Join us today in worship

This morning we celebrated the last Sunday in the calendar year. What a year it’s been. We continue to pray for you every week.

I’m glad to announce that we had church again this morning (Sunday the 27th December).

You’ll see a picture of a camel train in our opening slides—the wise men are on their way!

You can find the Service by clicking HERE.

This is a wonderful time to fellowship together.

A couple of quick reminders:

1. Please continue to pray for and give to our “Project Oikos.” We have now raised nearly $300,000—praise the Lord.

2. If you would like to let others know about Project Oikos on Facebook, please feel free to do so. If you would like us to send you a template for your Facebook page, let me know. We’ll send one to you right away.

3. Finally, one of the options we’re considering—in order to buy us some time for fundraising in the new year—is to put together a “friendly” mortgage. Our goal will be to find 10 people who can each lend All Saints Church $200,000 for about 12 months. That way we can buy the building (our deadline is January 15th, 2021), and take some time to continue our fundraising strategies into the new year. If you’re in a position to help with a friendly loan, please let me know. (Our corporate law firm can help set up the details.)

Of course, if you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to call me.

See you at church.

The peace of our Lord,

Bishop Peter (and Jenny) Klenner

The peace of our Lord,

Bishop Peter (and Jenny) Klenner
