Lunch Packing: October 31 at 9am

Adult Formation: Sundays at 9:15am
Join Ben and Megan in exploring one of the perhaps most under-studied and under-preached-on books of the Bible, the Psalms! Each week at 9:15am, we will look at the lectionary-assigned Psalm for that Sunday and look for the unique forms of wisdom and companionship this biblical poetry might offer us. Woven into our studies, we will occasionally turn to other poems, historic and contemporary, that continue the spiritual conversation of the Psalms.
Volunteers Needed at Welborne for the First Monday of Each Month
Welborne United Methodist Church is looking for more All Saints volunteers to help with food distribution on the first Monday of each month. Volunteers serve from 4:30–6:30pm, delivering groceries to pre-screened patrons in their cars. This is a great opportunity for teens to earn volunteer hours. Middle schoolers should attend with a parent, while high schoolers may serve independently. Signup here.
Are You OK?
Our Congregational Care Team wants you to contact a member of the team, Winston, or Ben+ if you or someone you love needs pastoral care or attention. As a community of Saints and friends, we believe in the power of prayer and being there to support you during challenging times. If you are ill, having surgery, hospitalized, mourning, or just struggling with something, please do not hesitate to reach out to the church office. We are here to bring you a meal, extend a helping hand, lend an attentive ear, and offer prayers. We want you to be OK, and help in any way we can.
Partnership with Welborne United Methodist Food Pantry - Donations + Volunteer Opportunities
We began providing food donations to Welborne's Community Food Pantry when COVID began and continue to collect shelf stable food donations. Donations are accepted anytime and can be dropped off in the green shed by the All Saints playground. To see their most needed items, please check their facebook page.
