Is All Saints Church your home? Are you interested in becoming a member or being confirmed in the Anglican Church? Beginning on February 9th, we will begin our confirmation and new members class. If you have questions or would like to join, please email Tyler Lund-Hansen at tyler@allsaints-chd.org.

All are invited to attend our annual meeting. Members will vote to affirm our new vestry members, and our Synod Delegates. It is especially important that members plan on joining us during the interlude1/26. Annual reports will be distributed before the meeting.

On Saturday, January 4th. As we wrap up Advent, we will have a time to gather, eat, sing, craft and have our second annual clothes swap!

Where: Five Oaks Clubhouse

When: Saturday, January 4th, 2024 - 3-5 pm

Contact Christie Hitchcock (chitchcock5375@gmail.com) if you want to participate in the clothes swap or for any questions.

We will only be having one service at 10 am on December 20th. Please plan accordingly!

As part of our All Saints Day celebration on November 3, we will be holding our annual chili-cook off. Join us, 5 PM at FOSDA, for a time of food and fellowship! Signups will be available to bring chili & cornbread.

In addition to our chili cook-off we will also be presenting our annual talent show! Consider a musical number, stand-up comedy, magic, dance, WHATEVER! This event is always a hit - and family friendly.

Join us during worship as we celebrate our Feast of Title, All Saints Day. This will be the 19th anniversary of our Church. During the service we will have baptisms and an opportunity for Holy First Communion.

The basic idea of the Pray for Me Campaign is simple. Three adults from three different generations will be assigned as prayer champions for each teenager in the church (These specific numbers don’t always work out because of our size, but this is the goal). For the next year those adults will pray for their student using a prayer guide with 13 weeks worth of daily prayers focused on seven essential spiritual qualities appropriate for teenagers, as well as by regularly asking the student for any specific prayer requests. Additionally, these match ups are an opportunity for the prayer champions and teenagers to build a relationship. Intergenerational relationships are an invaluable way that we disciple our young people and help them to grow in their faith and the P4M Campaign is a structured way to facilitate those meetings.

We are having a safety training on September 15th after church from 12:45PM - 2PM. This training is for people ages 16 and older who serve on the vestry, in children’s & youth ministry and any volunteer teams that regularly serve with minors volunteers. This training is required by the diocese every 2 years, so if you have never been trained or you have not been re-trained since the fall of 2021, please sign up on the attached Google sheet. If you’re not sure if you should be there, please contact your ministry leader or Carley McGrady (carley@allsaints-chd.org)

Mark your calendars, and plan to join us for our Annual Fall Ministry Fair immediately following Church on Sunday August 28. You'll be able to sign-up for small groups, find out about volunteering opportunities, and get to know all the saints of All Saints Church! Weather permitting we will be outside enjoying lunch together! We'll have a bouncy house for the kiddos. Please bring a potluck item to share.

You are invited on August 18 to join us for our annual backpack blessing! On this day anyone who will be a student, teacher or faculty in the coming academic year can bring their backpack (or satchel, etc.) so that the Church can pray over them as they begin their new academic year. Whether you have a student who is beginning the first year of kindergarten or a professor at seminary, come let us celebrate your coming year!

Take me out to the ball game! On Thursday July 25th , All Saints is headed to the minors. The Durham Bulls will be facing off against the Gwinnett Stripers at 6:35 PM. We will be reserving a block of seats on the 3rd base sideline (out of the worst of the sun). Tickets are 15$ a seat. Please RSVP early to Parker at parker@allsaints-chd.org to book your ticket in our block.

P.S. Hot dogs will be 1$. Who can eat the most?

We're looking for readers/speakers of different languages to participate in our annual multilingual Pentecost reading on May 19th! If you are interested in being a part of this (do not worry about your fluency level...all the languages will be read at one time--no one will know if you mess up!) please indicate your language and service time using the link below. Further details will be sent out closer to the date.

If you or your child would like to be baptized, please complete the below form to begin the process.

Please mark your calendars for Saturday, May 4th from 8:30 am until noon for a spiritual retreat at Five Oaks Recreation Area. There will be time for lectio divina, guided silence, and reflection with other folks from All Saints Church.
