Annual Information:
During the fall, All Saints’ Episcopal Church gathers for an outdoor Eucharist during its annual parish picnic, celebrating the beauty of Thomasville’s natural surroundings. This special service allows the congregation to worship together in a more informal and peaceful setting, connecting with both nature and one another.

Everyone is encouraged to bring their pets for the Blessing of the Animals and a dish to share for the picnic! The location of the picnic will vary and is announced through the church’s Communication.
