Retirement:  All Saints’ church secretary, Betty Gusta, will retire at the end of June, There will be cake and fellowship after the church service on June 23, 2013 to wish Betty well and to give everyone time to say thank you to Betty for the Christ centered service she has displayed as our church secretary for the past 7 years. She has walked with us through many changes. We want to wish her well in her new life adventure.

Barb Johnson, All Saints Church Council President

Betty wrote:  It comes time that my service at All Saints must come to an end. I will be retiring from my position as church secretary with my last day of service being 6-28-13. I thank all members of the congregational family for the opportunity to serve God’s purpose for me these last seven years at All Saints; however, I believe God is encouraging me now to seek my next service mission elsewhere.

 

I have complete confidence that you and the members of All Saints have found a new and exciting approach to fulfilling God’s mission of outreach and evangelism in and outside of the church setting. I pray that you seek out an administrative support person who will share in your mission and provide the energy, skills, and dedication to assist in realizing the goals and purpose God has assigned to All Saints. I will pray that God’s vision for All Saints is bright and spiritually prosperous. Serving at His pleasure, Betty

Pastor Clark will be on vacation from June 24 until July 8.  Pastor Don Sondrol will be presiding at worship for services on June 30 and July 7.
