During this month of remembrance and gratitude, I am thankful for our wonderful All Saints volunteers who make our outreach ministries possible! Many of these folks work behind the scenes - packing food boxes, checking inventory, crocheting prayer shawls, delivering food bags to schools, shopping at WinCo, weeding the garden, and answering the telephone. So grateful for the time, effort, and heart they put into their work. As St. Juan Diego did (see below), they lead by example.
