 All Saints' Episcopal Church

All are Welcome!

All Saints' Episcopal Church is in union with The Episcopal Church and is in the Diocese of North Carolina,                    part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. 

We are a welcoming congregation serving the Roanoke Rapids area. We attempt to proclaim the Gospel in thought, word and deed with special attention to local outreach needs.

Our purpose is to be a place where all can seek God and follow the divine commission of Christ, through prayer, dicipleship and faithful obedience in the Episcopal Church. All Saints' is a place that celebrates Jesus Christ through sacrament, word and action with the people of our own community and around the world.

All Saints' members reach out to help their community!

"Share with the Lord’s people who are in need."   Romans 12:13

One Friday and Saturday every year our members volunteer their time to assist with the " Bag Sale" at Angel's Closet here in town.

Angel's Closet is an ecumenical ministry founded in December 2005 by retired high school teachers and the husband & wife team, Mr. & Mrs. Gilbert Portela.  The ministry focuses on the needs of children in the school system.  Funding raised through the thrift store has filled numerous needs such as:

* Giving school supplies to hundreds of children at the beginning of their school year

* $1000 college scholarships awarded to 10 graduating seniors with a desire to further     their education

* 800 classroom field trips to ensure that children would not be denied this learning          experience with their classmates

* Providing Cap & Gown rentals for graduating seniors who cannot afford one

* Providing Boys & Girls Club annual membership scholarships

* Assisting over 1700 families with household goods, clothing, etc.

This year our volunteers worked in October sorting, hanging and assisting for the October bag sale. It is because of volunteers like these donatating their time , Angel's Closet it able to help the folks within our own community. A great big thank you to everyone that helped!

 "And I have been a constant example of how you can help those in need by working hard. You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.‘”   Acts 20:35
