The Church Office will be closed Monday, January 20, in observance of the national holiday to honor civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This means that no Bible & Babble meeting will be held that day.
Enjoy the holiday, as we remember the man who reminded us that: "Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase."

Milestone Reached in Rector Search
The Diocese of Los Angeles has a rigorous and broad-based process for assisting parishes in their discernment of a rector, which the All Saints Profile Committee, Discernment Committee and Vestry have been navigating for the past year.
As part of that process, All Saints was required to develop a one-page summary of the now-complete Parish Profile, as well as an eight-page Community Ministry Portfolio. This document contains information about All Saints and the position being offered, as well as eight short essays on various aspects of All Saints' mission and ministries, largely drawn from the Parish Profile. These documents have been lodged with the Diocesan Office of Transition Ministry, which has uploaded them onto the national church's Positions Open Bulletin, where it will be available to clergy nationwide. Both documents are available at asbts.org.
Fifteen ordained priests have contacted the Office of Transition Ministry in the past few months. The national church posting is already generating interest. March 1 has been set as the deadline for applications to become the next Rector. Anyone with questions or who would like more information, contact Denny Bacon or Andy Rosenberger, Discernment Committee co-chairs. |
