All Saints' Episcopal Church - Attleboro, Massachusetts

Now comes the challenging work of rebuilding the congregation. Stewardship, evangelism, Christian formation and other programs for the parish must be organized. Lent is here and Easter is fast approaching as clergy and lay leaders live into the rhythms of the church calendar. The new vestry is overseeing the day-to-day operations and new delegates will be chosen to attend the diocesan special convention in March. There is an air of quiet determination as parishioners discern what this ministry is all about and what God is calling them to be. They are certain of one thing -- the future of All Saints' Episcopal Church is not as much about restoring the past as it is about shaping a new vision for the future.
