Advent Formation Offering in December
Beginning on the first Sunday of Advent, December 1st, we invite you to join our Advent Formation offering titled "Advent When We Need it Most: A Call for Reconciliation." This series will be held each Sunday in the Great Hall at 9:45am and Monday evenings at 6:00pm in Jackson-Thorpe room. Both times will be throughout Advent.
Advent is a season for reflecting on our need for God's saving grace in our world. Together, we’ll explore the importance of reconciliation at a time when our country is deeply divided. The discussion will be facilitated by the Rev. Ranie Neislar. We look forward to sharing this meaningful journey with you.

We’re excited to welcome our new Nursery Director, Jenni Weikard , who has been part of the All Saints community since 2016. Join us in congratulating her on her new role! From Jenni: I have been a part of the All Saints community since 2016, working primarily in the nursery and supporting our youngest parishioners. Working closely with children inspired me to learn more about how to best support them, and I earned my PhD in child development (with a special focus on play behaviors!) from UAB in 2023. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing space where children can grow through play. I am also the mother of two (soon to be three!) wonderful children: Vance (5yo) and Nora(3yo) with Baby Sister expected to join us in July. I am so excited to be stepping into this role to continue to serve in such a wonderful and welcoming community and getting the opportunity to inspire playfulness in your children.
