The Student Ministry Christmas party was a great success! Held ever year at the Wieder home, it wouldn't be complete without plenty of food, drink, laughter, and - of course - the annual "White Elephant" gift exchange! Student ministers JD Carr and his wife Kelsey fit right in to this long-time All Saints tradition.

The Women of All Saints December Concert & Luncheon was held on December 13. We were blessed to hear wonderful seasonal music first by our own Peter Crisafulli and Ann Gordon, as well as Linda Crisafulli directing Flutes on the Brink. After a short business meeting highlighting the successful year of Women of All Saints and the ASC Thrift Shop, we enjoyed wonderful luncheon served by WAS volunteers. Thank you!

More than twenty staff, clergy, and preschool teachers decorated their doors for the holidays. It was the first time for this new "tradition" but certainly won't be the last. Some were funny, some were profound, some were religious, some definitely weren't. But fun was definitely had by all! And the hard work that went into more than a few was incredible!
