A Word from Fr. Stu

All Saints has a remarkable story - one built not in a moment, but brick by brick. In 1886, a few faithful families laid the first stones of this spiritual home. For 140 years, the Lord has been building us together, just as St. Paul writes in Ephesians: “You are members of the household of God… built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone” (Eph. 2.19–20).

Because the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God is our sure foundation, the house still stands—and it continues to grow.

Our formation ministries frame strong lives of faith, shaping disciples of every age. Our outreach efforts open doors of compassion to our neighbors in need. And our worship—beautiful, reverent, and rooted in the Gospel—creates a dwelling place where God is truly praised and hearts are relieved.

All Saints is a home constructed in the grace of God, held together by love, and strengthened by every member who joins in the work.

As we look toward 2026, I invite you to help fortify and expand this house. By making your annual pledge, you are helping reinforce the foundation, raise new walls of ministry, and open wider doors of welcome. Your generosity helps ensure that many more will find shelter, belonging, and hope within this household of faith.

Christ is our cornerstone. Together, let us continue building.

The Rev. Stuart Shelby, Rector
