 Welcome to All Saints in Big Sky
A Shared Ministry of the
Episcopal and Lutheran (ELCA) Churches 
If you are a vacationer, a part-time resident, a seasonal worker, or a full-time community member, you are welcome to be a part of All Saints. Here you will discover Episcopalians, Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians, and others worshiping side by side and forming a unique faith community. Half of our worship services use liturgies from The Book of Common Prayer and half from various Lutheran worship resources, especially Evangelical Lutheran Worship. We want to celebrate the best of both traditions, knowing that we are stronger together than apart.
We are excited about doing ministry together. We invite you to join this wonderful journey, whether you are on vacation, or are a part-time or full-time resident. Join us when you can, keep this faith community in your prayers, support us as you are able, and invite others to join this unique venture in faith called All Saints in Big Sky.

- February 22, 2012 - Ash Wednesday Service - 7:00 pm in Big Sky Chapel - Lent begins on February 22 with a call to fasting and repentance as we begin our journey to the baptismal waters of Easter. During Lent, the people of God reflect on the meaning of their baptism into Christ's death and resurrection. The sign of ashes suggest our human mortality and frailty. What seems like an ending is really an invitation to make each day a new beginning, in which we are washed in God's mercy and forgiveness.
- February 26, 2012 - The Reverend Steve Delzer will be All Saints guest preacher
All Saints' Five Wishes ® Lenten Offering
Ash Wednesday we begin the season of Lent by recalling our mortality: that God created us out of the dust of the earth and to dust we shall return. Despite knowing that we 'should' prepare for the inevitable, however, many of us put it off because our mortality makes us uncomfortable. As a gift to yourself and to those in your circle of love, consider coming to All Saints' Five Wishes ® Lenten offering.
The Five Wishes ® cover My Wish For:
- The Person I Want to Make Care Decisions for Me When I Can't
- The Kind of Medical Treatment I Want or Don't Want
- How Comfortable I Want to Be
- How I Want People to Treat Me
- What I Want my Loved Ones to Know
Wednesday, March 7, 2012 and Sunday, March 11, 2012
The Reverend Valerie Webster, a staff chaplain at Bozeman Deaconess Hospital, will not only walk you through this living will, a no cost legal document with a heart and soul, she will do so with compassion and in plain language.
God is where God is supposed to be in our choices, struggles, and joy!
