Lunch on the Lawn + Help Needed | All Saints Episcopal Church

Dear Saints,

My heart is so full from the celebratory Grand Opening and ribbon cutting that we had on Wednesday. The turnout was excellent, it was an honor to have the bishop with us, and the rain stopped in time for us to hold the event outside in front of the Pantry!

The diocese did a nice write up with pictures in their newsletter that you can find by clicking the link below. And a huge thank you to everyone who helped.

This Sunday we have our annual lunch of the lawn where we'll grill up dogs (vegan as well) and enjoy other refreshments. There's talk of water balloons from the Verger... And we could use a few helpers to set up chairs and tables out front before the service. If you can help please, email me ([email protected]) or text.

Next Sunday we are going to have apple themed treats to celebrate fall. And the following week we will be joined by Canon Christopher Craun who will be sharing the sermon at both services. Chris is an amazing priest and person and one of my favorite karaoke singers. I can't wait for you to meet her and for our time together.

In peace,

Andria+
