What a great event! We had around 100 people show up over the course of the morning and we touched a lot of lives. Deacon Bob will be getting us an article very soon here to go into more detail of the day, but in the meantime, here are some upcoming dates. Our next communtiy involvement will be held on March 17, 2018 followed up in the fall of next year on October 6, 2018. Both of these events will be hosted by the Dream Center.

Getting to Know Chef Bruce

Two words define the journey of Chef Bruce Tuttle from the kitchens of downtown Lakeland restaurants to the kitchen of All Saints’ church: Divine Intervention. 

“That’s exactly how I’d define it,” says Bruce, who joined the church staff as Director of Food Services in April. “I had no idea that I would find my home here at All Saints’. But as soon as I came to this church, I had a sense that this was meant to be.”

About Outreach at All Saints'

All Saints’ recognizes that we are called by God to be His representatives and His presence in the world. We seek to serve our community by focusing on potent partnerships and meaningful opportunities to put our Christian faith into action. 

Our teens had an enriching time during their summer homegrown mission week, and now it is time to invite them to come back and to bring along families and members of our parish to provide a good neighbor ministry in partnership with Lakeland Police and the Dream Center. We will be meeting at Crystal Grove Park (The address is 1661 Crystal Grove Drive) on Saturday, September 30th from 9:00 a.m. to noon to walk the neighborhood doing random acts of kindness for people living in the neighborhood. Some might pick up trash, others might mow lawns, and others might speak with neighbors and pray for the neighborhood. Please consider coming out to join in this significant ministry for our community and with one another as a parish family. Please be prompt as things will get rolling right at 9:00 a.m.

Thursdays Are Ladies' Night

There are three different types of offerings for the women of our church this fall on Thursday evenings. We have fellowship opportunities, a Bible study option, and a women's book study group.

If you enjoy food and fellowship, we had a very successful Publix Aprons outing in August and another one will take place on October 5th from 6 - 9 p.m. at the Lake Miriam Publix. We also will have a baking night with Chef Bruce on November 30th to have fun during the festive time of year while preparing food for our annual Lessons & Carols reception.

If you see me approaching with a notebook and pen in hand...

Dear All Saints’ Family, 

Last Sunday, Aug. 20, was a big day for me as I officially became a member of All Saints.’ My husband, Tim, and I have been attending since January and immediately felt warmly welcomed.  As I got to know the church I became more and more involved: attending Father Reid’s Monday-night “From the Rector’s Perspective” class, participating in the Spring Parish Academy session, joining the Book Club, attending a Ladies’ Night outing to Orlando to hear Beth Moore’s inspiring message to more than 5,000 people, and more.  A special highlight for me was attending the installation service for Father Reid.
