HIGH SCHOOL PILGRIMAGE: JOURNEY TO BELIZE

We are ready to embark on a journey of a lifetime as we explore our faith in Belize! From worshipping at the oldest Anglican church in Central America to tubing through extensive cave systems, this is bound to be a pilgrimage we won't forget as we build community with one another and explore and deepen our faith lives.

As a pilgrim, you are committing to spending time in relationship with one another before the trip which will include preparation gatherings and classes, participating in our Christmas tree sale, and attending the pilgrimage overnight in the spring. You should also be an active participant at All Saints, through worship and programming in addition to being in 10th grade or older.

So are you ready to dive deep into your faith in Belize?

Date: June 4-10, 2023

ST. NICHOLAS SUPPER AND CELEBRATION

All his life, Nicholas of Myra showed people how to love God and care for each other. Join us at this favorite All Saints’ Christmas tradition as we celebrate St. Nicholas with singing, ringing, storytelling, and dinner. Rumor has it that the old Saint might even pay us a visit!

Two dinner seatings will be offered for our catered (by Deborah Van Trece) holiday feast. Beverages are included.

Between seatings, join us to hear a magical telling of the story of St. Nicholas of Myra in the Church, followed by the Junior Choir and bell ringers leading us in carols. Children’s Ministries will also be conducting a Soles for Souls shoe drive, for new and gently used shoes as part of this evening. You can drop off your donations in Ellis Hall during dinner or in the Nave before the celebration. For more information, contact Kathy Roberts at kroberts@allsaintsatlanta.org.

There are two dinner seatings in Ellis Hall, one before and one after the St. Nicholas Celebration in the church:

5:00 p.m.: First Dinner Seating

6:05 p.m.: St. Nicholas Celebration

6:45 p.m.: Second Dinner Seating

Fill out the form below to select your dinner seating.
