Bring your backpacks to worship on the weekend of August 24/25 for a special blessing. Your time matters! Committees Need You Do you have a few hours a month to make All Saints a stronger place? We could use your help. You could help by joining a committee. It s not as boring as it sounds. Each committee operates a little differently, but mostly you meet once per month and share your ideas and perhaps take on a small task or two. That s it. But it makes a world of difference. If you d like to help, we could use you with our Worship, Property (building maintenance), Outreach (making All Saints known in the community), Stewardship (helping us use all of our time and talents and treasure wisely), Technology (computers and IT), Financial Support (money, money, money), Learning, Social Ministry and other Committees. Talk with either of the pastors and we ll get you hooked up.

Over the past few years, we have fed over 200 people each Thanksgiving. Whether homeless or alone for the holiday, we want everyone to feel welcome at All Saints. Plans again include serving turkey and all the sides from 11-2 in the Gathering Space. We'll need all hands on deck, so make plans for your family's Thanksgiving tradition to include helping to serve others. We'll need folks to invite the community, set up and decorate the space, clean up the space, cook the food, serve the food, procure donations from area businesses, and provide entertainment and hospitality. If you are interested in helping (especially to coordinate) any of these areas or have other great ideas, please contact Pastor Seth. Come together to brainstorm, share ideas, and develop the plans on Wednesday, July 16 at 7 pm. Please let Pastor Seth know if you plan to come to this meeting.
