One of the guiding principles of All Saints is service to the community. We seek to share Christ's love with those around us, just as Jesus taught. We do many things.
All Saints Bread Basket
is a Christ base service to our community. With high inflation, high unemployment, run away medical cost, in uncertain economic times as these, All Saints is blessed to be able to serve our community. In cooperation with the Atlanta Community Food Bank, the Bread Basket serves hundreds of individuals on a monthly basis.
Upon its inception in July of 2005, the Bread Baskets' goal was to serve our community by providing groceries that would help sustain a family on a temporary basis. Since then, change in our economy, the housing crisis, unemployment rates climbing, gas prices soaring, and the over-all weakness of the dollar, we have seen a "change" in our avg. participant. Now, the Bread Basket is not delegated to only lower economic citizens or homeless people more middle class families come to us. People who fall between the cracks of our system. Those having to decide between food or gas, between paying the mortgage or going to bed on an empty stomach, to pay the electric bill or buy fruit and vegetables.

We collect a Can of Change each week for a needy community organization. Then at the end of the month we give whatever amount is collected to a different organization to help them change lives.
In the past, we have given the money to:
We unite with other churches and synagogues to build Habitat for Humanity houses. Here's an image of our 7th completed house:
We provide and serve a hot lunch once a month to participants of the Ragtime Program for Seniors at the Agape Community Center. Pastor Ike and several members of the church are ready to serve lunch in the image below:
Thanksgiving Dinner with Food Bank
We also host a Christmas party and organize a gift giving program each year to help brighten the holidays for the needy in our community. In past years, we have helped residents of Jerusalem House, participants of House of Hope and victims of Hurrican Katrina.
Finally, we are active in community organizations, including the NW Perry Cluster.
You're always welcome to join us as we serve! |
