Altar Guild members are the invisible

The All Saints' choir is small, but mighty. The choir enhances our 9:30 a.m. worship service through a variety of musical offerings. All who yearn to make a joyful noise unto the Lord are cordially invited to consider being a part of the choir. It's a rewarding addition to the service. |

Coffee Hour is the casual time of gathering each Sunday after the 9:30 a.m. service. Parishioners and visitors not only enjoy some delicious treats along with their coffee or tea, but have the opportunity to meet and chat, getting to know each other better. It's a time to catch up on what has been happening in other parishioners' lives, and it's a time to coordinate ministry activities. In short, it's a vital time in the parish's life. Please consider hosting a week every now and then. Don't want to do it alone? Then team up with a friend. It's fun, it's easy, and it really helps the parish. |

Crucifers process and recess the Cross down the aisle, at the beginning and end of the service, as well as for the reading of the Gospel. Candle Bearers light the candles at the Altar and process and recess with the Crucifer at assigned times. The Chalice bearers assist in our Eucharistic service, serving the wine during communion. Often times one person serves as the Crucifer and the Chalice Bearer. This is a wonderful way to better understand the meaning of the service, and we always need additional volunteers. |

Cursillo is a worldwide movement of the Christian Church which strives to penetrate and Christianize environments through Christian communities in action. It teaches us to make a friend, be a friend, and bring a friend to Christ. |

Greeters serve at the 9:30 a.m. service, welcoming worshipers as they arrive and assisting them in locating their name tags. They invite visitors to sign the visitors' book and offer them a name tag. Following the service they offer to walk with visitors over to the Parish Hall for refreshments. It's great way to meet fellow parishioners. |

The Vestry elects the Junior Warden from its membership in a special meeting immediately following the Annual Meeting. Traditionally, the Junior Warden is the "People's Warden," a listening ear if you have any complaints or suggestions you wish to convey. All Saints' Junior Warden assists the Rector as needed and stands in for the Senior Warden. If you have any questions about the parish, you'll get some good answers from the Junior Warden. |

All Saints' lectors present us "the Word of the Lord" during worship services. Lectors are asked to read once or twice a month. It's an easy way to help enrich our worship. Plenty of training is provided on how to read and use the microphones. Consider being a part of it all. |

Prayer is an essential part of our spiritual life. Submit your requests to Ann via e-mail, phone, or in person during the service. Ann makes herself available in the Chapel during the Service for healing prayer. |

All Saints' Sunday School is conducted in the Parish Hall in conjunction with the 9:30 a.m. Service. Much of the curriculum is written locally and is coordinated with the lectionary the adults hear in church. Families are encouraged to discuss topical questions. |

The Vestry is All Saints' governing board. It establishes the annual budget and assists in coordinating the various ministries and functions in the parish. The Vestry meets once a month to exchange ideas and report on the status of parish ministries. There are eleven members, a third of whom are elected at the annual meeting each January for a three-year term. You can give your input to all of the Vestry members via the above email address. Serving on the Vestry is one of the greatest contributions a parishioner can make to the parish. Parishioners are encouraged to consider this vital ministry. |
Father Michael Carr |
All Saints' exists to encourage and empower youth, grades 7-12, in faithful Christian living. We are committed to opening our hearts to one another and to those outside the church, engaging our minds in understanding ourselves as God's creatures in God's world, offering our hands for the support of God's church, God's kingdom, and God's creation, and lifting our voices in praising our God and proclaiming the Good News of Jesus! We meet monthly in the Parish Hall after the 9:30 a.m. Service, monthly for a Youth Service, and periodically for alternative worship expression. |
