Ministry Team Training
All Saints' is starting Ministry Teams! This is a new way to organize those who serve in different ministries on Sunday mornings. Basically, a team of individuals will be assigned to "host worship" each Sunday of the month. There will be three trainings in February that will cover the ministries of Greeters, Lectors, Oblationers, Intercessors, and Ushers. Everyone in the church is encouraged and invited to participate in one of these training sessions to both find their ministry and/or refresh their training. Two remaining sessions are offered on Wednesday the 13th at 5pm, and Sunday the 17th at 9am. Contact [email protected] with questions.

As a fundraiser for camp scholarships, the Episcopal Youth Community invites you to participate in the Lenten devotion of Lent Madness! Lent Madness is an engaging way for people to learn about the men and women comprising the church's calendar of Saints. The format is a spin-off of the basketball lover's March Madness bracket (see the poster on display in Shoemaker): 32 Saints are placed into a tournament-like single elimination bracket. Following a schedule that starts after Ash Wednesday and ends the Wednesday of Holy Week, each paring remains open for a set period of time and people, all across the nation, go to
www.lentmadness.org
to vote for their favorite saint. Will you be able to predict the winner of the golden halo? For a $5 donation, get your own bracket during coffee hour on Sunday or at the Pancake Supper on Tuesday, March 5th. Information booklets about the 32 participating Saints will also be available during these times. Combo deals: $8 for bracket/Pancake Supper ticket combo or $30 family deal for four brackets and four pancake supper tickets. All completed brackets must be turned in to the office by Ash Wednesday on March 6th with your name and email listed. For more information and to sign up for daily emails reminding you to vote for your selected saint online, visit
LentMadness.org.
Lent Madness encourages everyone to get to know some amazing people who came before us in the faith and reminds us that there's no reason for a dreary Lenten discipline.
