Theirs Are the Shoulders Upon Which We Stand Today
Generations of parishioners before us raised funds to construct, expand and care
for All Saints' Sanctuary. Thanks to more than a century of careful guardianship, this
beautiful building is much more than bricks and mortar--it is the foundation of all
that we do and of all that we hope to do.
For 114 years, our beautiful and sacred Sanctuary has served as the foundation for
Worship, Formation and Outreach. With its iconic Craftsman design of stone and
wood, the Sanctuary has been a warm and welcoming beacon that has brought us
together in Christian community and provides a base for us to reach out to neighbors
near and far.
Now we have an opportunity to honor
that heritage by doing all that we can
to ready the Sanctuary for its
--and our--next 114 years.
"No one has ever given to God's work out of
pure love...but what two-fold, even four-fold,
blessings have been received in return."
