Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Many years of strategic thinking, space use planning, implementation of ideas and feasibility studies have brought us to the point of launching our initiative called For All The Saints. In this campaign we are addressing what we believe to be essential, responsible and compelling in and for our life together at this time. It is the distillation of hundreds of ideas, conversations, focus groups, architectural imaginings and much more. I am grateful to all who have participated in the work to this point. For All The Saints honors saints past and includes saints present and saints yet to come. I believe that strategic attention to ensuring a vibrant community living in God s grace in the future will be a powerful witness to our trust in that grace today. I believe that it then makes sense to attend to the places in which we gather for witness and celebration, for community-building and service, and above all for worship of the one who in every way sustains our life; the Love that made us for Love. I hope you will share my enthusiasm for this work and join with those leaders of our parish who have already made generous commitments in support of it, in every case putting faith before fear and expressing their belief in this parish as part of the leaven that makes bread for the world and as a chalice from which God s grace is dispensed. With grateful thanks for all that you mean to our common life, Geoffrey M. St. J. Hoare Rector

Dear Friends, It is a privilege to serve as chair of For All The Saints: A Campaign for All Saints Episcopal Church. I look forward to the conversation and reflection these ideas encourage among us. This spring marks the 110th anniversary of the founding of All Saints Church. As a parish we have defined ourselves as a worshipping community formed for Christian faith through engaging God and our neighbor. The campaign will help to ensure that our community of faith will remain vibrant as we embrace the future. It represents significant discernment by many parishioners over the last several years. I ask that you review this booklet to learn more about the goals of the campaign. And, I invite you to join me in making your own pledge to support the work of our parish. Stockton Croft Campaign Chairman For All The Saints

What you have in your hands is a booklet outlining our plans, purposes and potential as a community of faith and a request that you help commit the funds necessary to make the vision a reality. This work flows from many conversations over multiple years and has been shaped to address only what is essential for the continuing proclamation of our faith from our unique place in the center of a great city. It is the hope of the vestry and steering committee that you will accept this as an invitation to real conversation and connection in this wonderful parish we call All Saints. A Proud History We have a history as a community of faith willing to grow in our trust in God s love through engaging the realities of our neighbors. Since becoming chartered in 1903, when the corner of North Avenue and West Peachtree was classified as suburban, All Saints has engaged its congregation in vital and challenging ministry. We have welcomed soldiers home from wars, developed innovative ways to teach Christian education and elected the first woman in the diocese to serve on a vestry. All Saints leadership was at the forefront of the Civil Rights Era. This congregation stepped forward when called by our diocese to take on homelessness and the AIDS crisis of the 1980s. In recent years we have sought the full humanity of lesbian and gay people and solidified our service in both local and global communities. A Vibrant Present All Saints reaches out into the community with Habitat for Humanity home-building, tutoring and programs for neighborhood schools and refugee families alike. We help thousands of families clothe their children with dignity through our unique ministry of Threads. We witness lives transformed through the Covenant Community and Men of Hope as formerly homeless addicts find hope and strength and newness of life on our campus. In addition to Threads and Covenant Community, All Saints supports the Midtown Assistance Center, which focuses on preventing homelessness, administers a renowned Refugee Ministries program and supports many other service agencies through a dedicated Community Grants process. We perform the great music of Mozart and Beethoven on one of the South s most magnificent organs, and introduce Atlanta to world-class theologians, including Walter Bruggemann, N. T. Wright and Barbara Brown Taylor. The church has vibrant Children and Youth programs that work to form, sustain and strengthen our Christian life together. Parish retreats at Kanuga Conference Center continue to be a source of learning and connecting and a whole lot of fun. The list of ways to get involved in All Saints worship, program and parish life numbers well over 100. Our parish is vital, healthy and financially sound. It is a great time to be at All Saints. In worship, the whole of our lives is turned to what really matters. The Rev d Geoffrey M. St. J. Hoare

A Campaign to Fulfill the Promise of the Future In order for there to be a continuing and sustainable community at All Saints, we must do today what it takes to ensure that there is a community of ministers here in the future. First we are seeking funding to engage the work of developing community with and for our youth and young adults as they cultivate formative habits and friendships. Once we have attended to ensuring a vital community of faith a generation or more from now, then we must turn to the sacred spaces in which we gather as a community: our Parish House, including Ellis Hall, the Courtyard, with attention to a proper and inviting entrance and walkway, and the restoration of our magnificent windows and humble pews in the space where we gather to be reminded of what is of ultimate worth. This booklet reflects the prayer and conversation, the work and imagination of many people, including you, distilled to what is essential for the continuing proclamation of the Good news of God in Christ on and from our unique place in the center of a great city. Engage in conversation and reflection about these plans. The vestry and the steering committee invite you to join in the work of attending to this community and know that you will find yourself blessed as you do. Estimated Costs of For All The Saints: State of the Art Space for Youth Ministries:...$1,500,000 Young and Emerging Adults:...$1,000,000 Renovation of the Parish House:...$1,250,000 Sacred Space in the City:...$1,250,000 Restoration of Stained Glass Windows and Pews:...$1,500,000 Contingency, professional fees and future maintenance:...$1,000,000 Total:...$7,500,000 State of the Art Space for Youth Ministries The crux of the All Saints Youth Program is to engage young people (grades 6-12) in all aspects of worship and program. We are proud that over 85% of our youth are actively involved in the life of All Saints through choir, bells, scouting, pilgrimage, mission work, Sunday formation classes, Jr. Earth Stewards and Sunday Night Live (SNL). The core of what we offer on Sundays includes 6th grade catechesis, Rite 13, the J2A program, a two-week long pilgrimage and confirmation for those who desire it. The program culminates with two years of service in the Young Adults in the Church program. Unfortunately, however, space currently used by youth is shabby and uninviting. Located on the third floor of the parish hall, it is shared space that is not always available for youth. We do not have the capability to use technology common to modern educational spaces. We cannot break out into small groups for discussion and liturgy because there is no room. We lack the space to house either our own or visiting youth groups who would come together on our grounds to experience urban life and worship. In spite of this, we have new members coming because of the growing positive reputation of these ministries. We will finish out the third floor of the Pritchett Center and provide state-of-the-art space for youth to learn, interact and hang out. We will develop dedicated gathering spaces, junior and senior high community spaces, a working stage and an operational kitchen. Technology in the youth space will support innovative teaching and learning. We will continue to grow the program to serve more of our youth.

Young and Emerging Adults Renovation of the Parish House 2012 2013 ASAP Interns Not long ago, the time between college and settling down as a young adult was a few years at most. Today, researchers and analysts of social trends tell us that this period can last for fifteen years or more. The young adults are identified as emerging adults. For many, these are years when lasting friendships and habits are formed. Unfortunately, these friendships and habits are rarely being formed in the church. Our General Convention affirmed the importance of ministry to this new demographic population through the funding and creation of explicit and meaningful roles for young adults in the Councils of the Church. Those emerging adults who do worship and seek community at All Saints sometimes have a hard time finding their place among us. With attendance maybe one week in six for some, it is easy to show up and not be known or recognized by peers. We must pay serious and sustained attention to these young people. Otherwise, we will significantly weaken our ability to have vibrant ministry twenty or thirty years from now. Who will form the chapters of friends who have known each other for their whole adult lives? Who will be that backbone of men s ministries? Who will be the lay leaders of our parish? The answer will be found among our current college and post-college adults. Our goal is to develop one or more communities of young adults. In addition to providing explicit clergy support and offering classes and gatherings geared to the needs of this age group, all already underway, our current strategy is to fund an internship program in vocational discernment. This will be both a gift and a ministry to the wider church and will also provide a regular, consistent and visible core of people here every Sunday and during the week. Young people will be able to gather and find a place of friendship and support while undergoing their own process of vocational discernment. N AMING O PPORTUNITIES Funding of One Internship: $250,000 All Saints has educational and community programs on our campus every night of the week. Adult formation offerings on Sundays and Wednesdays present a range of choices from Christ and the Economy to restaurateur Linton Hopkins speaking about the spirituality of the local food movement to Bob Edge s renowned series on great music. Our Youth Program occupies seven classrooms in addition to the upstairs lounge. Wednesday Night Suppers in Ellis Hall see an average of 130 men, women and children each week. By necessity we must limit the number of classes we can offer because we do not have adequate, available and handicap accessible space. Last renovated in 1985, Ellis Hall is our only large open gathering space. In its current condition, the hall is only rented out a few times each year. The acoustics in Ellis are so poor that some experienced presenters are reluctant to teach there. Technology is a continuing challenge. We can t be confident that our antiquated audio systems will work; often a microphone must be held to tiny speakers to amplify presentations. The Parish House will be restored to a fully functioning and attractive space that is accessible and safe. We will create dedicated Adult Formation spaces, accessible to all, which can accommodate more and larger classes in the new Adult Education Center. We will embrace 21st century technology. While continuing to serve as our community s center for both social gatherings and alternative worship space, Ellis Hall, along with its foyer and kitchen, will be vastly improved to support our needs. We will increase the potential income-producing space for the parish. N AMING O PPORTUNITIES Entrance Foyer: $500,000 Adult Education Hall: $250,000 A Classroom: $100,000 A new look for Ellis Hall

Sacred Space in the City Restoration of the Stained Glass Windows and Pews On any given day, it is common to find people from all parts of the world passing through the green canopy of our courtyard on their way to Georgia Tech, AT&T headquarters, the MARTA station or just touring the midtown area. Wedding photography, burial services, concert series receptions, children climbing the magnolia tree, Boy Scout cooking exercises, Wednesday Night Suppers, Covenant Community basketball games and prayerful contemplative moments all happen here. On Sundays during most of the year, the courtyard is our major gathering space. It is a key element of our vitality. Unfortunately, the ramps for handicap accessibility are dangerously steep. The space is not always big enough to accommodate our Sunday coffee gatherings or for everyone to sit and enjoy a central program during parishwide events. The current placement of steps, trees and walls impedes the view and movement towards the sanctuary, which is the true heart of our campus. Antiquated pipes connecting the heating system of the sanctuary to the Parish Hall run underneath the patio and require that we explore what is underground. Given that we must disrupt the courtyard, we have the opportunity to implement an open and landscaped courtyard that can seat between 50 and 100 people. We will address physical challenges for parishioners with creaky joints and limited mobility. We will implement a workable water irrigation system that is more environmentally sound. We will improve the passageway from parking to the courtyard that provides a lane for service vehicles and a tree-lined path for those on foot. A dramatic angular glass canopy entrance to the Parish Hall will successfully transition indoor space to green space. The walkway awning between the Sanctuary and Egleston Hall will have new clear acrylic covering. Parishioners, midtown neighbors and visitors alike admire and treasure our brown sandstone church built in 1906. As early as 1911, the church began to add its prized collection of stained glass windows around the sanctuary. The most valuable of these are the six windows known to be created by Tiffany Studios. Louis Comfort Tiffany himself signed the Epiphany window, and Hallmark once featured it on a Christmas card. The windows depict incidents in the life of Christ and represent what our founders and current parishioners believe to be worthy of our attention and care. However, over the years, the wood that frames each window has deteriorated, and the lead between the glass panes needs replacing. Several windows exhibit holes and cracks. It is time to do the restoration work necessary to preserve these treasured works of art. The polished oak pews and kneelers have supported our congregation in worship space since 1906 when the pews were built and rented out for $50 200 per year. On an average Sunday, we seat 800 and on holidays that number can swell to over 2,600. Our pews are essential to our worship. Yet extra bolts and wood strips hold some of the pews and kneelers together. They have been patched beyond what many of them can bear. Our stained glass windows will be repaired, restored and preserved to last for future generations. Our pews will be stable and our kneelers intact. N AMING O PPORTUNITY Restoration of One Nave Window: $150,000 A conceptual rendering of the new courtyard
