Bishop’s Visit- Thank you all
Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make our Bishop’s visit such a celebration. It was a wonderful time of encouragement and fellowship. I know that Bishop and Mrs. Hill both appreciated all that each of you did. Well done and thank you!
Congratulation to our Confirmands
Congratulations to Brad, Nancy, and Billy on their confirmation. I know how much work each of you put in and the Bishop was so pleased at how well ya’ll did during his meeting with you on Saturday.
Upcoming Events
Part II of our Adult/Confirmation/New Members Sunday School Class will begin on May 5th. I encourage everyone to attend this class, even if you have already been through it with us before. Part II of the class will cover our Sunday Morning Eucharistic Service, explaining what we are doing and why we are doing it at every step of the service- from the ringing of the bell at the start of the service to the closing prayer. Plan to join us and have your Sunday morning worship enriched.
2nd Quarter Mission- Piedmont Woman’s Center
Each quarter of the year, All Saints has committed to come alongside a particular ministry in town to pray for them and to support their work. Our second quarter mission for 2023 is the Piedmont Woman’s Center.
The goal of the Piedmont Woman’s Center is to assist and encourage women who are pregnant not to seek an abortion but to have their baby. Their services include: providing free laboratory quality pregnancy testing, free pregnancy consultations, and free Limited OB ultrasounds at three locations in the Upstate region. You can learn more here: LINK
You can support this important work through (a) monetary donations (remember to place “2nd Quarter Mission” or Piedmont Women’s Center” on the FOR line of your check); or (b) you can also donate items that the center needs to help these young mothers. There is a list of needed items on the mission table in the parish hall.

Weekly Web Feature – Check It Out
Each week, the newsletter will feature a different aspect of our web site for you to try out. It is our hope that this will bring to your attention features that you may not have noticed before and, at the same time, will help familiarize you with the site as a whole. So be sure to check out our Web Feature section in each edition of the newsletter.
This week’s web feature is the REC Foreign Missions Page. Here you will find current updates from the Reformed Episcopal board of Foreign Missions. These updates will include information about various REC mission works around the world as well as particular prayer requests for these works. I encourage you to stay informed about what God is doing through our Church and to keep all these works in your prayers.
To find the Foreign Missions page, go to the All Saints’ Home page (www.allsaintsgreenville.com), locate the tool bar at the top right of the screen and click on the Resources tab. On the ensuing page, in the left hand column under “Devotions”, select the REC Foreign Missions button. Enjoy!!!
