Weather You Like It Or Not....
Brrrr! Here we go again. Winter. And with winter comes that not-so-fun white and slippery stuff. Although Marya virtually never cancels services -- she's from Iowa, don't forget -- there are those occasions where, for safety's sake, we should all really stay at home. To find out if services are cancelled or delayed, please go to 7News Boston -- WHDHand check the station's storm closing notices. You can also download their WHDH mobile app from the app store and check All Saints' storm status anywhere, anytime. We'll also post notices on our webpage - you can find the page on the drop-down menu on the home page.
Winter Clothing Drive
We are collecting new wrapped hats, gloves and socks (labeled for man or woman) for the patrons of Lifebridge. Presents can be left in the labeled box in the Narthex by December 23. Thank you for your support helping the less fortunate at this wonderful time of year.
Bible Study will resume on January 3, 2019, as our Bible Study will switch to Thursday mornings. Please join us!
