Interested in vegetable gardening? Adopt-A-Box in the All Saints’ Church garden! This is the perfect opportunity for families and individuals to try their hand at gardening. Gardening will take place in the raised boxes in our church backyard. No experience necessary-we will train you! The food harvested in your garden box will be given out to our local community in need. What a great way to make an impact in Dale City!
For more information contact Tammy or Susan Baggot.
Sunday, April 3 from 9:45-10:45 a.m., is the traditional Sunday School Seder Meal. Children and their parents will be treated to what has become an annual blessing at All Saints’ Church, the Seder Meal teaching!
Children (age mature 3 and up) are invited to come with their parents. Upon arriving for the Seder teaching and meal in the children’s wing, they will be directed to sit with their family. The tables will be low to the ground and children will be seated on the floor with parents. Vestry member and Sunday School teacher, Dawn Smutz, will provide the instruction that accompanies each portion of the meal. Children will be encouraged to try each food offering and participate in the reading of the scripture.
You can help support the outreach to families in the area neighborhoods with a donation of plastic easter eggs, easter candy, or a door prize for a child! The Road to Resurrection event on April 16 is a wonderful opportunity to grow the relationships with families and children in our Dale City area with the Easter Egg Hunt and Door Prize Drawing. For this event we need:
Door prize gifts for a child (ex. scooter, bicycle, any other treasured childhood toy)
You can find the Amazon wishlist for the eggs and candy here. Purchases made through this link will be shipped directly to the church. You can also drip off any eggs or candy to the church office (9a.m.-4p.m. M-Th or Sunday morning).
If you are interested in donating a door prize, please email Tara Pedersen or call 703-670-0093.
Thank you for your support of this community event! It is through the generosity of this church that we are able to have successful community outreach!

Take a look at the message below from Archbishop Foley Beach calling on us to help support the people of Ukraine through the Anglican Development and Relief Fund (ARDF). You can support the relief effort for the people of Ukraine here.
Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Lenten Greetings in the Name of Christ Jesus! As we begin our Lenten pilgrimage, let us not ignore the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding before our eyes in Europe. Our hearts are breaking at the scenes of Ukrainians under attack from Russian forces with bombs landing in neighborhoods, schools, and playgrounds. Many of us have family and friends living and working in Ukraine or serving with the local church.
As the crisis intensifies and Ukrainians fight for their lives, more and more Ukrainians are being displaced and made homeless. Others will be without basic necessities like water, shelter, and food as basic infrastructure is destroyed. The Anglican Relief and Development Fund (ARDF) has mounted a campaign to raise funds to help. We are currently partnering with those inside Ukraine and those working in bordering countries being overwhelmed with refugees.
Are you able to help? ARDF has received a $100,000 challenge gift to match dollar for dollar the first $100,000 received. This means your personal gift can be doubled. Please consider helping today by clicking here.
Beyond giving financially to these efforts, your prayers are vital. Prayer really does make a difference! Pray for the Ukrainian people and their leaders, the Russian people and their leaders, the numerous Christian leaders and missionaries in the country, and for the hundreds of thousands of refugees. Ask God to intervene.
Please join us in praying these Collects from The Book of Common Prayer 2019:
"O God, our heavenly Father, whose blessed Son has taught us to seek our daily bread from you: Behold the affliction of your people in Ukraine and send them swift aid in their time of need. Increase the fruits of the earth by your heavenly benediction; and grant that receiving your gifts with thankful hearts, they may use them to your glory, for the relief of those in need, and for their own health; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
- Adapted from Collect, In Time of Scarcity and Famine, BCP2019, p.653
"Almighty God, from whom all thoughts of truth and peace proceed: Kindle, we pray, in the hearts of all people the true love of peace, and guide with your pure and peaceable wisdom those who take counsel for the nations of the earth; that in tranquility your kingdom may go forward, till the earth is filled with the knowledge of your love; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
- Collect For The Peace of the World, BCP2019, p. 654
Yours in Christ,
The Most Rev. Dr. Foley Beach
Archbishop and Primate, Anglican Church in North America
