Dear Friends, We are so very thankful for all that God is doing in our midst. As we enter into the second century of ministry, on the shoulder of saints and friends before us, we trust that God will use your spiritual gifts, your donations, and your faith to be a blessing to others and to fill your life with an abundance of grace and joy. It is no small thing that in the last few years our membership has grown substantially, and we anticipate continued growth over the next five years. New members tell us that they experience Christ’s love in this community.
A Generous Harvest of Grace and Gratitude
In 2012 we added a vibrant youth ministry, a dynamic music ministry, and met the needs of many neighbors. We pray that you have also been blessed through All Saints’. Like members during the first one hundred years, we are creating a legacy of faith and good works. The brief overview found in this brochure demonstrates the creative energy generated by the Holy Spirit, who is inspiring us to enrich the lives of families, friends, and neighbors. Friends, we ask you to pray and then make your pledge today. Help All Saints’ fulfill our mission to be “disciples glorifying Christ and serving others” in his name. Respectfully, All Saints’ Stewardship Team
