Gatherings

As we begin Living Responsibly with the Virus, the All Saints' campus is opening for small groups and ministry meetings. The listings below indicate the current status of each group, meeting either by Zoom or other online methods and/or in person. As we begin our post-pandemic re-gatherings, please contact the leader of each group for the most current information.

Building Use Request Form: As ministries are flourishing and expanding their scope of work, a new system of requesting building space use has been added to the website in a Building Use Request Form. All groups from All Saints' whether meeting one time or repeat, are asked to complete this form to reserve meeting spaces. The ministry leader or one designated individual will complete and submit the form online and staff will review the request for date, time and space availability. Groups from outside All Saints' will also be required to submit the same form, but All Saints' groups are given preferential assignments.

While staff will attempt to accommodate all requests, there will be instances when a space, date or time is not available. Please refrain from publicizing events until your request has been approved to avoid confusion. The form will also give you an opportunity to indicate your specific needs for equipment and setup. Either Marvin Jones or Mona Myers will acknowledge your request and confirm details.

The form is still a work in progress and suggestions are appreciated. To find the form on the All Saints' website, you may search for "Building Use Request" then click on the link for more information.

Groups

Adult Ed Committee (Suspended)
Our Adult Education Committee does ongoing planning to bring programs that provide a wide range of interesting topics designed to best suit our parish’s needs/availability and concerns. The Committee meets seasonally to brainstorm and schedule speakers for Sunday mornings and weekday programs. Speakers are invited to share their expertise in conversational style integrating theory and their personal experience. The success of our program is evidenced by participation, enthusiasm, and positive feedback the committee receives. Adult Education topics includes: Spiritual Formation, Episcopal Life, Biblical Study, Current Issues, Life Stages, Church and the Arts, and Theology and Philosophy.

Daughters of the King (Hybrid Zoom & In Person)
Founded in 1885, The Order of the Daughters of the King is an order of women who are communicants of the Episcopal Church, churches in communion with it, or churches in the Historic Episcopate. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, each Daughter takes a lifetime vow to live by the Rule of the Order. Our Rule of Life and our vision of the Daughters of the King is to know Jesus Christ, to make Him known to others, and to become reflections of God’s love throughout the world. A Daughter pledges herself to a life of prayer, service and evangelism, and she is dedicated to the spreading of Christ’s Kingdom and the strengthening of the spiritual life of her parish.

The Order of the Daughters of the King will resume meeting in person every second Sunday (11:30am) in Masterson Library located in Gregg Parish House. We invite all women of the parish to come as our guests.

Daughters of the King St. Catherine’s Chapter have elected a new slate of officers! They are:
Diane Owens, President
Barbara Hannon, Vice President
Vivien Geneser, Treasurer
Beverly Pond, Secretary

Heavenly Hosts is All Saints’ lay hospitality ministry whose mission is to be a welcoming and gracious presence to all who enter our doors for both celebratory and funeral receptions. Its main purpose is to involve parishioners in the preparation and staffing of these receptions and is comprised of approximately 40 volunteers who help with setup, food preparation, serving, and cleanup. Because of Covid, Heavenly Hosts suspended its reception activities but has resumed service with Rector's approval.

Kitchen Guild (Suspended TFN)
The Kitchen Guild's was mission is to facilitate cleanliness and safe food-handling by the many kitchen users. The Kitchen Guild strives to make the kitchen user-friendly while at the same time maintaining its guidelines. Our plan is to call a workday twice a year to clean and reorganize the kitchen and new members receive on-the-job-training.

Supper Club

Here is how it works –

  • If you sign up, you will be assigned to a group of 8-10 people.
  • Each group decides when and where to meet.
  • Usually each group will meet once per month for a year at someone’s home or at a restaurant. We hope to start in October!
  • Outside dining is strongly encouraged. Other Covid precautions will be discussed later.
  • It is understood that not everyone can come each time.
  • Special Groups can be set up (vegetarian/kid inclusive, etc.)
  • See if a friend wants to join! (They do not have to be members of All Saints.)

This is a very casual dinner party that does not need to be “religious” in any way. Just get to know a few friends very well! If you do not sign up today, feel free to sign up later with Nancy Lynch 512 826-6595 [email protected].

St Clare's Guild (Zoom meeting access 9:00am to noon as hybrid with in-person attendees in Masterson Library at the church. Meets in conjunction with St. Monica's Guild.)

We are a guild of needle workers who meet the third Saturday of the month. We knit, crochet, tat and sew to create prayer shawls, scarves, baptismal blankets, confirmand crosses, prayer monkeys, which are then presented at designated services for a special blessing. Folks also work on personal projects and enjoy the time chatting or seeking guidance on their art form. We welcome all who wish to participate in doing this work and will gladly help those who want to learn the fine art of needlework. Offers of yarn for blankets and fleece batting for stuffing sock monkeys are appreciated. Contact Sarah Peet at [email protected] for questions about projects.

To get on the reminder list for meetings, contact [email protected].

St. Monica's Guild (Zoom meeting 9:00am to noon as hybrid with in-person attendees in Masterson Library at the church. Meets in conjunction with St. Clare's Guild.)

This is a sewing group(hand or machine) that meets to work on personal projects or group endeavors. As quilts are completed they are blessed at the Altar during a Sunday worship service, and are then given to a charitable organization for distribution. Over the years, these have gone to Dell Children's Hospital, Breast Cancer Resource Center, Helping Hand Home, SAFE, Jeremiah Project and more. If you are interested in this ministry, contact Wini Wood at [email protected] for more information or the Zoom link.

St. Monica's recently completed quilts for two different receiving groups. Ten quilts are going to a newly opening therapeutic non-profit care home for children in the Lubbock, TX area. This new facility is designed for the needs of children from Child Protective Services aged six to eighteen.

Twenty one quilts are for the Austin Chapter of Jeremiah Project. This is a supportive housing program for single mothers and their children as they work on their personal plan to increase level of education for greater financial independence.

No experience is required, just the desire to help. You don't sew, but like geometry and color? Come help cut with a straight edge and rotary cutter. We'll find a way for you to participate. Previous projects have included no sew fleece blankets for distribution to homeless individuals, pillow case dresses for children living in orphanages in Africa. Bringing your own project to work on is welcome. Need coaching on a new or difficult project? Someone will have an idea.

We appreciate offers of cotton/high percentage cotton fabrics, thread, large remnants of flannel, fleece; maybe something else. Please email Wini [email protected] to discuss what you may have that needs a new home.


St. Lucy's Guild (Contact Patti Woolery-Price)
