AV Volunteers Needed
Have you enjoyed our livestreams over the past year? Do you watch the sermons on Sunday or Monday? Both of these happen thanks to our AV team, and we need new members! No experience required and training available, this is the easiest way to make sure our members who are worshipping at home can have the same experience as us in person. If interested, contact Sam Robinson, our AV coordinator.

Hosts Needed for Cookie and Lemonade Hour!
Volunteering for Sunday morning hospitality is an easy way to get involved and requires very little cleanup or prep! Lemonade will be prepared by the Sexton. You can bring in your own treat or grab some of the cookies we have in the freezer in the kitchen (you will just need to make sure there is time for them to thaw).

Tech 4 Troops + Human Needs Committee
Deadline for Donations due by April 30
There are so many wonderful organizations and opportunities in our community and our goal for 2022 is twofold, one to bring awareness to more organizations in our community, and two, to help support their mission by making a donation. In partnership with the All Saints Human Needs Committee, this quarter we have selected Tech 4 Troops. T4T started in 2013 by a mother and son team who were passionate about helping military veterans in need. They collect and refurbish Macs and PCs for veterans. They also provide training at little or no cost.
To learn more about them, click here. You may have computers, printers, and other equipment you no longer use but aren’t sure what to do with them, Tech4Troops welcomes these donations! You can also find a complete list of what technology they accept on their website that can be dropped off at their office off of Staples Mill at 4840 Waller Road.
To support Tech4Troops, consider donating any unused computers or equipment directly to them, or make a monetary donation. The Human Needs Committee will match contributions up to $500. If you would like to donate, you can write a check payable to All Saints with “Tech4Troops” in the memo or you can make your contribution online. Be sure to select “Human Needs 2022 Challenge” in the drop-down menu.
