Upcoming Events!

Beginning in July, the labyrinth in Sutherland Hall will be open the first and third Thursday of each month from 6:00-8:00 in the evening. Labyrinth walks are a powerful tool for prayer, meditation, and reflection. Erin Clair will serve as the guide for these walks. Feel free to contact her with questions at [email protected] .

Planning Meeting for the children's Sunday School 2017-2018 program will be held immediately after the 10:30 service on Sunday July 16th. If you are interested in this ministry for our children please plan to attend.

Comfort Zone meeting is cancelled for the month of July because of the holiday. We will meet again the first Tuesday of August.

EfM will have a spaghetti lunch and bake sale fundraiser on July 9th. The spaghetti lunch will include spaghetti, salad, dessert, either a cinnamon roll or brownie, and a drink (if you eat in) to go orders will be available. Cinnamon rolls and brownies will be available to purchase at the bake sale. Lunch will cost $7 per person.

Greeters Needed

I would like to meet with people interested in the greeter's ministry. Being a greater is a vital ministry welcoming people to All Saints'. Did you know that 85% of people greeted by a lay person return to the church? This would be a once or twice a month commitment. We need greeters for the 8 o'clock service, and for the 10:30 service. Please contact Kimby at the church for my contact information at 479-968-3622 and I will return your email or phone call.

Thank you,

Ricki Duffee

Worship at Camp Mitchell

All are invited to worship at the Chapel of the Transfiguration at Camp Mitchell every Sunday evening at 5 p.m. for a Rite II Eucharistic liturgy. Enjoy the beauty of nature while being fed spiritually. If there is bad weather the service will move to Hoke Lodge.

Central Pres. Blessing Box!

Central Pres has placed a Blessing Box outside the Denver street entrance. We have learned in the last couple of months that there is a high demand for basic food and clothing in our area. We would like to invite your congregations to be a part of this ministry. We check it each morning to make sure it is stocked. We look to provide foods that keep well and are ready to eat. We also stock it with clothing and diapers and basic hygiene items. Please donate by dropping off your donations at Central Pres.

NEIGHBORS TABLE

Many thanks to the Coles for the delicious squash from their garden. Our guests love fresh vegetables and salad and eat as much as we can fix; generous donations make serving these healthy meals possible. We are continuing to welcome newcomers to Neighbors Table nearly every week. Please remember Neighbors Table in your prayers.

To serve on a Saturday morning, call or text Catherine, 264-4346, or sign up on the white boards. If you would like to serve in other ways, or have questions, call or text Catherine.
