MINISTRY MEMOS:
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. Please sign-up using this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A4AAEAC2EA5FC1-christmas1 – have your dedication ready.

COMMITTEE COMMENTARY:
All Saints Memorial Garden
The All Saints Memorial Garden is a labor of love that provides a space for cremated remains of All Saints parish members and their families. This hallowed ground is in keeping with the long Christian history of burial at the church. The Garden and by-laws were established in August 1990.
The ASMG is designed so that the reserved spaces surround the outer edges of the Garden. There is space in the middle for quiet remembrance and meditation. Over the years, landscaping and pavers in the shape of a cross have been added to the Garden.
Each space includes a marble marker with a bronze name plate. The names of those interred are also on a wall plaque located in the hallway at the entrance to the Memorial Garden. The price of a single space is $500.
According to ASMG documents, “the flowering people” were on the initial Committee: Chairman John Pirrong, Fran Davis, Alice Shore, Bob Hibbs, and the Rev. Hugh Duncan, Advisor. Others who have served on the ASMG Committee: John Beckwith, Jack Dancer, Gerald Geddes, Pat Harbert, Curtis Pullin, Rodger Smith, and Ruth Keeth. The current Committee includes Sherrill Geddes, Julie Walker, The Rev. Robin Finch, and The Rev. Joseph Farnes, Rector. Please contact Fr. Joseph, or a current member of the committee, if you have any questions.
