Fellowship Committee
is a group where we gather in fellowship to promote informal opportunities for
parishioners to meet and share as we build the community of All Saints’. One of
the ways we build our sense of community is by working together. Not only do we
share the comradeship of our work experience, but we share our combined efforts
with and for the wider parish. Opportunities may include preparing food at home
or at the church, setting tables, hosting an event, cleaning up after an event,
assisting as a volunteer in the church office with the preparation of
parish-wide mailings and other parish projects.
Los Amigos
is a social group of adults in their 30s and 40s who meet once a month for fellowship, food and laughter. Most adults in this group have school age children; however children are rarely invited to the Los Amigos events. Activities include bowling, a post-Christmas Grinch party, and a St. Patrick's Day feast.
Mi Amicis is a social group of young adults in their 20s and 30s with either no children or young children. There are planned monthly potluck dinners or some other activity [generally with no children].
