Help women in need this month! |

January 14th-February 14th |
Do you have a pair of new or lightly used women's athletic shoes? Consider donating them to our Perryville Prison Ministry! Perryville Women's Prison often runs short of shoes to provide to releasees, and your donation will help women walk out of prison and back into society.
To donate, please bag or rubber band pairs together to avoid separation, and place them in the red bins in the Church Narthex. All sizes and widths are needed.
|
|
|
If you have shoes stored above the Acolyte robe closet in the Acolyte Sacristy, please remove them before January 28th. Thank you!

Sign up to help with Children, Youth and Family Ministries! |
We have several up and coming youth events and groups that need assistance. If you are interested in working with children and youth in our church, you must first be trained in safe and ethical boundaries. The training program is called Safeguarding God's Children, and can be completed at home at your convenience.
To sign-up, please email your full name and email to Chesirae Valentine at cvalentine@allsaintsoncentral.org

LET’S KEEP THE BLESSING BAGS COMING (AND GOING)
There are currently 8 Blessing Bags in their bookshelf in the Narthex. Help contribute to the next round!
There are three ways to contribute toward the purchase of the items in the bag:
- Please make a donation to All Saints' with "DOK Blessing Bags" in the memo line of a check or online pledge.
- If you are going to Costco or Sam's Club, pick up some socks, bottles of water, or a box of granola bars or similar treats (that will not go bad or melt!) while you’re there!
-
If you're on Amazon and need a few more things to qualify for free or faster shipping, consider adding items off the Blessing Bags List! Click here for ideas.

The clergy and staff of All Saints’, along with leadership at the Diocese of Arizona, continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic. Our current protocol is mask optional. If you have reason to wear a mask, please feel free to do so. Otherwise, we look forward to seeing your smile!
