Dearly Beloved,
It is hard to believe we have been closed for Sunday worship two weeks in a row but at least we finally were able to get a goodly amount of snow!
Tuesday Bible Study is cancelled for tomorrow. Dss. Cynthia anticipates being back in the office by Wednesday morning. Feel free to call her (828-275-7654) if you have need of anything.
Also, I am out of town this week so our Wednesday evening Holy Communion, Fellowship Dinner, and Bible Study are cancelled. Choir practice is still scheduled.
Blessings,
Fr. Erich

Fellowship Ministry News from Allison
Thank you to Gloria and Amy who continue doing an excellent job of cooking for Holy Communion and Bible Study on Wednesday nights. It’s a great night of worship, fellowship, and Bible Study and a big part of the life of All Saints.
And now, it’s official, we are jumping in to monthly fellowship meals. Ultimately, I know many of us would love to bring back weekly meals after church, but to start, these are some of the ideas for the next few months to get a routine of monthly events:
-
February 15: Shrove Tuesday on Sunday Pancake Breakfast between services. Hopefully roads will be thawed and cleared by then! A great time for all to reconnect after bad weather keeping us apart.
-
March 20: Lenten Fish Fry. Mark your calendar!
-
March 29: Palm Sunday Lunch
-
April 5: Parish Easter Dinner
-
May 24: Whitsunday/Pentecost Lunch
I hope everyone will attend each event so we can fellowship together!
If you have ideas, suggestions, and/or desire to put things into action, please contact me at 828-606-9965. It takes a team of volunteers to make each event happen. You can be a part of one event, the ones you are available, or all of them. I’d love your commitment on any level, and it helps to know in advance. I’m also open to getting enough cooking teams together to each do a meal approximately every 6 weeks so that we could resume weekly meals. Please let me know if you are willing to commit to that as well.
