As November chills the air, it also brings us celebrations to warm us. We’ll celebrate our parish feast day, All Saints’ Day, with the joyful marching of our Sunday School children in a parade of banners and we will honor of all those personal saints’ we’ve known who have died. We will celebrate Thanksgiving and our annual Advent Wreath-making potluck breakfast with a new twist—details follow. We also continue to offer many small groups and educational opportunities at All Saints’ on Sundays and during the week. Let us prepare to celebrate with joy, the beginning of a new church year this Advent season.

 

Yours in Christ,

Jan Kibler, Director of Religious Education
