3rd -- Installation of Pastor Rich Rentner - 10:00 AM
*** Welcoming a new Pastor into our congregation on the 3rd was so uplifting.  We are truly blessed with Pastor Rich and Sue becoming part of the All Saints family.  We look forward to building bridges with them in the future!


Bible Study - 2009
January 26th -- An ecumenical Bible study on I Corinthians will begin at 7:30PM Monday at All Saints for four sessions.  It is a joint effort between All Saints and Joan of Arc parish.  The material was prepared by Pastor Tim Philabaum of Zoar Lutheran.
***  What a special event!  We were able to share our thoughts and concerns and put many myths to bed.  I think it is safe to say that everyone who attended felt touched by the Holy Spirit.  There is great anticipation for future ecumenical events.

Congregational Meeting - 2009
January 25th -- Immediately after the worship service, we will hold our annual congregational meeting.
