it's our next step back in that direction! And following the 10am service, the coffee will be refreshed for a "Coffee Hour" for anyone who'd like to gather in the courtyard to catch up with friends at church!

We are back to collecting food for UCOM and they are in desperate need of breakfast foods and canned goods! You are more than welcome to donate almost any food item. Please place all food in the Outreach Barrel just inside the front entrance of the church for our Outreach Committee to pick up and deliver.
