Fun Things In October | All Saints Episcopal Church

Dear Saints,

October is such a fun month at All Saints! Last week we had a wonderful time blessing our adorable pets, and our children did such a nice job on their animal song and all the motions.

Coming up we have the Parent's Night Out on October 19 (don't forget to RSVP since it's just a week away!).

Sunday, October 20, the Rev. Sarah Fischer of Hope & Bread street church and chaplaincy will be our guest preacher at both services and available after to talk more about this powerful and much needed ministry.

Sunday, October 20 is also Grubby Sunday, the day where we wear our overalls, boots and outdoor wear to church. We will eat pizza after the 10:15 and then those who are able can help us as we clean up the grounds.

On October 21 we have our next Newcomer Dinner. It's a great way to meet people at All Saints.

The last Sunday in October we have our Halloween processional and then the first Sunday in November we celebrate the Feast of All Saints!

You can find more info for all of these below. Enjoy the beautiful October weekend!

In peace,

Andria+
