Ten Minute Rule
After the service ends this Sunday, please take the
next ten minutes to seek out new people that you have not yet met.
Introduce yourself, find out something about them, welcome them to All
Saints, answer any questions you can and "network" them with other people you
know. God has opened his heart in love and hospitality to us: let's pass
that same blessing on to any and every guest we can!
