Confirmation Classes:
Begin in August for Bishop's Visitation on
November 9, 2008. Speak to the Rector if you're interested in being
a part of this preparation.
Pancake
Breakfast:
The Youth Group will have a Pancake Breakfast on
Sunday, August
24th to coordinate with the beginning of the Good Shepherd
Sunday School.
Pancakes will be served between services,
from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.
Guest Speaker:
The Rev. Allen James, on Sunday,
September 14th will preach and celebrate
at both services of Holy Eucharist. Alan has asked that there be a time
for discussion with him between services, from 9:30 till 10:15 a.m. This
is an opportunity for members of the parish to make connections with one
of the Bishop’s assistants and to ask questions about what’s going on across
the Diocese of Ohio.
Alan will also be able to answer some of your questions
about the transition process as All Saints prepares to call a new rector.
So plan to attend the 9:30 a.m. discussion as well as your usual Eucharist
on Sunday, Sept 14th.
United Thank Offering:
The United Thank Offering is a way of giving daily
thanks to God.
The discipline starts in the home by saying a prayer of thanksgiving
as you drop coins into a special container, known as the Blue Box. This
is one way an individual can express thanks to God for all of the blessings
in his/her life. “We all have many things to be thankful for,” says Susan
Baird, diocesan UTO chair. “This tangible expression of our thanks helps
people in need across the world, as the monetary gifts are used for grants
for ministry.
Be aware that every coin that is given is used to support
mission and ministry.” UTO is an offering of the whole church, for the mission
of the whole church.
Offering envelopes will be available on Sunday September 21st &
28th.
