Once potential projects are identified, then professionals or volunteers are scheduled to begin to work on the projects.

B & G meets each second Tuesday of the month in the parish hall at 6:00 P.M. I will send out an agenda before each meeting, so if you are not able to attend you will still know what is happening. If you want to be on the B & G emailing list, please let me know!  Looking forward to seeing you at church and God bless you all for your work for All Saints. Barb Tool, Junior Warden
