Before your busy week begins, the Welcome Table is a place to join with others and find rest and refreshment.

A community dinner for all participants follows the service.

Greetings, saints! This past Sunday at All Saints’ was Refugee Ministries Sunday, which this year marks its 30th year in ministry. Our Director of Refugee Ministries, Louisa Merchant, preached at both the 9:00 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. services, reminding us that acts of service can bring us to authentic belief.

After the 9:00 a.m. service, our Director of Refugee Ministries, Louisa Merchant, interviewed Loyda Paz Perez, residential coordinator at Casa Alterna, a community for asylum seekers in Grant Park that we partner with in Ellis Hall.

Together, they illuminated for parishioners the experience and multi-varied challenges of refugees in need of support as they settle locally. To get involved in the work of Refugee Ministries, visit us online at https://allsaintsatlanta.org/serve/refugees!

We would love to get to know you! Our community looks forward to you joining us for upcoming services and events throughout the year! For more information visit allsaintsatlanta.org/calendar

Giving

Planned Gifts, those gifts offered now to be given after your death, are an important part of the generosity we are invited into as a church community. Here is another question in our series of information on planned giving:

Q: I don't have a large estate. Is my gift too small to give All Saints' a planned gift today?

A: No gift is ever too small. We have a well-managed, secure endowment where gifts of all sizes can grow and collectively participate in All Saints' future. We repeat: No gift is ever too small.

“Annual giving, offerings and pledge commitments are essential to the church too. This Lenten and Easter season, please offer your giving to All Saints' Church.”
