The people of All Saints reach out in many ways to serve the Great
Neck community. The outreach ministries are run by parishioners,
outside volunteers, and in the case of the pre-school, by the paid
staff.

Blessing of the Animals takes place the
Sunday after Easter and is attended by people from all over Long
Island with their pets. It is a celebration of God’s
love for all creatures great and small.
All Saints Sunday: Each year, during the first week of
November, we sponsor a Sunday of remembrance, thanksgiving and healing.
At All Saints, we mark this as a day of celebration - not mourning - as
we give thanks to God for those with whom we have had the opportunity
to share life and love and are now at rest. We will be offering special
prayers to God for the life and to the memory of all our loved ones
departed and most especially for those who have been interred here at
All Saints Cemetery. A catered reception will be offered following the
service.
Great Neck Pre-School is a nonsectarian school for children
aged 2-4 years old. The school provides a safe, loving environment for
children to grow and develop in their own way. It is a place where
children have fun and grow intellectually as well as socially. The
school offers a wide selection of fun and rewarding hands-on learning
activities. The classes are small with low child to teacher ratios. We
have a dedicated, experienced staff. The classrooms are bright and
spacious. The school runs year-round with an optional summer program.
It is open from 8am to 3pm, Monday through Friday. Great
Neck Pre-School
is fully accredited by the NYS Office of Children and Family Services.
Youth Group: The GEM Youth Group is comprised of young people
who share time in participating in meetings, worship, social and
recreational activities. The Youth Group meets every other week at
12noon in the Ministry Center.
Our youth group provides teenagers with a comfortable and relaxed
atmosphere in which they can grow in Christ while sharing new
experiences and having fun. These young people also participate in
outreach programs and off site trips which afford them the opportunity
to make new discoveries while living out their baptismal covenant. Our
youth group programs are open to all young people in the community.
Christmas Bazaar and Visit by St. Nicholas is held in early
December. This indoor event features vendor booths, dedicated to the
selling of boutique Christmas items, jewelry, baked goods. There are
activities for children and youth in addition to a visit from St. Nick.
