Are you interested in taking a deeper dive into the Bible, learning more about the history of the church, and taking a closer look at the joys and challenges of our daily lives as Christians through a theological lens? If so, the Education for Ministry (EfM) class may be the place for you. Through reading and study, as well as engaging in regular theological reflection, EfM is designed “[to] develop …theologically informed, reflective, and articulate seekers of God.” EfM now offers a year-long Wide Angle “intro class” if you would like to experience the main aspects of EfM without committing to the four-year Classic program. If you would like to know more, we would love to talk with you in the parlor after the 9 AM service THIS Sunday, May 31. You can also reach out to co-mentors Christiana Holyer or Lisa Brandyberry. Their contact information is in Realm.

The annual Marshall Smith All Saints’ Baseball Outing is THIS SUNDAY at 1:30 PM. Get to the field by 1 PM and see our own Father John throw out the first pitch! Be sure to wear your red All Saints' t-shirt. Pick up your pre-purchased tickets at the All Saints’ table at the stadium’s main gate.

All Saints' has been designated a Premier Partner by the American Red Cross. The next Blood Drive is Wednesday, June 3, with appointments from 2:30 until 6:45 PM. Go to redcrossblood.org to make your appointment. Donors will receive a $15 e-gift card. See Martin Ericson if you have questions.

Y'all this really is a full-on, covered-dish lunch! No registration is necessary. So, everyone bring your favorite dish, and we'll enjoy a big communal luncheon! There will be fun waterslide and play activities for young folks and good times for all as we kick off summer together!

Get ready to ride, sponsor, and volunteer! The 14th Annual Tour de Saints is on Saturday, August 29, 2026! The Tour de Saints charity bike ride is an annual outreach event hosted by All Saints’ Episcopal Church. This community event supports local charities in Cabarrus County. Our objectives are to raise awareness about the work these charities do in our community, collect non-perishable food items the day of the ride, and generate funds to directly support these charities. Now in its 14th year, Tour de Saints has raised over $150,000 and has also collected over 12 tons of non-perishable food donations. It takes a village of volunteers to make event day run smooth – sign up today in the Welcome Center!

We offer prayers and condolences to the family and friends of Ron Sigrist, husband of Becky Sigrist, who entered the Resurrection on February 20, 2026. Ron's Celebration of Life will be at All Saints’ Episcopal Church on Saturday, June 13 at 11 AM. Ron's obituary can be found here.
