THIS SUNDAY, June 7, All Saints' will have ONE Service at 10 AM in the Parish Hall, then we'll move outside for a covered-dish luncheon! Drinks and dinnerware will be provided, but what we eat depends on YOU! So, bring your favorite dish to share! Covered dishes can be dropped off on the red and white clothed tables in the Parish Hall. There will be water slides and games for young folks and good times for all as we kick off summer together!

There was a great turnout for Sunday's Marshall Smith All Saints' Baseball Outing! Over 120 parishioners and friends enjoyed an awesome day together! A special thank you to Debby Smith and Mark Novasad for arranging the event.

We offer congratulations and praise for the birth of Katie Black, daughter of Katherine & Joey Black, on May 20. Sharon and Ragan Kearns are the proud grandparents. We join this precious family in giving thanks for the arrival of this child.

Your Search Committee is preparing responses to approximately 20 questions and items that will comprise All Saints’ church profile, a document that will be shared with prospective rector candidates. The Committee’s goal is to provide a draft profile to the Vestry by June 16 in advance of a specially called meeting on June 23 to review and comment on the draft. The Search Committee will respond to any recommendations from the Vestry. Once the Vestry approves the profile, the document will be forwarded to Canon Marion Sprott, who also will review and comment. The final person to review and approve the profile will be Diocese of North Carolina Bishop Rt. Rev. Sam Rodman. Once all reviews and approvals are complete, Canon Marion will disseminate the profile to prospective candidates through Episcopal meetings and websites.

If you would like to speak with a member of All Saints’ Search Committee at any point in the process, look for the blue ribbons on our name tags. You also are welcome to reach out directly to our co-chairs, Randy Brantley or Joy Marie De Block; their contact information can be found in Realm.

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.

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!
