Altar Guild
The Altar Guild has a very special
function in the Church.
The guild is responsible for preparing the altar and church for regular services, holy days,
and great festivals such as Christmas and Easter.
The guild also cares for the linens, communion vessels, liturgical
hangings, and candles used in these various services; including weddings, funerals and baptisms.
The Altar Guild works
in teams. Each team serves one week a month, and is responsible for all services during that week.

Crown Ministry
Cursillo
"Make a friend, be a friend, and bring a friend to Christ"
is the motto of Cursillo.
Those who have attended a Cursillo weekend make a commitment to Christ and each other to live
in such a way that each person
they come in contact with will see Christ in them and wish to have Christ working in their
life as well.
All Saints has a very long history of Cursillo, as it was one of the first parishes in this diocese to
embrace the movement.
Maybe this is part of the reason that All Saints has a reputation of being "such a warm and
friendly church."
Daughters Of
The King
Daughters of the King is an order of women in the Episcopal
Church who take a vow of prayer and service for life.
They provide prayer support for the rector and the parish. They
meet on the first and third Sunday of each month for prayer and study.
Junior Daughters of the King is the young
girls' counterpart of Daughters of the King. It is for girls age 8 to 18.

Sermon Tapes and Website
The church's web site is a volunteer effort to reach potential members via the Internet's World
Wide Web.
The web site provides information about All Saints to residents of Central Florida who may be searching for
a church home.
The desire is to explain the happenings at the church in the hope that visitors may want to make it their
church home permanently.
Eventually the ministry will be expanded to include broadcasts for the church's tape ministry
to provide access to Sunday services
for those who are shut-in, via audio devices and Web broadcasts.
