COMMUNITY OUTREACH
When I was interviewed for the position of Rector I expressed surprise that the church was not open in the day. I was told it was because of the school.
At the time I said that the best and easiest way to reach out into the community was by having an open church during the day. It is also what one expects with an Anglocatholic church. We have this beautiful church, a house of prayer where people can come and encounter Jesus. And an open church does assist growth.

I said then that I would not be content until this was part of our ministry. Tonight I present to you a project to make this happen.

I want to keep the Lady Chapel open during the day. We have staff present every day, so it is possible. We would need to remove things that can be stolen. We will also need to have a table with literature in the porch. A VCR camera will deter those who do not come to pray.

SPECIAL PROJECT
I want to follow up that idea with a 2nd project.

We need a columbarium at All Saints'! In my 2 years as Rector I have conducted the funerals of 15 parishioners. But we had no-where to leave their ashes!

My proposal is that we will get rid of 2 very unattractive eye-sores south of the parish hall - The 6th Ave fence & St Martin's House. We could then erect a lovely wall along 6th Ave, with a beautiful garden behind it.

CHURCH IMPROVEMENTS
As we are a Trinitarian church, I finish with a 3rd project! This concerns the interior of our church.
