Dearly Beloved,
Fall is officially here today and it certainly feels wonderful that even our weather has cooperated to make it feel like it!
As I announced in church on Sunday, Pat Jackson, long-time member here at All Saints, died on September 13. Her funeral will be held here this coming Saturday, September 26 at 11:00 a.m. Interment will be directly afterward in our cemetery. Please come out to support the family and bid adieu to Pat and commend her to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
All of our classes are back in session. Be sure to check the announcements and schedules below. The Fall Fish Fry is also around the corner, just 10 days away on October 2, 2026.
I also want to share a bit of secret with you. Mary Nelson is going into labor this afternoon and we will have a new member of the church very soon! Please pray for Mary and her child this evening for a safe delivery, as well as for Nate as he keeps watch over both of them. I’ll let you know as soon as we have news.
Blessings,
Fr. Erich
