Dear Saints,

Happy Labor Day weekend! When I think about the labor that goes on every week at All Saints' I feel such an abundance of gratitude for our staff. This weekend I would like to raise up and give thanks for our sextons, the custodial staff at All Saints' who work so hard behind the scenes to make the whole place hum along. With them, I give thanks for all workers across our nation and invite us all as the Prayer Book's Night Prayer service says so beautifully, to 'never forget that our common life depends upon each other's toil'. May your labor be as a blessing to all those whom it touches.

 

Sundays, 10:20-11:05 a.m., P305/306, Parish House
Facilitated by: Ethel Ware Carter
Join this weekly discussion of the news of the day, as we reflect on how we are called as Christians to respond in the public arena, in our private lives, and in our prayers.  For more information, contact Ethel Ware Carter at ethelware@aol.com.

Donate Household Items to 

a Newly Arrived Refugee Family
Sundays, September 1, 8 and 15, Sign Up Online and Bring Donations to Ellis Hall Foyer
Unfortunately, we must postpone our new refugee family's move-in day (originally scheduled for September 14) due to the federal government's potential zero refugee admissions policy that could be instituted as early as October. Regardless, we are still collecting household items for our new family. Click here to sign-up to donate items, such as light-bulbs, kitchen towels, a toolbox, or a rice cooker. Please bring your donations to the collection bins in Ellis Hall Foyer on Sundays, September 1, 8, or 15. If we are unable to furnish this apartment for our new family, we will donate the items to other families, like the family we're co-sponsoring with another agency. We are creating a Diocesan-wide Refugee Advocacy Consortium on the issue of the potential zero refugee admissions policy and will provide an update as soon as our first advocacy event is scheduled.
