Announcements for October 30
- Stewardship: Annual Fund Drive
The annual pledge drive mailing, including pledge cards, has been sent out. You will have the opportunity to formally offer your pledge cards during worship on November 20. They may also be placed in the offering plate or returned to the parish office any time before then.
- Little Hands Work for Clean Water
Thank you to all who have contributed to Little Hands’ effort to raise money for clean water wells. Over $50 has already been raised. The kids’ “praying” well is still in the undercroft. Please continue to offer your prayers and contributions to help people who do not have easy access to clean water.
- Prayers for the Faithful Departed
It has long been the custom of the church to offer prayers for the faithful departed on All Saints’ Day. The focus is particularly on those who have died during the last year, but any prayers for the departed are appropriate. As has been our custom in recent years, we will offer these prayers by name at the Wednesday service closest to All Saints’ Day (November 2). Please call the parish office if you would like to add names to the list of All Saints’ Day prayers for the faithful departed.
- Prayers for the Parish
Arising out of its discussion about stewardship, the vestry invites parishioners to share their own prayers for the parish. Praying for the parish is an act of stewardship. Look for sheets in the Sunday service leaflets, or you may e-mail your prayers to the parish.
- All Saints’ Open House
The annual All Saints Open House at the Rectory will be held Sunday, November 6, from 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. All parishioners (and guests), including children, are welcome.
