Compassionate Care: Our team’s mission is to offer holistic, social, physical, emotional, and spiritual ministry to our congregation. We do this by offering classes, sending cards, making visits, arranging limited meals and transportation, and being part of the prayer chain. If you are in need of any of these services or can help provide any of these services, please contact the church office. A member of the Compassionate Care Committee will reach out to you.
Christmas Poinsettias: These beautiful plants will decorate our sanctuary during all the Christmas services and you have an opportunity to sponsor one! This year the cost is the same as last year at $30 per plant and you can take it home afterwards to enjoy during the year. Please make your check out to All Saints and note: Christmas flowers.
