Semi-Annual Congregation Meeting

The Semi-Annual Congregation Meeting will be Sunday, May 5 at 11:45 am (directly following the worship service). This meeting is for elections (see positions on bulletin board in the gathering space) and to celebrate what the church has done over the past year. After the meeting, we will have a Mexican themed pot-luck in the gathering space.

Bible Study

Bible Study will be every Monday during the month of May (May 6th – May 27th) at 6:00 pm at All Saints Lutheran Church – The Revelation Re-run! Back by popular demand, for the month of May, come learn about this final book of the Bible, and how it can speak to our faith today. If you missed the Revelation study last fall, need a refresher, or are just plain curious, this study is for you.
