All Saints Episcopal Church, East Lansing

he activities found at All Saints are many and offer something for everyone! Some of our activities are crucial to ensuring preparedness for All Saints' services. The people of All Saints form a lively and engaging parish and we consider fellowship to be one of our greatest strengths. We are nurtured by each other through fellowship, and the intimacy which grows out of that is palpable when we are gathered together.

More often than not, the people of All Saints gather together around food - nourishing body as well as soul. (We love a good pot of soup!) Like the heart of any home, our church kitchen is the center of that fellowship.It is with grateful thanksgiving we work together in our newly renovated kitchen space.

There are a wide variety of opportunities for community building at All Saints. They range from the tried-and-true parish-wide events (such as the Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper, Annual Golf Outing and Parish Picnic) to smaller groups that gather, informally on the spur of the moment. In 2005, the parish began a "Second Sunday Breakfast" program serving parishioners between the Sunday services. Sometimes a smaller group grows out of a larger event and continues to meet independently. This assortment provides several types of fellowship, meeting different needs.

Fellowship has long been a mutual ministry at All Saints. Strong and healthy lay leadership exists in this place. Many events spring up on their own, guided by the one bearing the idea. There is enthusiasm among us for ministry! While we desire our clergy to be engaged and present during significant parish events, the executing of such functions rests primarily with lay leaders. With the Rector’s guidance, input and help from the congregation, the Vestry and Parish Life Committee works together to coordinate fellowship opportunities.
