Streaming Trouble- Towards a Resolve

I apologize that our live stream of this Sunday’s worship was once again down. I had hoped that the new equipment on the internet side of things would resolve the issue. However, it appears that the power surge we had during an electrical storm also got to the live streaming encoder as well. I have just placed an order for a new encoder. It will be here this week and Lord willing, I should have it all configured and set up in time for next week’s service. 

!!!Happy Veterans Day- Tuesday, November 11^th!!!

This Wednesday is veterans’ day and once again we are reminded of the huge debt of gratitude that we owe to the many men and women who have served this country and protected its freedom. Please be sure to express your appreciation to the veterans you know for the service and sacrifice they have given us all. If you are a veteran and are reading this, please accept this heart felt “thank you” from our entire All Saints family. At the same time, let us all show our gratitude for the sacrifices made for our freedom by using that freedom as witnesses and faithful stewards of all that God has given us in this country.

Below is a prayer for our veterans that I invite you to pray with our parish on Wednesday.

Almighty God, the Lord of hosts, we ask thy blessings on all those who have served this country in the armed forces. We ask thy care for the veterans who have been wounded, in body or soul, in conflicts around the globe.

We pray Lord that you would bring healing to their bodies, peace to their hearts, and peace to the regions where they fought.

Bless all soldiers who served in non-combative posts. May their calling to service continue throughout their lives.

Finally, Lord, we pray that the peoples of this earth would so value and affirm the life of every human being that they would long for peace and the end of all wars. This we pray in the name of the Prince of Peace, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen

Minutes from the Women’s meeting- Second Attachment

The minutes from the annual Women of the Church meeting (held last month) is in the second attachment to this email.

Volunteers’ Nursery Scheduled- Emailed

Attention all Nursery Volunteers– an email was sent to each of you yesterday (Sunday 11/08) around 1PM with the nursery schedule attached. Please make sure you run off a copy of the schedule to have at hand.  

Also note: Isaac and Susan, I sent the emails for Jaklyn and Hayleigh to you.

!!! Annual Pledge Drive- Is Underway !!!

Each person is asked to fill out a pledge card for our upcoming Church year (the Church year begins on the first Sunday in Advent, which, this year, is November 29^th). You may pick up a pledge card from:

• You may print off a copy from the first attachment to this edition of the 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
• The Information Table in the Parish Hall

The pledge cards are a part of our season of preparation. Our expectation is that 10 out of every 10 families will bring the whole 10% tithe into God’s house for this upcoming Church year. The reason is that God has called each of us to do so in His Word. Furthermore, if we are going to ask God to bless our family and church in big ways, we need to be faithful with the blessings He has already put in our hand.

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 22^nd.

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 22^nd.

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 22^nd 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.

2027 Pledge Cards- First Attachment

The pledge cards for the upcoming year are in the first attachment to this edition of the newsletter. You can print off the card, fill it out, and bring it to church on November 22^nd for our service of dedication.

Fourth Quarter Mission- Upstate Warrior Solution

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 4^th Quarter Mission this year is the Upstate Warrior Solution, which is a fantastic mission for our 4^th quarter considering that Veteran’s Day (Nov 11) falls within the 4^th quarter. 

Upstate Warrior Solution is a local organization that offers service coordination for veterans, first responders, and their families. To learn more about all the various services that Upstate Warriors provides, please visit their website. LINK

We will be collecting cash donations in a jug in the parish hall. Also, for those who wish to make a donation by check, simply put “Mission” or “Upstate Warriors” on the “For” line of your check. As always, go to their website and learn more about this wonderful work; and please, include them and those they serve in your prayers.

Finally, for those who expressed interest in helping the Salvation Army, Lisa Wallis will be organizing that event(s), when the time comes.  

Gayl Wright- Has a New Devotional Book

Gayl’s new book is titled, Inspiration from the Psalms: A 365-Day Meditative Journal. She has drawn from her years of journaling through the Psalms, filling notebooks with scripture, poems, prayers, and simple artwork.  Each day includes:

• a daily Psalm reading 
• an excerpt from the reading
• haiku
• prayer
• inspiring photograph

Its purpose is to encourage readers to not only read the Psalms but to meditate on them and then write their own responses.

The Kindle edition is now available to preorder on Amazon and will be released on November 14. The paperback may be ready by that date or shortly after.

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

In honor of All Saints Day (November 1^st), this week’s web feature is the Lives of the Saints feature on our devotion page.

Now remember All Saints Day is one of the important celebrations of the Church year. On All Saints Day and the week following it we remember the oneness of the Body of Christ, especially those who have gone before us, the assurance of the resurrection, and the certainty of the mission that Christ has given us. Thus, our celebration of All Saints reminds us of both our debt to the past as well as our obligation to deliver the Faith we have received to future generations.

This week’s web feature then is intended to help make your celebration of All Saints an enriching blessing. The Lives of the Saints feature on our devotion page provides information about the major figures of Church History and why the Church remembers them. The saints are listed alphabetically, by their place on the Church Calendar (so you can read about the saint or saints being remembered during any given week of the year), or you can search for a particular saint in whom you are interested. As you read I encourage you to note the examples set by past believers as well as the sacrifices they made to pass the faith on to those who would come after.

To find the Lives of the Saints feature, go to the All Saints’ Home page (www.allsaintsgreenville.com), locate the tool bar at the top right of the screen and click on the Resources tab. On the left hand column of the ensuing page, scroll down and click on “Lives of the Saints”. Enjoy!!!
