Sunday School “In a Bag”
We are working on the next set of Sunday School lessons “in a bag” for children ages 3-fifth grade. Let’s take another look at Noah, Abraham, Joseph, and Daniel, people in the Old Testament, with Bible stories, age-appropriate crafts, and videos about their great deeds to learn why their lives are important to us now in the 21st century.
Pick up will be Saturday, January 16th at 2 pm in the preschool portico OR by other arrangements. Please let us know if you want a bag for your family no later than tomorrow, Wednesday, Jan. 13th, by emailing christianed@allsaintsrichmond.org
If you received a bag in the fall, please let us know if you want another one.
We hope to reach out to lots of families for this first group of lessons of 2021.

Stewardship 2021
Take a Risk with What God Gives You
Thank you to the 98 households that have pledged their support to All Saints for 2021. We count on pledges like yours to support our many ministries and our day-to-day operating expenses. When you make a pledge to All Saints, it helps us plan how to use our resources. A pledge acknowledges that everything we have comes from God. It allows you to share your blessings while furthering God’s mission of love and compassion in the world. Pledging gives you an opportunity to put your faith in action and your pledge is important, no matter the amount. If you have any questions, contact the church office.
