SAINTS’ ALIVE
FROM THE SENIOR WARDEN
I would like to start by saying thank you to all the people who
give of themselves in a physical way.
All that we do around here, would not get done without you.
As you might have smelled in the air, we have done some painting.
We even named a wall after our choir director.
It is the wall of Ken.
Also, thank you all for being a part of this church family called
All Saints.’ Without you
there it would be a very empty church.
The Bible tells us that maintaining a close walk with God is a
command we must obey, not merely a suggestion we may want to consider.
This is Love: that we walk in obedience to God's commands.
As you have heard from the beginning,
His command is that you walk in LOVE.
2 JOHN 6
I pray that you are all having a great summer.
Pete Van de Koolwyk.
VESTRY HIGHLIGHTS—JUNE MEETING
All Saints’ is running like a well tuned motor cycle.
All of our leadership is doing a great job keeping us on the
right track. Please hold
them up in prayer.
·
The plans for our covered walkways are
coming along and we should be ready for you to see some work on it some
time by November.
·
As far as our funds, we are running very
tight.
The Vestry is here to look over the church, so, feel free to ask
questions or give us your thoughts.
Pete Van de Koolwyk.
