All Saints Church

We seek to be a community who welcomes people of all backgrounds and family configurations. And we strive to be responsive to the needs of others. The Benedictines have a Latin motto, "ora et labora" - pray and work.  This phrase describes All Saints' well.  We are rooted in the liturgy of the Episcopal Church and also join together throughout the year to plant the garden, stack wood for winter fires, prepare and serve community meals, prepare a festive spreads for receptions, and sling burgers at summer picnics.   We pray for each other, we help provide meals and rides when a parishioner is in need. We offer healing prayer in times of distress or heartache. We believe in being present to each other's suffering and celebrating each other's joys. 

Our principal services are held on Sundays.  

From Homecoming Sunday in September through Trinity Sunday, we have three celebrations of Holy Eucharist each Sunday and one on Wednesday at noon. In the church, we celebrate Rite I from the Book of Common Prayer at 8 a.m. and Rite II at 10 a.m.  Rite Now, an informal Eucharist with a community sermon reflection is celebrated in Reynolds Hall on most Sundays at 10 a.m. and at 5 p.m. on the second Saturday of each month instead of Sunday.  On Wednesdays we meet at noon in the chapel of the church for Eucharist and on Thursdays we have Eucharist at 5:30 p.m. followed by quiet prayer.

During the summer months, we have one celebration of the Holy Eucharist at 9 a.m. We offer a weekly Community Supper from September through June on Tuesdays from 5:30 to 6:30pm. Each Supper features two homemade soups, breads, salad and dessert. We have monthly community picnics in the summer and board game nights for all ages.
