Text: 75 Masterpieces Every Christian Should Know, by Terry Glaspey
Can beauty be a way to God? Can art spark faith? Yes! Good art has a transcendent effect. Art can stir our conscience, give us hope, melt a hard heart, let us glimpse the divine. In creating good art, we reflect the image of the one who created all things—the One who built a universe and said “it is good.”
We will be hosting this year's Southwest Deanery Women's Ministries' meeting on Saturday, April 14th. The registration table will be open at 8:30 a.m. and Chef Bruce will be providing a continental breakfast and lunch as part of the morning's workshop. Guest Deborah Henson-Governor will be with us to guide us in a spiritual gifts inventory, followed by a service of Morning Prayer in our nave with Rev. Kathy Hulin.
Polk County Grady Judd will be visiting us on Sunday, April 22nd. This is his second visit to All Saints’ Church. He will be joining us for a lunch at 12:15 p.m. (register here) and then sharing with us at 1:00 p.m. in a Town Hall forum. Sign-up today to attend the lunch and forum.
Bishop Greg Brewer will be with us on Sunday, May 13th to preach and celebrate at our 8:50 service and to preside over our Confirmation Service at 10:50 a.m. Confirmands have been preparing for the service since the beginning of February and they are ready to make their mature, public profession in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior before Bishop Brewer and the congregation.
We had a wonderful week of services during Holy Week. Thank you to everyone from the Acolytes and Altar Guild to the Vergers and Vestry for preparing for and participating in our worship services. We were blessed by our beautiful worship each day and by the visitors and extended family who came to be with us.
The Lord is risen! The Lord is risen indeed! Alleluia! Alleluia!
We held our first semi-annual work day in the North Lake Wire neighborhood on Saturday, March 17th. It was a huge success with 103 people from All Saints' coming out to volunteer, and we were joined by Chief Giddens and officers from the Lakeland Police Department, and four from The Dream Center to help provide tools and community resources.
This morning, the Dream Center of Lakeland shared a post on Facebook that thanked All Saints' for our partnership in the community as well as encouraging other churches to get involved as well, for their cause. Here it is in case you missed it:
Church Partner Shoutout: All Saints' Episcopal Church
If there was ever a church that "caught the vision," it would certainly be All Saints' Episcopal Church!
Starting off as a participant in our citywide outreaches, All Saints' quickly decided they wanted more. Before long, the church had chosen to make the North Lake Wire neighborhood, in Lakeland's northwest quadrant, their home base for community outreach.
Save the date for Saturday, March 17th from 8:45 a.m. to noon to help with this special outreach project in the Lake Wire neighborhood. Deacon Bob Johnson and our Outreach Team are leading the way in coordination with the Dream Center and the Lakeland Police Department. We will be the hands and feet of Christ to love and serve the Lord!
