DON’T FORGET – Next Sunday IS COLLECTION SUNDAY–The charities we currently
support are Winnie’s Place and Christian Care (women’s items); Christian
Friendliness Food Pantry; Gifts for Life (quarters for Episcopal Relief and
Development); and Youth Hope, Boys & Girls Club of Moline, and the Homeless
Shelter in Rock Island run by Christian Care (Manna Bags -we rotate among these
3 groups as needed).
BIRDIES FOR CHARITY – It’s that time again, folks! Pledge cards will be placed
in the Vestibule and/or Fellowship Hall for you to pick up if you wish to
participate. As you know, every penny that you pledge, plus a 5% bonus, comes
back to All Saints for our Building Fund. Please give the completed forms to Lin
Goldstone as soon as possible. Questions? Also see Lin.
WATERS OF BAPTISM - The placement of our baptismal font by the entrance of
our church is important. On our way in, it is a visual reminder of how we have
been born again and became inheritors of the Kingdom. On our exit, it is a
reminder of the covenant we made as part of ou r baptism - to share the gospel
and do the work God sets before us. Another form of remembering our baptism
is by having a small amount of blessed water in a dish by the entrance. A shelf
has been placed between the doors of the church just inside the nave (our
seating area). As you arrive and/or leave you may dip your fingers in the dish
and then do the sign of the cross so as to feel a reminder of our baptism.
Thanks go to the Holmgren's for the gift of the holy water dish to our
community.
NOTICE – We want to include EVERYONE’S birthday and Anniversary(s) in our
weekly and/or monthly publications, so if you are new to All Saints and have
not filled out a card with this information or notice that your information is
missing or are incorrect, please let Sue Erickson (Newsletter) and Kathy Hand
(Bulletin) know so we can include you. We are constantly working to keep our
lists correct and updated and do not want to leave anyone out.
DON’T FORGET TO CHECK OUT THE BULLETIN BOARD - There are new pictures of
your smiling faces on the bulletin board outside Rev. Roger’s office. Chec k it
out as you stroll down to Coffee Hour.
GOSPEL MUSIC CAMP - This is one of our hands on outreach ministries where
we assist with a camp that serves at risk youth with a summer musical offering
and teaches about this beautiful musical genre. The camp goes from 9 am to 3
pm Monday through Friday, July 6 th-10th. You can work part of a day, whole
days or the whole week. We will be helping with registration, serving the noon
meal, and chaperoning the kids as they move from room to room for different
sessions. Our own Dr. John Hildreth is one of the organizers of this ev ent and
can answer questions about the camp and the kids who attend.
LAST SUNDAY BRUNCH - This morning is our monthly "red shirt" day and a
chance for you (and your friends) to come out to brunch at the Windmill after
the Fellowship Hour to meet and greet our All Saints family! So come join in on
the fun, good food, great conversation and laughter. Please contact Erica
Goldstone so she can call ahead for reservations !
SCRAPBOOKING – Years ago Carol Eddy started some scrapbooks to keep an
historical record of All Saints doings. But as All Saints has grown , so has the
material which needs to be put into the scrapbooks. Consequently, she needs
help. We will have a scrapbooking party on Sun., June 7th in the front
conference room after Coffee Hour. All materials and lunch (subs) will be
supplied; we just need people. If you have ½ an hour or an hour or whatever to
help sort pictures or make pages , please stop by. Creativity is not required,
but you do need to be able to glue and paste! Scissors will only be giv en to
those who prove they can handle them. No running!
