The congregation is reminded that our Columbarium, for members of our congregation and their families, has niches available to be reserved at any time. The word ‘columbarium’ is derived from the Latin term columba, meaning “dwelling place of a dove.” The dove, of course, has long symbolized in Christian tradition the embodiment of the Holy Spirit. Our Columbarium, located in the Memorial Prayer Garden, offers a sacred space for the inurnment of cremated remains. We encourage anyone who would like to learn more about our Columbarium to pick up informational materials in the corridor leading into the Memorial Prayer Garden, or call the church office.
Volunteers are needed for recording Sunday worship services. You can worship in your regular pew, at your regular service, while helping with the recording. We post the sermon portion of the recordings to our website every week, unless our recording volunteers are away and a recording is not made. Help us build our recording team! The recording is done via an Ipad that is already set-up for you. Specific instructions are provided. If this ministry seems appealing to you, please contact Wendy Register at 843-576-9281 or aslc.membership@gmail.com.
This year marks the 25th year of respite care programs held weekly at All Saints, providing social day programs and caregiver support groups for individuals and families affected by memory disorders. The day programs help support and strengthen families, allowing the continuation of care in the home. These programs are managed by Respite Care Charleston, a 501c(3) non-profit and non-denominational organization whose directors and staff, along with volunteers, provide care and activities for participants in seven area locations each week. The respite care program held at All Saints meets on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:45-1:45. If you would like to join our volunteer team, for one or both days, or if you have a talent or gift of service to share with the program, please contact the church office. You may also contact the Respite Care Charleston staff directly at 843-647-7405.
