Men's Breakfast & Bible Study

Element_5419a.jpg

Come join us on Wednesday mornings
at 7:00 am
for food,
fellowship and Bible Study

This small group is one of the longest standing small groups at All Saints. Founded by Pastor Bill Bartlett and sheparded by Bill Belton, this bunch of fellas share a great breakfast and bible study every Wednesday. By the grace of God and the great cooking skills of Steve Mostenan and his helpers Scott Hagen, Paul Rainey and Bill Glaze we have seen our group grow and develop into a caring and giving small group at All Saints.

Members of this small group come to a better understanding of God’s word through the study of the lessons that are used as a basis for the service on the up-coming Sunday morning. We discuss the scripture lessons for the upcoming Sunday and provide some perspectives in application to our daily lives.


With the excess funds received from our goodwill donations, we provide many financial support services and contributions to our members and community. We have purchased items for worship, provided scholarship funds for youth activities, recognized staff contributions, support a mission family in Guatemala and have provided special gifts for the needy. Our members are involved in all areas of church activities and leadership.

The group meets every Wednesday at 7:00am in Fellowship Hall. We meet every Wednesday except when Christmas or New Years Day falls on a Wednesday. Come join us for a mid-week recharging of your spiritual batteries. For more information contact Alan Johnson at 602-788-5084 or E-mail ajphoenix@cox.net.

Heavenly Hikers

Hike planned for June 21 - Kachina Trail - Flagstaff

If we do a car shuttle, the trail starts at the Kachina Trailhead (parking area near the Snow Bowl) at an elevation of about 9300' and ends at Schultz Tank about 8000'.  The trail does go up and down as is winds around the southers side of the San Francisco peaks through beautiful forests of pine and aspen with green meadows and wild flowers.  About 6.5 miles.   We can also just do an out and back starting at the Kachina Trailhead.

Questions?  Contact Bill Lewis

The Heavenly Hikers gather in friendship and fellowship to hike in the wild and scenic areas that God has created in Arizona. Our schedule usually includes at least nine hikes during the course of a year, offering a diversity of scenery and physical challenge. Most hikes are easy to moderate in difficulty with an average length of five to seven miles.

Winter and early spring hikes are often  
in the desert; we prefer to travel to the cool of the mountains once the weather warms up in the Valley.

Turnout ranges from 5 to 15 people - a nice size for talking with and getting to know the other participants.

Each September, we plan the calendar through the following July. We are always looking for more group participants and invite you to join us.

The Good Grief Support Group is:
  • A place where people come together to work on and understand the consequences and pain of a life change.

  • A gathering where you can safely search for your own answers, with the support of others.
  • Not a therapy group….but therapeutic!
  • Loving, caring, generous, educational, healing.
  • Very often FUN!

When attempting to describe the depth of emotion we experience when someone we love dies, we struggle to put our sorrow and pain into words and into a context we can understand.  Whether you are recently bereaved or experiencing the pain of long-standing grief, Good Grief is provided to give you the encouragement needed to help you move forward with your changed lives.

10 simple weeks! We will gather around the “kitchen table” in the LIFE Building every Tuesday 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. beginning April 1st and concluding June 3rd.
