Faithful Foundations Update: Honoring Bill Trigg, Bishop's Visit, and Potluck
As we approach our campaign ingathering, we are grateful to share that 24 households have made pledges totaling $192,924.20, bringing us to 86% of our $225,000 goal. We give thanks for the generosity, prayer, and commitment that have brought us to this important milestone.
If you have not yet returned your pledge card, please do by June 28. Your response is important, and we need every household’s participation to help us reach our goal. Prayerfully consider how God is calling you to support this effort. Every gift makes a difference; a pledge of just $1 per week becomes more than $150 over three years.
This week, we learned of the death of one of the founding members of All Saints’, William “Bill” Trigg. Bill, along with other faithful visionaries, helped make All Saints’ Episcopal Church a reality in Russellville. Their faith, perseverance, and generosity created the spiritual home we enjoy today.
As we remember Bill and give thanks for his life, we are reminded that every generation is called to leave a legacy for those who follow. The buildings and grounds we steward today exist because others invested their time, talent, treasure, and faith in a vision larger than themselves.
The Faithful Foundations Campaign is an opportunity to honor that vision. By caring for this sacred space today, we ensure that the ministry of All Saints’ will continue for future generations. Just as Bill and others helped build this church for us, we now have the privilege of carrying their work forward.
This Sunday, we will celebrate our campaign ingathering as we welcome our Bishop for his visit to All Saints’. Following the 10:30 service, everyone is invited to remain for a parish potluck lunch. We encourage everyone to participate as we give thanks for God’s blessings, celebrate what has been accomplished, and commit ourselves to the future of All Saints'.
Thank you for your prayers, generosity, and faithfulness. Together we will build on the strong foundation that has been entrusted to us.

In Loving Memory of William “Bill” Walker Trigg, Sr.
We honor the memory of Bill Trigg, who passed on June 14, 2026. Bill and his wife, Nancy, were one of the four founding member families of All Saints' Episcopal Church.

Faithful Foundations Update
Greetings!
I'd like to share a brief update on our Faithful Foundations Capital Campaign. As of today, we have received 13 pledges totaling $128,100.00, which means we have already reached 57% our $225,000 goal. Thanks be to God, and thank you to everyone who has prayerfully made a commitment to this effort.
As a reminder, we have extended the campaign ingathering to Sunday, June 28, to coincide with the bishop's visit to All Saints'. This gives those who have not yet made a pledge additional time to prayerfully consider how they might participate. Pledge cards are available in the office, Shoemaker Hall on the campaign bulletin board, and in the Narthex. Completed pledge cards may be placed in the offering plate or returned to the church office.
As you consider your pledge, remember that every gift makes a difference. This campaign is not about equal gifts - it is about shared commitment. Even a pledge of just $1 per week adds up to over $150 across the three-year campaign. When all of us do what we can, those gifts continue to make a meaningful impact.
We have already crossed the halfway mark, and reaching our goal is achievable if each household prayerfully considers how they can participate. If every household participates, we can accomplish this together. The strength of this campaign will be measured not only by the dollars pledged, but by the number of people who choose to be part of it. Every pledge, regardless of size, moves us closer to preserving and strengthening our church home for future generations.
Thank you for your prayers, your generosity, and your faithfulness.

Meet and Greet for the Order of the Daughters of the King
On Sunday, June 14, 2026 from 9:00 - 10:15 am, the Saint Veronica Chapter will be available to share the history and the spiritual guidance enhanced by belonging to the order of Daughters of the King. This life-changing order began in 1885 with a women’s Bible study group in Manhattan, NY. There are only two rules for this order; Rule of Prayer and Rule of Service. Today, after 140 years of spreading God’s love and praying for guidance, the DOK realm comprises over 30,000 faithful women throughout the United States and internationally, with members spreading across 18 countries globally.
The Saint Veronica Chapter has taken on ministries that provide love and support to parishioners in retirement homes or in home care and send out greeting cards for birthdays, anniversaries and thanksgivings. We would be blessed to have you attend this meet and greet session to learn more about the order. You will have the opportunity to ask the question, “Lord, what will you have me do?”

Faithful Foundations: Campaign Extended
As we continue our Faithful Foundations Capital Campaign, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has already made a pledge. Your generosity and commitment are helping ensure that our church remains a place of welcome, ministry, and belonging for generations to come.
Our church is so much more than a building. It is a place where community gathers, where friendships are formed, and where lives are touched every day. Within these walls, neighbors are fed through Neighbors Table, encouragement and healing are shared through AA meetings and the diabetes support group, and our young people are growing in faith and fellowship through a vibrant youth ministry.
We have decided to extend the pledge campaign by one additional week so that our in-gathering celebration can coincide with the Bishop’s visit on June 28. We look forward to celebrating this special occasion together with a festive potluck following the 10:30 am service.
If you have not yet made a pledge, we prayerfully invite you to consider how you might participate. Every pledge helps strengthen the foundation of this church and supports the ministry and outreach that make our parish such a vital part of the community.
Pledge cards and updated campaign progress information may be found on the Faithful Foundations bulletin board in Sutherland Hall.
Together, through faith, generosity, and shared purpose, we are building faithful foundations for today and for the future.

Junior Chefs Cooking Camp: Cancelled
Due to low registration, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Junior Chefs Cooking Camp this summer. While we are disappointed, we are grateful for the interest and support shown by our church families and community. Registration fees will be fully refunded.
We hope to offer future opportunities for children and families to gather, learn, and grow together at All Saints’. Thank you for your understanding and support.

First Sunday Plate Offering
Our plate offering on the first Sunday of each month plays an important role in the mission of our church. All cash and coin offerings are dedicated to the Clergy Discretionary account in our budget. During this interim period, while we await the return of Mother Teri as Priest-in- Charge, the Vestry will oversee the use of these funds.
The offering we receive helps support our monthly contribution to Help Network of Russellville, a local nonprofit organization that provides emergency assistance to low-income families and individuals. Our church often receives calls and visits from people seeking help with everyday living expenses and Help Network offers a trusted way to respond to those needs in our community.
After our support of the Help Network, any remaining balance in the Clergy Discretionary account is available for other requests that our church can address directly.
As we continue in the spirit of serving others, please consider giving to the plate offering on the first Sunday of each month.
Thank you,
Mary B. Gunter
