Annual Meeting & Thanksgiving Dinner
Thanks to everyone for coming out yesterday for our Annual Parish Meeting and Thanksgiving Dinner. The meeting went very smoothly. Congrats to Gary Knebel, Ron Miller, and Paul Sewrey on their election to the Vestry. The feast afterwards was fantastic and we “gobbled” up all the turkey!
If you were not able to be with us, you can watch the video of the meeting, as well as access the meeting report packet on our website. Just click here.

Holy Communion, with hymns, will be celebrated this coming Thursday, November 27, at 10:00 a.m. We will also celebrate a simple said service on Wednesday evening, Thanksgiving Eve, at 6:00 p.m. There will be no Bible study this coming Wednesday, November 26.
Angel Tree Giving Season
All Saints Church is excited and honored to support 13 children in need this Christmas, in partnership with The Storehouse Ministry and Henderson County Schools.
How to Participate:
• Select a tag (or more) from the Angel Tree in the church.
• Purchase the item(s) listed on your tag.
• Please bring all gifts to the church by Sunday, December 7.
Important: Do not wrap the gifts!
If you prefer to make a donation instead of shopping, simply place your contribution in the offering plate on Sunday, November 23, and please remember to write “Angel Tree” in the memo line. Our ladies will gladly purchase gifts on your behalf. Please see Dss. Cynthia if you have any further questions and/or are willing to come out and help sort gifts on Monday, December 8, from 9 – 11 a.m.
No Sunday School on Nov. 30
Please note that there will not be Sunday School this coming Sunday, November 30. Classes will resume December 7.
Advent Lessons & Carols
The All Saints Choir will proudly present its annual Advent Festival of Lessons and Carols on Sunday, December 7, beginning at 5:00 p.m. This special service was started in 1918 at King’s College Chapel in Cambridge England, and it is a re-
telling of the story of our redemption—from prophecy to fulfillment—through Holy Scripture and music. Please come out to support our All Saints Choir that night and bring a friend!
And as is always the case, immediately following Lessons & Carols, we hold our annual St. Nicholas Party. We have it on good authority that jolly old St. Nick will make a stop here on that Sunday, as he does every year to fill up those shoes with all sorts of goodies!
Of Your Mercy
A long-time member here, Florence Henderson, can no longer drive and wishes to be able to come to church once or twice a month. Would you be willing to assist her so she can worship with us and join us in fellowship once again? Perhaps you and someone else can be a team? There are so many possibilities here to help out another member of the parish.
Florence lives at Carolina Village in Hendersonville. Please contact Dss. Cynthia if you can take on this worthy ministry.
