Change: Vestry Meeting- This Monday, November 17th
The Vestry will meet this Monday evening, 7:00 in the parish hall.
Please note the change.
!!!Pledge Cards and Service of Dedication- This Sunday!!!
This Sunday (November, 23rd) is our service of Dedication. During this service we will offer our pledges for the upcoming year to God with praise and thanksgiving. Therefore, please remember to bring both sections of your pledge cards with you to Church this Sunday.
Here is how the service of Dedication will work just to give you an idea of what to expect.
- Your pledge card has two parts. Fill both parts out and then detach the card. Put the large portion of the card in a sealed unmarked envelope. Bring both it and the smaller part of the card with you to church this Sunday
- On Sunday drop the smaller portion of the Card in the offering plate (remember do not sign this small part of the card).
- Keep the larger portion which is in the unmarked envelope with you. After church we will offer these to the Lord in our service of Dedication.
- Immediately after worship (before fellowship time) we will hold our service of Dedication on the front porch.
I encourage each of you to prepare your heart this week with prayer, Scripture, and reflection. Then come to God’s house on Sunday with a renewed sense of excitement and expectation about what our heavenly Father is doing in our midst.
Also, please note: If you do not have a pledge card, there is a copy that you can print out in the first attachment to this newsletter.
Or you may download a copy from the All Saints Website. The button for the Pledge Card download is found in the right hand column of the Resources Page under Forms. You will be prompted to save the form to your computer. Here is the LINK
Blythe Update
Earlier today, Blythe was having some chest tightness, coughing, and higher respiration. Her doctor told her to go to the E.R. to make sure it was not another pulmonary embolism. Several test later they have ruled out all such concerns and have concluded that it is just a virus. Praise the Lord!
Pledge Card Instructions
The Pledge Cards have two sections. The first section is your pledge and commitment to God.
- After prayerful consideration of God’s will for your giving, fill this card out and detach it.
- Place it in an unmarked envelope and bring it to church with you on Thanksgiving Sunday, November 23rd.
No one is to see your pledge. It is a promise between you and God. We will offer our pledges to God in a service of thanksgiving and dedication on the 23rd.
The other portion of the card (the smaller section) will simply have the amount you have pledged. It will have no indication of who made the pledge. Please do not put your name on this part of the card.
- You will need to bring this portion of the card with you on the 23rd as well.
- You will place it in the offering plate.
The purpose of this portion of the pledge card is to allow our church to set its budget. Thus while no one will know who has pledged what, we will still have an idea of what the church as a whole is pledging to give. As such, we will be able to set our budget accordingly.
I cannot stress what a joyous and important time this is in the life of our parish. As we seek God’s blessings for the future, a large part of our preparation will be to make sure that we are being faithful stewards of the blessings that God has already given us.

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 (www.allsaintsgreenville.com)
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.
In light of our Pledge Drive and upcoming Service of Dedication, this week’s web feature is the All Saints’ Form page. It has all the forms we use throughout the year for our various programs and function. For example, two relevant forms for this time of year that you will find are our Christmas Poinsettia memorial form and our Annual pledge card. You can download any of the items and in many cases you can even fill them out online and then send them to the church from your computer with just a click of a button.
To find the All Saints’ Forms Page, go to the All Saints’ home page (www.asgville.com). On the tool bar at the top right of the page, select Resources. The various forms are located in the right hand column of the ensuing page under Forms
