for a regular EYC meeting. During these meetings we will work, pray, eat, and play. We will also discuss ways in which youth can help promote All Saints' through social media. The first meeting will be

Aside from monthly EYC meetings, there will also be events away from church. The first of such events will be an overnight lock-in at Joe Delacruz's lake house!

Social Media Sunday #SMS16
|
|
|
September 25 at all services
Usually phones are a 'no-no' in church, but on September 25 you're encouraged to use your social media presence to be an online disciple - highlight your attendance and let everyone know what is going on at All Saints' Episcopal. Snap a selfie, "check-in" on Facebook, tweet your favorite part of the sermon. Be sure to use the #SMS16 on your posts!

Needed - Drivers for Jail Ministry
|
|
|
All Saints' jail ministry tries to provide rides for men and women being released from the county jail who have no one to pick them up. We give them a ride home, or to the probation office, shelter, or rehab. Men transport men and women transport women. You can bring someone along with you if you want. When a call comes in, we call/text volunteers to see who is available. We are in need of more volunteers to be on the call list. Please contact
Father Roger
or
Sandi Lynn
if you are interested. Thank you Saints'!

New "Live Your Faith" Series - Saving Jesus Redux
|
|
|
Sessions 1-3: September 18, 25, and October 2
Led by Jackie Bromley
Do you remember the first time you encountered Jesus? Was he the fair-skinned white guy with blue eyes and shoulder length hair? That was my first impression. My first encounter was in a Wesleyan Methodist Church. My parents didn't attend church, so a kind neighbor took me to her church. There I learned that if I asked Jesus (whose portrait hung all over the building) into my heart I would live forever. (I had to ask what eternal meant, and my Mom said "forever".) I did what I was told and promptly instructed my parents that they'd better do the same! Thus ended my early church adventures. It was the beginning, however, of a life-long love affair with Jesus and the church.
This year, the Live Your Faith class will study a DVD series called
Saving Jesus Redux
. The series is a collection of short presentations by the top theologians of the progressive era, also known as the Jesus Scholars. These scholars represent multiple theological backgrounds within and outside the Christian faith. Rather than accepting the bible as a literal text, they apply science, archeology, sociology and other disciplines to their work. Each class will include a DVD presentation and discussion time. All points of view will be highly valued and respected. Because the series covers 12 sessions, we will divide the course into four 3-week sessions throughout the year, with the first series commencing on September 18
.
Please consider joining this provocative discussion series. The mystery of everything will probably not be revealed, but we could surely enrich the lives of one another as we share this journey together.
A look ahead for Live Your Faith classes:

National Preparedness Month - Week Four
|
|
|
 September is National Preparedness Month.
Here are your Things To Do for this week:
- Have a conversation with your family members about what you would do if a disaster happens during when you are separated.
- Identify a meet-up point and develop a communications plan.
- Check out this planning resource: http://bit.ly/PersonalPrep
- During your conversation, be sure to talk through your feelings. How would you feel? What would be most difficult? What will you want to do (often our impulse is to immediately contact a partner, kids, parents)? What should you do?
