New this year, we are expanding our Lenten supper options with ready to serve meals. We need 2-3 volunteers for each Wednesday to help with light-duty set-up, serving, and clean-up. Meals are served starting at 5:45pm, so plan to arrive 15-20 minutes before then for set-up. If you can help, email the main office or sign-up at the Welcome Center....  Read More

Gather at All Saints for four days filled with music, crafts, games, and Bible stories that help us step into God's living story and discover that our story and God's story are one in the same. Every splash, song, act of service or kind word are all moments that we become part of a great story-one of faith, hope, belonging, and love. Journey with us as we step into the stories at the Water's Edge ...  Read More

Striving for excellence is good. But, in a world of hyper-competition over just about everything including acclaim, wealth and status, how do we find meaning and value in ourselves in a way that is healthy and life-giving? And how does our own focus impact not just our own lives but those around us? Drawing from New York Times Bestselling author Miroslav Volf, we'll consider this award-winning boo...  Read More

The golden pink glow of the morning sun made the freshly fallen snow sparkle as the carriage rumbled down the road. The clatter of the horse's hooves was distant inside the plush velvet-lined interior. Edwin gaped once more as he looked around.Harriet had spent an hour the night before thanking Edwin before he was granted the reprieve of them being invited to dinner. They had slept in the guest qu...  Read More

Edwin followed Mr. Morris back into the grand foyer. His eyes weren't looking up at the majesty hidden in darkness this time, but instead down at his own worn shoes that shuffled across the marble. He rubbed his hands against the cold fabric of his pant legs as a dozen thoughts flitted across his mind like the snowflakes in the blizzard outside.This was it. All his mistakes—his failure to charge t...  Read More

Edwin stared into the dark abyss of the ravine. Beside him, Jo lifted the lantern, though it made no difference as the light did not reach more than a dozen feet out in the blizzard. It was like staring into a cauldron of molasses.Each snowflake that fluttered past made Edwin's heart leap for a moment, thinking the letter had returned, but then it fell back again. He refused to blink as he scanned...  Read More

Harriet's throat was tight as she waded through the thick snow. It was above her knee and fresh flakes were falling fast. Her fingers itched to grab the lantern from Jo and control the light herself, but she restrained herself. Instead, she held onto her hat, which threatened to blow off with each gust of wind."We should have found him by now." Her throat was dry and tight, and it hurt to shout ag...  Read More

It took Edwin several minutes to realize why everything seemed so much darker. At first he had thought it was just the growing snowstorm blocking out the moonlight, but then he noticed that Jo had abandoned him. That golden light which had been encouraging him from behind had turned around to leave him alone in the woods.Well, if he gives up that easily, Jo is obviously not a true friend, he thoug...  Read More

Jo stared at his friend, the orange light from the fallen lantern lighting him from below in a ghoulish, unnatural way. Edwin's mouth hung open and his eyes opened wide. He was frozen as the flakes fell past him. They both stared into the dark woods into which Harriet had run."She... She..." Edwin's mouth opened and shut, but the words were not coming to him.Jo could hear his own heart beating lik...  Read More

"No!" Edwin slammed his fists against the metal gate, the pain reverberating through him. "Come back!"His shout was lost in the wind. The tiny, dark shape shuffled up the drive, nearly lost in the distance amongst the ever-increasing snowflakes. After just a moment, it turned a corner and was lost amongst the trees."No! Please!" The metal rang out as he hit it again."Edwin, I..." Harriet placed a ...  Read More
