Outreach during Lent Last year, Archbishop Duncan announced that the last Sunday after Epiphany would be World Mission Sunday. This is to be an annual event and each parish in ACNA, has been asked to highlight this through prayers, testimonies, stewardship and education. This year, All Saints’ is going to take this one step further and focus our Lenten Outreach on World Mission through the Anglican Development Fund or ARDF. The majority of our Outreach projects help our local communities, but through ARDF, we are able to help others beyond our border as Jesus has commanded us to do in Acts1:8, “And you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the Earth.”
During Lent, we will be collecting money for ARDF. Special boxes are available for coin collection at home and a large purple box in the Narthex for church collection. A few coins collected by many can have a huge impact on the lives of those ARDF helps. ARDF is committed to proclaiming the Gospel in the areas they help and living the words found in Matthew 25:40, “I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me”
If you would prefer to write a check, please make the check payable to ‘All Saints’ and write ‘ARDF‘ in the memo line. Thank you for your support!
