This Sunday, we will be extending well wishes and Godspeed to Mother Mary Reese, as she moves from our community into another. There will be a special liturgy during worship and a light reception following each service. We are so grateful to Mother Mary for her years with us. In her time as Priest Associate at All Saints', Mother Mary has blessed All Saints' with her preaching, celebrating Holy Eucharist, and preparing many parishioners for baptism, confirmation, and reception. We will miss Mother Mary, even as we wish her well in a new faith community.

Food insecurity continues to grow in our community, and Cooperative Christian Ministry (CCM) serves more than 1,000 families each month through its food pantry. All Saints’ is collecting donations to help ensure our neighbors have food on their tables this Thanksgiving for the 7th year in a row!

Please bring non-perishable food donations to church THIS Sunday, November 15. Needed items include breakfast items, soup of any kind, canned vegetables of any kind, beans of any kind, rice, pasta, peanut butter, tuna fish, tomato paste, tomato sauce, pasta sauce, canned fruit, and mac & cheese. 

Monetary donations are also welcome! Make checks payable to All Saints’ with “CCM food pantry” in the memo line, or give online using this link (and select CCM food bank from the drop down). Thank you for helping feed our neighbors!

More Opportunities: Provide dinner for our neighbors! Thanks to those who have already volunteered, we are down to only TWO opportunities to feed our neighbors at the Night Shelter. Sign up for December 4 or December 5. Meals are for about 40 people. If you're interested in organizing a meal with a group any of those nights, please contact Gary Kovar. Gary is also looking for help with coordination in 2027.

Thank you for returning your pledge cards! What a joy to celebrate Ingathering Sunday together! Thank you to everyone who has pledged to support the life and ministry of All Saints’. If you haven’t pledged yet, there’s still time. Place your pledge envelope in Sunday’s offering plate, mail it to the church office, or pledge online through Realm using the link below. Every pledge matters. Thank you for your generosity and for helping us serve God and our community together!

All Saints’ Coat Drive | As the cold temperatures approach, All Saints’ will again host a coat drive for those in need of winter coats. The need is greatest for children, but adult sizes are also welcome. Please drop off new or gently used winter coats and new winter hats and gloves in children's sizes Toddler through 12/14 (boys or girls) in the Welcome Center. They will be distributed to various locations in our community. If you prefer to make a monetary donation, please contact Deborah Monroe. She will purchase coats with these donations. Contact Fran Burkett, Karen Robinson, or Deborah Monroe with any questions.  

Dear Friends at All Saints' – It is with profound gratitude that I am writing to thank you for the wonderful ten months of ministry we shared. Your reception for Ginny and I was over the top. The cards and gifts were deeply appreciated, and we rejoiced in them all the way back to Ohio. Please be assured that you will be in my prayers that your transition comes to a successful conclusion. I have every reason to believe that your future is bright and filled with the love of God. With heartfelt thanks I will always treasure the memories of our shared ministry. Blessings, John+

We welcome The Rev. Joan Kilian back to All Saints’! Rev. Joan is serving as our supply clergy this Sunday, November 15 and next Sunday, November 22. We are thankful for her ministry during our time of transition.

Thank you for your understanding.
