MINISTRY MEMOS:
Bishop Visit December 13!: In just a few short weeks the bishop will be visiting us, and thus it’s prime time for anyone who wants to be received into the Episcopal Church, to be confirmed, or to renew your baptismal vows to meet with Fr. Joseph! We’ll gather and discuss being Episcopalian and our baptismal promises on Sundays at 9 am November 15, 22, 29, and December 6. Please let the office know you’re interested so Fr. Joseph knows how many copies to print!

COMMITTEE COMMENTARY:
Altar Guild: I realize that it isn’t Thanksgiving, yet and Halloween is just now over, but it is time to place those orders for the 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 sign-up using this link https://allsaintsboise.org/worship-and-community/sign-ups/ – have your dedication ready. Thank you, Linda Stark
P.S. Please make your check out to All Saints and note: Christmas flowers.
