A Thank You from Deacon Diana

 

Dear All Saints Friends and Fr. Rick,

    I so appreciate your generous contribution to the Homework Club!  We think it will be used to purchase multiple copies of books for various age groups for summer reading sessions as we meet on Tuesday evenings in July and August. Right now we’re trying to determine the ideal titles of books that won’t be too difficult yet will be touching or humorous to engage the children.  We’re accepting recommendations.

    Thank you so very much for your gracious “So long for now!” celebration for me.  I plan to hang the children’s banner in a special place to be seen by others and remind me of your love.  As I looked about the church yesterday, I held each of you with deep affection recalling special moments.  It was so kind of you to come forth and wish me well as I step forth...truly in faith.

    You have many exciting activities and ministries planned under creative, capable leadership.  Be confident that God is with you….”Emmanuel”….and continue to be that special welcoming church that you are.

 

With love through Christ Jesus,

Deacon Diana

Help us complete the All Saints Kitchen!!!!

A kitchen committee has raised $ 37,100 in just over 30-days by generous contributors from our church!!!  Thank you.

• Our goal is $ 45,000, and we need only $ 7900 to go!
• Our deadline is June 1, 2013. Installation would take place over the summer, with events using the kitchen starting in the Fall.
• To complete the kitchen we need a commercial range, convection oven, and hood.
• Why???  Our completed kitchen will allow us to prepare meals at All Saints, we will be able to offer Youth Group event dinners, provide cooking for "In-the-Garden" and St. John's meal programs, and more.
• If possible, would you please make a donation?  Check payable to All Saints Episcopal Church.  Memo line: complete Kitchen project.  Place it in an envelope to Craig Corson (our Treasurer) in Sunday’s offering plate.
• Any questions, contact Deb Susi (614-327-0721), Tony Thomas, Jim Harris, Kay Knoll, Brian Hutter or Ed Susi.

 High School Graduation Celebration We will be honoring our high school graduates: Liana Clareson, Ellen Martin, and Abby Robbertz, on Sunday, the 19th, at the 10 o’clock service.  

 

Summer Picnic Our end-of-the-school-year-beginning-of-summer picnic will be June 9th following the 10 a.m. service. A sign-up sheet is on the Greeter’s Table. K.C. Klusty is rallying a team of volunteers to help make this a success. Please sign-up or contact her.

 

Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws Your Vestry has been hard at work completing a revision of our Articles and Bylaws. Copies along with a summary of changes will be available this coming week in print and on the web site. Please review them and direct any questions to Rich Robbertz or Matt Fornshell. We will hold a brief congregational meeting right before the picnic on the 9th to vote to approve these new documents.
