Advent 2020: The Light in the darkness
December 18
O Adonai, and Leader of the house of Israel, who appearest in the bush to Moses in a flame of fire, and gavest him the Law in Sinai: Come and deliver us with an outstretched arm.

Almighty God, whose Son our Savior Jesus Christ is the light of the world: Grant that your people, illumined by your Word and Sacraments, may shine with the radiance of Christ's glory, that he may be known, worshiped, and obeyed to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, now and for ever. Amen
~ Collect for Second Sunday after Epiphany

O Adonai, and Leader of the house of Israel, who appearest in the bush to Moses in a flame of fire, and gavest him the Law in Sinai: Come and deliver us with an outstretched arm.

Nativity Scene/Crèche Photos Request - during the Twelve Days of Christmas (Dec. 25-Jan. 5) we’ll share photos of different nativity scenes from All Saints’ parishioners, one each day. Please send a photo of your creche at home, including a short description or story about it, and we will share it with the parish family via e-mail during Christmas season. We’ve already received some lovely ones. Please send your photos to allsaints_rector@hotmail.com. Thank you!

Christmas Music Memorials and Donations – Our music at Christmas is always augmented by some professionals (two singers, a violinist). And this year when we cannot gather in person our Choirs and Director of Music have been working especially hard to make their offering and support for our worship meaningful, prayerful, and beautiful in a fully recorded and produced service of music and readings. To make a donation to support the Christmas music in memory or honor of a loved one use the new on-line giving portal (see below) or use the music envelope that was mailed to you with the Christmas letter. The names of those being remembered or honored will be included in our on-line bulletin. We need the names by Monday, 12/21. You can e-mail those names to Parish Administrator Susie Harris at allsaints_church@hotmail.com.
General Christmas donations may also be contributed on-line or by envelope. Thank you for your support of All Saints’ and of our Music Ministry at Christmas time!

Stewardship Witness - Using Your Gifts to Serve Others/Finding a Way to Help: an Interview with a High School Senior – last spring 17 year-old Johannes Wellerding began an outreach ministry to create much needed Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for area medical and long-term care facility staff during the pandemic. He created this PPE with his 3D printer. Listen to a conversation he recorded with his mother Leanna, about the way he has put God’s gifts to work to help others – and be inspired! Thank you, Johannes. The video is here on our Giving page http://www.allsaintsmillington.org/giving.html

Bible Study this week is on Wed., Dec. 23 at 10:15 am. We are looking at the Old Testament readings for the four Sundays of Advent.This week is 2 Samuel 7:1-11, 16. To participate in this Zoom class please e-mail Mother Vicki at allsaints_rector@hotmail.com.  

All Saints’ Rummage Shoppe – Thank you to all our wonderful Rummage workers and to Kimberly Celeste for her leadership in this fund-raising effort. We raised $5100+ for All Saints’ mission and ministries! happen in such a unique way!
Stewardship: Year-end Giving Deadline – all pledge payments and donations for 2020 need to be received in the Parish Office by Monday 12/28 in order for us to credit you with a 2020 donation.
