Annual Meeting:  Following the 11am gathering THIS SUNDAY we will be holding our Annual Meeting in the auditorium. We ask members to make it a priority to participate, but anyone who is interested is welcome to attend.  This will be a great opportunity to hear about how All Saints functions as an organization and for Pastor Bill to share where we are at and where we see God leading us with our vision. 

Contribution Records:  Were mailed out on Tuesday of this week.  Any questions can be directed to accounting@believedoubtseek.org

Youth: This Saturday the youth will be volunteering at the Food Lifeline in Shoreline. For details, please email youth@believedoubtseek.org

Children's Ministries: Beginning this Sunday Gian Grosso will be taking over leadership of the 11am Children's Program.  Gian has been working with Jolie Lewis and Ali Anderson the past few months to get this fun new program rolling and is excited to move forward with it.  As we head into the Spring quarter we're looking to really explore what it looks like to bring the "believe, doubt, seek" ethos into our children's program.  We're also hoping to make the kids' space even more fun and inviting.

Hilltop Children's Center: As of this Friday, Hilltop has moved their childcare program back to their original facilities.  We're glad we had the opportunity to work with them over these past several weeks.  Their presence has been educational and enjoyable.  Thank you to everyone who made the extra effort to make their time here as pleasant as possible. 

Life Groups
: Stacy Baas has agreed to bring her vision to the coordination of life groups at All Saints!  She is planning a mid-quarter meeting with life group leaders during the 9:30 gathering on Sunday, March 8th.  This will take place of the life group leader meetings usually held on the first Sunday of each month. Read more about Stacy below!

Meet Stacy
Life Group Coordinator

Stacy Baas has been working behind the scenes for the past few years to help define the character of All Saints and to keep us focused on our vision as we've grown in many wonderful ways.  As we have been working to make involvement in life groups part of the All Saints culture Stacy has been on board meeting regularly with leaders and pouring her enthusiasm and focused thought into these efforts.  We're extremely pleased that Stacy has accepted our invitation to officially take on the ongoing coordination of life groups.  Here's a brief, personal introduction from our new Life Group Coordinator!

"I've been a Seattleite for 5 years, and attending All Saints for just about the same amount of time. I was attracted to All Saints because of the desire for open dialogue about what it means to be a Christ-follower, and the fact that it was OK to have questions and doubts. I joined a life group a little over a year ago with a lot of skepticism that it would be a place where I could further explore those questions, but in the past year I have been amazed and completely overwhelmed with the impact the group I joined has had on my life. I realized that if more people at All Saints had a chance to be a part of a group like the one I was in, amazing things could happen at All Saints and in Seattle. My goal in helping with life groups at All Saints is simply to give more people the chance to experience the community, growth, friendship and support of life groups, and thus see All Saints grow and mature as a result."  Stacy Baas
