Light up your mind! AFTER DARK AT ALL SAINTS FUN CLASSES FOR THE COMMUNITY 2016 Welcome to our seventh AFTER DARK at ALL SAINTS program! What started out as simply a way to beat the winter blues and have some fun has grown into a much anticipated tradition on the Outer Banks! Still a bright spot in the middle of a dreary winter, it’s a wonderful way to explore new and old interests in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We are excited to again offer classes on a wide variety of fascinating topics, open to everyone in our community. The dates for this event have been set for February and the schedule works around our Church’s preparation for and participation in Lent. For the seventh consecutive year, we have invited church members, friends and neighbors throughout our area to share their talents and passions by offering courses and workshops to people of all ages. In this catalog you will find some remarkable opportunities taught by fascinating and richly experienced individuals. All the net proceeds from this program will be used by All Saints Church to give back to our community through our outreach programs. Through the participation of students and teachers over the six previous programs, we have had 3,533 class registrations and have given back $60,990 to agencies and organizations serving our community! The program this year will again support local organizations helping many of our friends and neighbors in need on the Outer Banks. Last year, After Dark generated $14,440, which was given to support five agencies: Interfaith Community Outreach, Food For Thought, Community Care Clinic, Beach Food Pantry, and Room in the Inn. We hope through this year’s program to be able to give back even more. This catalog is also posted on our Church’s website, www.allsaints-eastcarolina.org, and at www.afterdarkallsaints.com. Join us for as many classes as you like. You will light up your mind … and your smile! Tom + Rev.
