Hello, everyone. I want to wish you all a wonderful
and safe Holiday season, starting with
Thanksgiving! I hope you holiday is filled with
family and joy and good food and drink.
The Search process continues, and we are making
remarkable progress. The online interviews with
multiple candidates are complete, and we are
moving on to the in-person site visits and interviews
with the candidates and their spouses. This is an
exiting time in the process, because we can now
truly interact with our finalists. The Super
Committee (combined Search and Vestry) are
working well together, and the commitment to the
process is remarkable. Also remarkable, is the speed
at which this process is moving. We really are in the
final stages before issuing a call.
As a Parish, we are continuing to get it
done. Everywhere I look, people are stepping up
and making things better. The Rector's Office has
been cleaned and painted. The sliding glass door
that opens onto the Memorial Garden has been
replaced, and I am delighted by how much it
improves the room. Sometimes, you don't realize
how shabby something looks until it gets fixed. The
new door really brings the room to life. The Choir
Room has also had a face lift, with a thorough
cleaning, removal of the old, outdated wallpaper,
and a new coat of paint to bring it back to life as
well.
Message from the Senior Warden
The important thing to realize here, and these are just
two examples, is that no one requested this be
done. These works are wonderful examples of the
"we've got this" mentality and the "git r done" spirit
that has possessed our community in our transition.
We are helping ourselves, and don't it feel fine!
We have also started work on the Rectory! On
Saturday, 10/27, a capable group of volunteers
converged on the house and did a great deal of cleaning,
prep work, and painting. The main room has the first
coats of primer applied, and we'll be working on some
demolition work in upcoming weekends. Anything we
can do for ourselves saves us money, and I'm gratified
to see so many people take ownership of this
work. Please be on the lookout for announcements of
work days and see how you can help make a great home
for our new Rector. While we do the work we can do,
we are getting final bids from contractors and will soon
choose one to be our partner in the remodel. Progress
has admittedly been slow, but we are off and running.
Please continue in your support of your Ministries, our
Church, and each other. We are doing great. We are
making progress, and the work of Discernment is
nearing completion.
Thanks for all you do, and remember, we've got this!
With Love,
Leslie Penney, Senior Warden

Jesus told the disciples: “If you have faith as small as a mustard
see you can move mountains.” Thanks to many selfless people
here at All Saints, a mountain has been moved!
We hope our new Rector will enjoy the mountain of the
Priest’s office. A special thanks go out to John Beckwith,
Annette Finch, Florida Hinderliter, Betty Jordan, Carol Larson,
Linda Lorentz, Linda Neufeld, Bonnie Pilcher, Yvonna Rowett,
Tammy and Allen Simmons, Barb Tool and Anita Wallinger.
Without the generosity and support of these “Mountain
Movers”, our task would have been much larger.
The new sliding door in the Priest’s office which open onto the Memorial Garden will be in place October
25, 2018. The cleaning of the carpets will be complete our project.
Thanks so much everyone, Betty Croghan

Financial Picture of the Parish
All Funds September 2018 YTD Budget YTD
Pledges $ 10,038.00 $ 112,166.00 $ 127,499.99
Receipts $ 17,735.39 $ 177,045.91 $ 176,047.52
Expense $ 9,392.52 $ 183,938.20 $ 188,200.75
Operating Income $ 12,987.69 $ 140,313.99 $ 137,737.50
Operating Expense $ 7,913.01 $ 131,525.93 $ 150,524.50
Net Surplus (Deficit) $ 8,342.87 $ (6,892.29) $ (12,153.23)
Pledge income was roughly $4,129 under the amount budgeted for the month of September. Overall, we are $5,334 below
our pledged budget goals for the year and need to keep up with our pledges.
Fund raising activity brought in $1,026.
Capital gifts were received for the rector's office and paint was purchased. A door has been ordered.
We received a $1,500 donation to the landscape fund and replaced thistles with sod and repaired a section of sprinkler.
We received a $3,000 donation to be used for the principal on the Consolidation Loan.
We paid supply priests expense instead of a priest's salary and benefits. Resulting in $5,200 fewer expenses.
Vacation Bible School expenses of $568 were paid.
Thank you again for your support of the ministries of All Saints.
An ongoing reminder that the large deficit you see is not an operating deficit. We spoke at the Annual Meeting of
the fact we raised $19,700 for the roof repair in 2017. We paid the bill during 2018 with the money raised
during 2017. This deficit will appear all during 2018. Please remove $19,700 from the deficit, and you will see
our actual income/expense situation. Thus, without the roof repair, we are currently around $12,808 in the black.
Parish Life
Parish Life: The committee met on October 14 to
coordinate the coffee hour hosts for October and
November. The committee is still in need of 1
Parish Life Co-Chair and prayerfully ask for
someone to take on this wonderful ministry.
Joan Pennington has volunteered to help co-chair
also, thank you Joan!!
The committee will meet again on November 4
during the Sunday coffee hour, anyone who would
like to help in this ministry is welcome to join
the meeting. There is a coffee hour sign up
sheet in the Narthex for the entire year, if there is a
special Sunday you would like to celebrate
(birthday, anniversary, season change) please sign
up. There are many openings for the months of
November and December.
Thank you!

As the chair of this year’s pledge campaign I want to focus on the mechanics and reality of the pledge drive, rather than the loftier, more important](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042221/5ec719e866dad3111f574b61/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Stewardship Committee
By the time you read this article you should
have received your pledge card for the coming
year. As the chair of this year’s pledge
campaign I want to focus on the mechanics and
reality of the pledge drive, rather than the
loftier, more important message of stewardship.
Every year the outcome of the pledge drive
determines the budget for the coming year.
This year we have an additional concern, the
calling of our new priest. We are also fixing up
the old rectory, formerly the Children’s Center,
into our new rectory. All of this while
addressing the on-going maintenance needs of
our parish home and our regular operational
costs.
My point here is that the pledge card, and the
commitment you express on it, is an important
part of the life cycle of the church. I ask that
you ponder it thoughtfully and prayerfully
before making your pledge. I hope you will
contribute to All Saints something that is
commensurate to the rewards you reap. I also
ask that you return it as promptly as possible so
that the vestry will have the time to ponder and
pray as they prepare our budget for the
upcoming year.

It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving
is approaching quickly which means that
Christmas is not far behind. We will once again
decorate our Sanctuary and Chapel with the lovely
double poinsettia plants. If you would like to “sponsor”
one of these plants, please let either Tammy in the
church office or Linda Stark/Altar Guild chair know.
The cost is the same as last year - $25 per plant. AND –
you do get to take them home to decorate your house.
The Christmas Season is such a lovely time of year so
let’s make our church equally lovely.

The Search team and Vestry are happy to announce
that after prayerful consideration the finalist have
been selected and face-to-face meetings will happen

candidates and the interviews are still confidential but
we anticipate making the call in the next six weeks.

Why We
Love All Saints…
Share Your Story!
Choir practice with Shauna Emara and several members is always a “high” in my week. I’m
not even afraid to sing in front of them. I was blessed last Sunday after practice with
a moment over coffee with Jim and Dave as we talked about me and caffeine.
I’ve always had a tendency to get hyper with people when I’m really happy, so I am
perpetually a bit hyper at All Saints, where I’m so thankful that my extra energy is
mostly welcome. So I remarked that I wouldn’t dare have any caffeine and Dave
grinned warmly at me, saying “we don’t want to have to scrape Rea off the
ceiling.” Then Jim commented, “but we do have really high ceilings here.”
That melts my heart. God bless the generous folks at All Saints!
