Our Sunday School is Back !!!

Electronic Roadside Bulletin Board

For several years now, Vestry and the Finance Team have been considering the erection of a roadside electronic bulletin board, but like many things, it was placed on the back-burner due to the challenges of COVID-19.  Vestry and many Parishioners view this project as a way to enhance our Parish’s profile within our community, and to promote our activities such as liturgical, mission & outreach, and fundraising.

We are proud that we are a very active Parish, and we must be able to maximize the benefits of any fundraising efforts and services that we make available to the public, including Sunday School, Youth Programs, Catering Services, Take-out Dinner Sales, Weekly Tea Room ministry, Blood Donor Clinics, Flu Shot Clinics, COVID vaccination clinics, and the list goes on.  We also have a need to continuously let our congregation know about the myriad of Church services and celebrations that we host from time to time.  And of course, there is also the opportunity for a new revenue stream by selling public advertisement space.

This project was unexpectedly given a wonderful kick-start by the recent request to fulfill the wishes of one of our most active Property and Planning team leaders and workers for many years, the late David Butler.  To date we have collected $3,495 towards an ‘expected target’ of $15,000 to $20,000 (price to be finalized over the coming weeks.). We welcome your generous support, and we will begin providing weekly donation updates in The Candle.

Holy Baptism – 2nd Sunday of Every Month

We are happy to announce that effective June 12^th, Holy Baptism will commence as a part of our regular Sunday morning service.

This is a great opportunity to welcome new families into our Parish as we ‘Pass the Light’ to these young children.  Please contact our Parish Office at 834-4501 to arrange for your child to be baptized.

Join Our Live Streaming Team

There are a growing number of Parishioners, as well as non-Parishioners who depend on our live streaming in order to participate in regular Sunday worship.  We have grown to the stage that we now need to expand beyond our current Team members.  If you are able to help us with this very rewarding ministry, we would love to have you on our Team.  It is not as complicated as you might think, so there is no need to feel intimidated just because you have never been involved in broadcasting before.  Neither were we!!!!  We will sit with you while you get up to speed, and feel comfortable on your own.  If you are able to help in any way, we would very much love to hear from you.  Just drop us a note at communications@allsaintsparish.ca

Diocese of ENL - Business Plan

The Diocese of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador has been experiencing a devastating effect on the revenue of many of our parishes, and in particular the budget for the Diocese. This is due to the slow growth and the impact of COVID 19.  A subcommittee of the finance committee was appointed to prepare a budget for the Diocese for 2021, also to prepare a plan forward for the ongoing ministry and financial stability ministry of the Diocese.  It also submitted a Diocesan Restructuring Proposal.  All Saints CBS falls within "Cluster B", which encompasses St. John the Evangelist (Topsail), All Saints CBS (Foxtrap), and St.Peters (Upper Gullies).  We encourage you to familiarize yourself with this proposal which will be getting much discussion at the upcoming Synod 32.  Click here to read the entire document (All Saints included in pages 44-53).

Parish Hall Available for Rentals

Our Parish Hall is once again available for any and all types rentals.  We encourage you to pass this along to family, friends, and any business associates that you feel might have a need that we can fill.

All Saints Tea Room

Our Tea Room has reopened to full capacity, and there is no longer a need to pre-register.  We would like to thank all those who continue to attend and support our Wednesday luncheons, and we certainly look forward to seeing you each week for some great food, fun, and fellowship.  Many thanks to Enid and her Team.

Alongsiders' Monthly Prayer Schedule

Our Alongsider's Team would like to make their current monthly prayer services available to you simply by clicking here.  To visit all past issues click here.

Alongsiders are members of our Parish who, due to circumstances of sickness, mobility, age, etc., can not physically attend a worship service at our Church.  However, they still want to be part of the worship, and where possible, to help from home.  The Alongsiders program accomplishes this.  Each month, a service for each Sunday is prayerfully put together, similar to the in-Church service, and is then delivered to each Parishioner as part of a home visit.  A vital part of our ministry is ‘praying alongside’ our brothers and sisters in Christ.  Currently we have 14 members in the Parish of All Saints.
