Do YOU Know the Good News?

Here we grow again! 
Please take time to meet and greet our newest disciples Re and Gary Danczyk and The Kahls, Will, Melanie, Adam, and Nathan, who formally joined us on Palm Sunday.  The Kahls attend 8:30, with Melanie sharing the gift of song and the entire family sharing the gift of smiles. The Danczyks attend at 11:00.  Re has a heart for gardening, children, and baking.  Gary has a heart for stewardship, property, and gardening.  We are blessed to have them in our midst.

Additionally, we have welcomed four new lives to the family God through the sacrament of Baptism.  On the blessed day of Easter, Kennedy Hix, granddaughter of Donna and Rick Sanglier, was brought for Baptism by her parents, Greg and Christina Hix.  Also on Easter, Joel Hernandez, grandson of Bev Weiss, was brought for Baptism by his mother Judy Hernandez and brothers, Joshua and Jacob.  On April 11th, Angel and Edgar Potter were brought for baptism by their parents Martin and Julie Potter, fellow disciples of All Saints this January.  Please find time to welcome and love on these newest additions.

On April 25th, four individuals received their first communion.  Please congratulate Carolina Curcuru, Ellie Smith, Josie Smith, and Lorie Smith on joining us at the Welcome Table from here on out.

Our Adopt-A-Highway crew practiced stewardship of our local area by cleaning the road out in front of the church on April 17th.  This effort coordinated by Bill Johnston happens three times each year.  Thanks Bill and crew for a beautified road to travel.
