The Start of a New Season


The season of Lent is an opportunity for us to reflect, to learn, and to grow together. As we walk this time before Holy Week and Easter, we are grateful for the many ways you show up for All Saints’… in worship, in service, and in community.

Below are some upcoming events and offerings to help you feel connected this Lenten season. We're glad you're here. Welcome home.

Taught by Rev. Jenny McBride, this 5-week course examines prayer as friendship with God; petitionary prayer for oneself and others; praying with scripture, discernment through prayer; and prayer through movement.

It is intended for everyone —seasoned, beginning, or unsure — as we learn from each other's experiences.

As we look ahead, we also want to share a few simple ways you can support the ministry and mission of All Saints’.

Ways to Give

• Make a Gift: One-time or recurring gifts help sustain our daily ministry and respond to immediate needs.
• Make or Complete a Pledge: Pledging allows All Saints’ to plan responsibly and steward resources faithfully. Every pledge matters, and we are deeply grateful for your commitment.
• Planned Giving: Through Cornerstone, our planned giving ministry, you can support the long-term future of All Saints’ by including the church in your estate plans - at no cost today. Planned gifts of any size help ensure that All Saints’ continues to thrive for generations to come.
  

If you have questions about giving, pledging, or planned giving, we would be happy to talk with you confidentially and without obligation. Contact Julie Lockhart at jlockhart@allsaintsatlanta.org.

Thank you for being part of this community and for helping All Saints’ continue to shine in our city.
