Hi, I am Joyce Longoria!!  If you visit All Saints' anyday Monday  through Friday, it's more than likely I will be the first face you see. It's jokingly said I am Pentecostal-Episcopalian, I can agree to that!  I love working where I can talk about Jesus and his love, and I know that God does love all his children.  I have 2 families and I have to tell you that All Saints' is one of them.  It's confusing sometimes working at  one church and attending another.... so...All Saints' is my church and  Cris (my husband) has his church,(little joke there) I also help 2 other churches, my family has been in ministry for many years, Cris is an Elder at HIS home church and up until about a year ago I taught Sunday School for about 15 years.

Cris and I moved to Arkansas in 1987 from Arizona, we have two sons, JD and Sam, 2 lovely daughters-in-laws, 6 beautiful grandchildren 2 dogs, and 7 cats.  As you can tell we have an empty nest at our house, so hobbies for us are being with family, going to the movies, yard sales, going to restaruants, and just running around.  I love making wreaths, flower arrangements, anything of that nature.  I like reading anything on the Holocaust, and sudoko.  My favorite hobby is Christmas trees, I have been known to have as many as 10 trees up at a time and all decorated with a different theme.

My name is Tim Smith. I am the choir director at All Saints'. Although  new to the position, my face is a familiar one around the church,having served as the organist for the last eight years. I am an associate professor of music at Arkansas Tech University where I teach piano and music theory. I hold music degrees from Indiana University and St. Olaf College, and I am currently serving as president of the Arkansas State Music Teachers’ Association.

I am an avid runner and have recently run two marathons, I am an active member in the River Valley Runners. My wife Kristin, son Noah (and dog Buster) live in the Old Town Historic Neighborhood of Russellville, and in our spare time we enjoy working on our house.

All God’s children have a place in the choir! The words of this old   Sundayschool song still ring true. The All Saints' Choir welcomes all singers to their rehearsals at 9AM Sunday mornings. You’re sure to have a good time, make new friends, and enjoy making music together. Come and check us out!!!!!

My husband Bill and I have lived in the Russellville area for 17 years, we have two adult daughters that we take pride in. I recently retired from my job as art instructor at Arkansas Tech University, to devote my time to the pursuit of the illustration of children’s books. Children’s education is my passion and Sunday School Superintendent is a natural extension for my experience.

I have been a member of All Saints since 1983 and an Episcopalian for 39 years. I am married to my husband Roy for 25 years we are the proud parents of five children and 13 grand children, of which I could go on and on about, but for the space allotted me here.

My hobbies and interest include; hiking, camping, whitewater paddling (canoe), rafting, tai chi, yoga, reading, the prayer labyrinth, meditation, my family and a dozen other neat things. My husband retired recently and we love to hook up our travel trailer and head to parts unknown.

I have two cats, Cedric the outside cat, who likes to walk the labyrinth with me, and Socks who allows us, to live in the house with him.

I am currently serving as a Worship Leader,Lay Eucharistic Minister, LEM II, Altar Ministry Coordinator and co-leader. Footstep Ministries Co-Ordinator, I teach yoga as an outreach program and am the Co- facilitator of the Labyrinth ministry of All Saints. I Co- lead the Outdoor Adventure Group... I am a member of the Centering Prayer and Natural Spirituality groups.. I think I must be a jack of all trades but Master of none...... I am most happy first and foremost when I am serving God at the Altar. Coming right after that, is my family including my spiritual familyof All Saints', getting hugs and kisses from the grandchildren or sitting in the quiet somewhere in the woods.

I would like to invite you to COME meet this extraordinary group of people known as All Saints!

My interest include fly fishing, reading, traveling, enjoying my retirement and the labyrinth.

My initial interest in labyrinths involved learning about their origin in prehistoric times and their development and distribution around the world since 2500 B.C. Next, I began to explore how they have been used in the past.

In the last few years I have constructed rope labyrinths and helped design labyrinths made of rock and tile. I helped to design and lay out my co- facilitators labyrinth at her house, constructed in brick and river rock. In Arkansas there are labyrinths located at hospitals, churches of several denominations, retreat centers, an elementary school and on the grounds of private homes.

We welcome you to walk the prayer labyrinth of all Saints, placed in Sutherland Hall as a memorial to parishioner Keith McCabe.

I was a member of the Altar Guild for three years before being appointed by Fr. Don Brown, as Altar Guild Mistress. I have served this position for the last seven years, besides being on the Altar Guild, I have been a member of the All Saints Choir, served on the Vestry and have recently joined the Altar Party as a Crucifer and reader.

I was confirmed as an Episcopalian at St. Andrews Cathedral in Jackson, Miss., in the late 1980's. Since becoming a member of All Saints I have served as; a Sunday School teacher, as a member of the most recent Search committee, I am a Worship leader, LEM I and co-leader of the Altar Ministries. I am a member of the Centering Prayer , Natural Spirituality and The Outdoor Adventure Groups.
