Pray4Me Brunch
The basic idea of the Pray for Me Campaign is simple. Three adults from three different generations will be assigned as prayer champions for each teenager in the church (These specific numbers don’t always work out because of our size, but this is the goal). For the next year those adults will pray for their student using a prayer guide with 13 weeks worth of daily prayers focused on seven essential spiritual qualities appropriate for teenagers, as well as by regularly asking the student for any specific prayer requests. Additionally, these match ups are an opportunity for the prayer champions and teenagers to build a relationship. Intergenerational relationships are an invaluable way that we disciple our young people and help them to grow in their faith and the P4M Campaign is a structured way to facilitate those meetings.
Safety Training
We are having a safety training on September 15th after church from 12:45PM - 2PM. This training is for people ages 16 and older who serve on the vestry, in children’s & youth ministry and any volunteer teams that regularly serve with minors volunteers. This training is required by the diocese every 2 years, so if you have never been trained or you have not been re-trained since the fall of 2021, please sign up on the attached Google sheet. If you’re not sure if you should be there, please contact your ministry leader or Carley McGrady (carley@allsaints-chd.org)

Good Friday
On Good Friday, we remember Jesus' ultimate sacrifice--his brutal crucifixion and death on the cross. This brief service will be held at noon. All are welcome to attend.
Nursery will be available.
Maundy Thursday
On Maundy Thursday, we remember and re-enact the story of the Last Supper, when Jesus gathered his disciples around the table, serving them bread and wine, and tenderly washing their feet. Jesus humbly served his followers before his impending cruxifixction, and commanded them to do the same: "Love one another, as I have loved you."
At 5pm, our service is geared towards children and their families, with an instructive foot washing experience, and light snacks afterwards.
At 7pm, we will have foot washing, celebrate the Eucharist, and then strip the altar, marking the beginning of Jesus' betrayal, crucifixion, and death.
No nursery.
Tenebrae
In Latin, Tenebrae means "shadows" or "darkness", and a Tenebrae service is a darkening service, per se. As we mediate on the Passion of Christ, counting down and preparing for what is to come this holiest of weeks, we pray, read scripture and extinguish candles. Join us at 7:30pm (right before the sun sets) for this beautiful, reflective service.
Palm Sunday
On Palm Sunday, we remember Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem--the beginning of Holy Week. Weather permitting, for both our 8:30 Am and 11 Am we will gather outside on the Veranda to begin our services with the Liturgy of the Palms, and process inside the Sanctuary together. Plan to arrive a few minutes early. Palm branches will be passed out when you arrive, and can be waved throughout the service. We encourage you to take them home, perhaps make a cross with them like THIS, and then bring them back before Lent next year, and we'll burn them to use during our Ash Wednesday service.
Nursery available at both services.
Women's Lenten Retreat
Women of All Saints, join us as we gather for a Pre-Lenten retreat on February 17th from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. For the address and to sign up click here.
Ash Wednesday
We will be holding three services on Ash Wednesday 2/14 as we begin our Holy Lent together. At 12PM there will be a spoken service. At 5 PM there will be a service directed toward children and families. At 7pm there will be a traditional Ash Wednesday service. Ashes will be imposed at each service.
Annual Meeting
All are invited to attend our annual meeting. Members will vote to affirm our new vestry members, and our Synod Delegates. It is especially important that members plan on joining us after the 11 AM Service on 1/28. Annual reports will be distributed before the meeting.
Newcomer's brunch
Are you fairly new to All Saints? Please plan on joining us for our next Newcomer's Brunch on Sunday, January 28, during the Interlude -- the time and space between our two services. We'd love to see/meet you, answer any questions you may have, get to know you and your story, and help you plug into All Saints.
Men's Breakfast
Mark your calendars! The next men's breakfast is Saturday, 1/27 at 9 am, in the Five Oaks clubhouse. Dr. Ron Rittgers will speak on the topic of "‘Train up a child in the way he should go’: Reflections on Fatherhood and Domestic Devotion." Childcare for kids 18 months and older is available if their dad RSVPs by Thursday, 1/25.
Also, we're forming new co-mentoring groups for February through June and optionally through August. Each group will be made up of roughly 4 guys in varying stages of life and will meet monthly. The purpose of these groups is to foster authentic, intergenerational relationships between the men in our church and to encourage one another in our life of faith. Sign up for both below!
