Father Trace has announced his retirement, effective 15 January, 2027.
A copy of the letter can be found HERE
Creator God, we thank you for your unfailing love and grace to us, despite our human failings; and we thank you for your Church and its leaders, especially Fr. Trace and his wife, Karen. We pray for them, and for us, as Trace ends his ministry at All Saints; and we look to the future and where you will lead us as your people. We know that you know the way, even when we do not. Please give us faith to do the work you have called us for, and the trust to follow in your way. All this we ask through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen.
Marlin J Haws, 2026

Financial Update: Thank You to everyone who attended last week's meetings about our financial situation at All Saints!
You are making a difference in the well-being of our community!
An Opportunity to Make an Immediate Impact!
Elizabeth Ettenger has generously offered $2,000 to help meet our parish’s immediate financial needs as we work toward long-term sustainability—with one exciting condition: at least two additional families must each contribute a matching $2,000 gift!
Could you be one of these families?
Please prayerfully consider whether you can help us turn this generous offer into at least $6,000 of support for our parish.
Let’s show what we can accomplish when we work together!
Update: We have already had some that answered the call!
We have had six households increase their giving $2k each.
In addition, Elizabeth's original offering was increased by her family trust to $10k. These seven gifts get us so much closer to balancing our finances.
It's not too late to give! As we said last week, even though our deficit for this year is around $50k, we have no extra money in the bank if needed for emergencies.
Please consider if you can still give.
Thank you to all who give!
And, thank you those who have been able to give more!

Pastoral Care & Support:
Pastoral care is a ministry of presence, prayer, and accompaniment. Our clergy are always honored to walk with you in times of illness, transition, grief, discernment, or thanksgiving.
Home Communion: If you are in need of support, please reach out. If you are unable to attend services and would like to receive Holy Communion at home, please contact Deacons Anita or Deanna to schedule a visit. Visits are arranged at a time convenient for both you and the visitor, ideally on Sundays.
If you or someone you know would welcome a call, visit, or prayer, please let us know. It is our joy and calling to be present with you.
You can email any clergy or the church office.

10:30 Fellowship Time
One of the values of All Saints is Fellowship. “Fellowship - A community in the right relationship with God and others, sharing a unity of purpose and spirit in the life of Christ.” is a quote from our Mission & Values statement. Helping with Fellowship Time and participating in our after church gathering time by sitting down with a new member or a visitor helps to build our All Saints Community.
A big thanks is due to all who have stepped up to help the last few months. Thanks to them we have had lots of food to serve at Fellowship Time, on Sandwich Making Sundays, and the Vaccination Clinic.
Looking Forward
Help is needed to make coffee, bring food, and clean up. Do you teach Sunday School or sing in the choir and want to help? You can just drop food off before heading to teach or practice with the choir labeling it 10:30 Fellowship Time and leaving it in the kitchen.
Help is also needed to help with the set up. Just come to the kitchen between 10:00 am and the start of the service. You don’t have to bring food, just arrange snacks on plates and cover them with plastic wrap, and take things out to the coffee table. Cups, plates, napkins, and silverware also need to be put out.
Many hands make light work and your assistance is welcome. Sign up on the Fellowship Time sign up sheet or contact Ann Hollowell at annhollowell@gmail.com.

Election Engagement - The Episcopal Church | We recognize election engagement as an act of Christian stewardship. Our mandate to care for God's world and people compels us to vote-and to help ensure voting access for others. Election engagement also means we seek to stay informed; critically evaluate information before we share or act on it; and engage in respectful political dialogue even when we disagree. | | | |
