About the "EE" Commission
This commission is about inviting, welcoming, and including people in to the life of the parish. Each Sunday, members of the parish act as Greeters at the church doors to provide a friendly face to churchgoers. They are the folks who wear the big “Ask Me” buttons. So if you need help on a Sunday morning, they are the ones to find. Others serve as Ushers during the service, providing pew bulletins, shepherding the congregation during the service, and giving Welcome Bags to visitors.
This commission is responsible for creating the Welcome Bags as well as Busy Bags for little children to use during the service. Members of the commission make follow-up calls to visitors and help them to become integrated in the life of the parish.
Are you interested in exploring what it means to be an inviting church? Would you like to be more active in sharing the good news of Jesus Christ—which is what evangelism is, after all. We always need Greeters, Ushers, and Newcomer Mentors.
If you feel called to this ministry or you would just like more information, please contact Mthr. Hill at 817-732-1424 or via email at Mthhill@asecfw.org.
Parish Life
The purpose of the Parish Life Commission is to help build and sustain a joyful, loving, and caring community of Christians in this place we know as All Saints’.
​
Those active in Parish Life feel especially called to assist in the welcoming of newcomers and in the promotion of fellowship among existing members of the parish family.
​
Food preparation and service are chief among the passions of the creative and hard-working Parish Life volunteers.
Some of the yearly events for Parish Life include a breakfast/lunch served to our hard working volunteers during the fall and spring parish workdays, a lunch provided for our annual parish meeting, and several newcomer coffees given throughout the year for our newest members.
Parish Life gives all the beautiful receptions for the organ recitals offered during the year.
​
Parish Life is also especially active during the holiday seasons. Easter day is full of activities and the commission sponsors the Easter Hoppening lunch. Parish Life helps with the fun festivities during the Halloween Fall Festival. The commission also participates in the Thanksgiving Feast which provides a Thanksgiving meal first to our shut-ins and then the parish. During the Christmas season Parish Life provides refreshments for those who go Christmas caroling to the parish’s shut-ins, and the commission also provides a lovely reception for our Christmas concert.
​
Parish Life also extends hospitality to All Saints’ Episcopal School for the kindergartners and their families at a fun reception following a special Matriculation service which takes place at the beginning of the school year. The commission also provides a lovely reception for the school’s seniors and their families after the Baccalaureate service which takes place at school’s year end.
​
As you can see Parish Life is a very active commission and we welcome you to be a part of this special ministry at All Saints’.
