Compline is the last of the four services in the Daily Office (BCP, p. 127). It is descended from the night prayers said before bed at the end of the monastic round of daily prayer. Compline is a simple office including a confession of sins, one or more psalms, a short reading from scripture, versicles and responses, the Lord's Prayer, collects which ask for God's protection during the night to come, and the canticle Nunc dimittis.

Pulama: King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma
This fall, churches around the Diocese will be planning special services for the Feast of the Holy Sovereigns, honoring King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma. The feast day, which is observed on November 28, celebrates the King and Queen who brought the Anglican Church to Hawai'i, and left an enduring legacy of community service that continues to lift the human spirit, mind and body.
The Rev. Moki Hino and Dixie Kaetsu from Holy Apostles in Hilo, produced a wonderful film entitled Pulama, in which people from around the Diocese shared personal thoughts about the royal couple and the impact they had and continue to have throughout the islands. Hino and Kaetsu traveled to each of the main islands to conduct the interviews, which were then beautifully interwoven with prayer and reflections. Funded through a Diocesan grant, the video is created for all to view and share as we pay homage to our King and Queen.

Next Meeting
The Youth Group decided to postpone their October meeting to Sunday, October 23, 11:00AM in Memorial Hall.
The website will be a hub for all things youth--events, weekly meeting recaps, blog posts, acolyte schedule, Confirmation, etc.
Meeting Schedule
Beginning in November, the Youth Group will start meeting once a week, either on Wednesdays for Come As You Are (CAYA) or on Sundays to sit together at Youth Pew.
Come As You Are (CAYA)
CAYA Wednesdays are just that--youth are invited to come just as they are, whether it is sweaty after practice or just plain groggy. It'll be a chance to spend time together, play games, talk about their faith journey, and prep for Episcopal Youth Event (EYE). The first CAYA is Wednesday is November 9.
Youth Pew
Youth Pew will happen on alternate weeks from CAYA. The Youth Group will sit together in church then talk about what they heard, liked, or to address questions.
Some Youth Pew weeks the group will have a traditional meeting after church to address upcoming events and outreach opportunities.
Beach Bonfire
Friday, October 28, 6:00 - 9:00PM.
The youth will come together and have fun--barbecuing, playing games, and will end the evening with Compline.
For more information about All Saints' Youth Group, please contact Sierra Gore.

| THIS WEEK IN SUNDAY SCHOOL |
|
Each week, The Epistle will highlight the upcoming Sunday School lesson from "Weaving God's Promises."
**Editorial Note: In last week's Epistle, we incorrectly stated the lesson was the "Stories of Elijah." This week is the "Stories of Elijah." We apologize for the error**
 October 23: Stories of Elijah
This Sunday, students will have an opportunity to hear a series of stories from the life of Elijah, one of Israel's greatest prophets. He lived during the time that Israel was falling apart and abandoning God.
Elijah, a prophet in the northern kingdom of the divided monarchy (in the years 873-843 B.C.) was a very holy man, who was called to bring the faithless people back to God. Sometimes he was all alone in his faithfulness to God, but he never gave up. The many miracles that he accomplished were proof of his goodness and his favor with God.
The Elijah stories record the battle in the northern kingdom for the survival of the rule of God against the many other gods in the region. Elijah was what we call an ethical prophet, and he ushers in of a full and rich era of ethical prophecy in Israel's history. It is the prophets of this era who help the people stay faithful to God in what will be devastating times in their history.
Elijah's time is a very sad time in Israel's history, a time when her people continue, over and over again, to turn away from God. It reminds us of our own times of faithlessness, when we choose popularity or material things or hatred and resentments instead of following the commandments to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, and your neighbor as yourself." It is so easy to go in the wrong direction-this is our own Fall, continued. Later, though we cannot seem to help ourselves, we will find that God both forgives us for our faithlessness and gives us the way to remain God's chosen people by sending us God's only Son to reconcile us with God.
Sunday School Team (10/23): Team B.
Please note: Next Sunday, October 30th, is "Family Worship Sunday." Sunday School will not be offered so families can worship together for the whole service.

Baptism Preparation
The next date for Baptisms will be Sunday, November 6th at 9:30AM during the celebration of All Saints' Day. Parents/Guardians who are interested in their child being baptized or adults seeking baptism are asked to attend a Baptism Preparation Class on Sunday, October 30th at 11:00AM - 12:00PM in Memorial Hall. The class allows parents/guardians an opportunity to reflect on their own faith journey and their hopes for their child's life of faith.

For more information or to register for baptism, please contact
Father Ryan.
National Make a Difference Day

Care/Love Packages for College Students
It is that time of year again: The Episcopal Church Women (ECW) will be putting together Care/Love packages for college students in October. The packages are a wonderful way to say "we love and miss you" and offer to our college students a little piece of home.
If any of our 'Ohana would like the ECW to send a package to their child, please contact
Diane Sato
.
Interested in Discernment?
All Saints' is exploring the idea of forming a "discernment group." The exact configuration and life of the group will be largely guided by the needs of the individuals who elect to participate. At the core, we hope a group of people would gather regularly for conversation, study, and prayer specifically around each other's call. The fundamental question could be: "How can we listen for our vocation, for God's calling in our lives, and listen for it in community, in the Body of Christ?" If you might be interested in this endeavor, please either email or speak to Fr. Ryan.
