Developments in the Global Anglican Communion- Please Read
In light of the recent development in GAFCON (of which our church is a founding part) and the wider Anglican Communion, I encourage each of you to read the following announcement linked to below. In short, some 85% of global Anglicans around the world (including us- the ACNA and REC) have broken fellowship with Canterbury and its churches due to persistent, unrepentant, and ever-growing egregious teachings and practices. It is our belief that the Church of England has departed from us, from Historic Anglicanism, and from the Christian Faith. While this day is very sad, it is also very necessary. Please keep the Church of Christ throughout the world and its faithful witness in your prayers. Here is a link to the article that you all should read: LINK
Annual Women of the Church Meeting- This Sunday (26th)
This Sunday, October 26th, the women of the church will hold their annual planning meeting. The meeting will take place in the sanctuary immediately following the service. All our women and young ladies are included and encouraged to attend.
A Big Thank you to the Yard Gang- For All Their Hard Work
A big All Saints thank you to Lisa, Glenn, Joanne, and Joanne’s grandson, River (as well as anyone else who has helped that I don’t know about) for all the incredible work they have done on the All Saints’ grounds. It is incredible! The church looks absolutely fantastic! Thank you!!!

4th Quarter Mission- Hammer and Heart
Each quarter of the year, All Saints has committed to come alongside a particular ministry in town to pray for them and to support their work. Our fourth quarter mission for 2025 is Hammer and Heart
Hammer and Heart is a ministry located in the Black Mountain Chimney Rock NC area that is working to provide construction for those still recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Helena. They are also assisting with much needed debris removal from areas where piles of stuff still remain.
Now that the cameras are gone and our Nation’s attention has, for the most part, moved elsewhere, the women of All Saints thought it would be a wonderful idea to come in after all the publicity is gone and help those still struggling to recover. Therefore, throughout the 4th quarter of this year we will be collecting donations to send to H & H to assist them in their efforts.
You may make a check out to All Saints and include “Hamer and Heart” or “Mission” in the “For” line of the check.
To learn more about Hammer and Heart and the work they are doing to help recovery, you can go to their web page here: LINK
Weekly Web Feature – Check It Out
Each week, the newsletter will feature a different aspect of our web site for you to try out. It is our hope that this will bring to your attention features that you may not have noticed before and, at the same time, will help familiarize you with the site as a whole. So be sure to check out our Web Feature section in each edition of the newsletter.
Web Feature (www.allsaintsgreenville.com)
In light of the recent development in GAFCON and the Anglican Communion (LINK), this week’s web feature is the REC (Reformed Episcopal Church) Resources page. The REC has several useful resources that they make available on line. These include a brief summary of the historic Ecumenical Councils accepted by the Church; various declarations made by the Church on its theological commitment (including the important Jerusalem Declaration); several key statements that define the REC’s positions on important currant issues (e.g. Sexual ethics and the Sanctity of life); as well as an online copy of the REC Prayer Book, the 39 Articles; and several occasional services that may be used for special events throughout the year; and so much more. I encourage you to spend a little time exploring the page so that you will be aware of the many resources available to you.
To find the REC Resources page, go to the All Saints’ Home page (www.allsaintsgreenville.com), locate the tool bar at the top right of the screen, select the Resources tab. On the left hand side of the ensuing page, under the Devotion column, scroll down and select the REC Resources button. Enjoy!!!
