Rector Search Committee
**The first link we shared to the form is no longer valid. Please use the one above.
We are inviting parish members to suggest individuals to serve in our Rector search process. This is a prayerful and important season for All Saints. We are looking for people who are spiritually grounded and willing to listen, learn, and be shaped by God through collaboration.
Those recommended should be trustworthy and able to hold confidentiality with care. They should bring emotional maturity, humility, integrity, and a deep love for this parish.
We are seeking people who communicate thoughtfully, engage others with respect and compassion, and reflect a range of perspectives within our community. The ability to work well with differing views and experiences matters.
This work calls for patience, courage, and a steady commitment to God’s will. It requires careful preparation, consistent participation, and the time and energy to stay present through months of discernment.
If someone comes to mind who values Episcopal identity and keeps the long term mission of All Saints at the center, we invite you to share their name by completing the form above.

Hello folks. I’d love to invite you to something a little different. Being With is a course exploring Christian faith and its relevance to our lives now —but it’s not your typical course. It’s a space for anyone who’s curious about faith, exploring Christianity, or maybe just wondering where they stand with it all. You might be returning to faith after some time away or asking whether what you once believed still holds true. Or maybe you’ve had experiences of church that left you unsure. Being With offers something gentler—a place where you can listen, share and reflect alongside others, with no pressure and no judgement. What makes it special is that we explore faith through real-life stories and honest conversation—not lectures or right answers. Whatever your story, Being With offers a gentle, honest space to reflect. It’s not about having the right answers—it’s about real conversations, shared experiences, and discovering how to live a faith that feels true to you. We'd love to have you with us. Kelley+ The Rev. Kelley Hudlow Associate Rector Who is this course for? This course is for people new to the Christian faith, returning to the Christian faith, or wanting to explore their faith.

Ash Wednesday is Wednesday, February 18! Services will be at 12:00pm & 6:00pm . The nursery will be available for infants - 6 years old. Falling six and half weeks before Easter, this will mark the beginning of the forty days of Lent in preparation for Christ’s resurrection on Easter Sunday. The ashes are a sign of penitence and a reminder of mortality, and may be imposed with the sign of the cross. The Ash Wednesday service is one of the Proper Liturgies for Special Days in the BCP (p. 264). Imposition of ashes at the Ash Wednesday service is optional.
Join us for our annual "Shrove Tuesday & Pancake Supper" Tuesday, February 17, 5:30pm-7:00pm! There will be ways you can help us with this event, more details to come. Shrove Tuesday, also know as "Pancake Tuesday" or "Pancake Day" is the final day before the 40-day period of Lent begins. Its name comes from the Germanic-Old English word “shrive,” meaning absolve, and it is the last day of the liturgical season historically known as Shrovetide. Because it comes directly before Lent, a season of fasting and penitence, this was the day that Christians would go to be “shriven” by their confessor. Shrove Tuesday also became a day for pre-fasting indulgence. In particular, the need to use up rich ingredients such as butter, milk, sugar and eggs before Lent gave rise to the tradition of eating pancakes on this day. On Shrove Tuesday, we also burn the palms distributed during the previous year's Palm Sunday liturgies to make the ashes used during the services held on the very next day, Ash Wednesday.
