Easter Day Egg Hunt

We need volunteers to help before (Sat. 3/30) to stuff eggs, and Easter Morning to hid eggs.

Please contact Ellen if you are able to help.

Thanks to all who donated and who will help!

This is so exciting. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! The diapers coming in have been phenomenal. We are going to help keep hundreds of little butts dry and comfortable. We are at the end of our annual diaper drive. Easter Day is the last day for donations. The crib will be emptied on Monday, April Fools Day. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the possibility of purchasing a package of diapers either by yourself or with a friend or two, you could always write a check for five or ten dollars. Just make it out to All Saints Church and put Diaper Drive in the memo line. There will be one more newsletter blurb letting you know the totals of what has been donated and delivered to the Utah Diaper Bank. Your generosity of diaper contributions has been wonderful. Again, Thank You.

The Good Friday Offering:

The collection at All Saints on Good Friday will be donated.

A 102-Year Tradition Supporting Organizations in the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East

Join in this year's Good Friday Offering by contributing to your local congregation's plate offering. The Good Friday Offering is a century-long tradition of supporting efforts in the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East. This effort, born in the aftermath of World War I, is a call to action that urges Episcopalians to extend their support for pastoral care, education, and healthcare in the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East. The following organizations will directly benefit from your contribution:

Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City provides critical medical care to all people, in peacetime and wartime alike. St. George’s is the only Anglican church in Iraq, serving local Indigenous communities and displaced people through worship, schools, and medical care. Christ Church in Aden, Yemen, serves as the grounds of Ras Morbat Eye Clinic, providing critical medical care for all in a war-torn country.

The Christian National Kindergarten at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church, Nablus, in the West Bank, provides high-quality early education to all kindergartners, regardless of religion.

Your contribution can make a profound difference in the lives of those in need. You can also make a gift to the Good Friday Offering in one of the following ways:

Palm Sunday, 3/24/24

The Rev. Trace Browning; The Passion of Our Lord

Sermon begins @41:45

BOBS Needed:

Our choir consists of those who sing soprano, alto, and tenor, and then there is Bob. Bob is our one and only bass.

We need more BOBS! Are you a BOB? You don't have to be named Bob to be a BOB, some basses actually have other names.

We will take singers who sing other parts too, but we really need some BOBS!

Eucharistic Visitors

If you or someone else from All Saints who is homebound needs a visit with communion, please notify Marlin or Fr. Trace. They will arrange a visit with Toni Marie Sutliff who will manage home visits during the absence of Deacon Anita Miner.

Thank you, Deacon Anita

Fellowship

The Fellowship of All Saints (Coffee Hour)

Please join us after the services.

Every Sunday we will have coffee and other beverages. Some there will be snacks as well.

Sign-up sheet in the back of the church, feel free to sign-up with someone, it’s more fun and less work.

Thanks to ALL who host!!

Please make sure to put out the collection bottle each time you host! Thanks.

Altar Flowers (after Easter) Change

Thank you to all who have given so generously for Easter Flowers.

Following Easter, we will only have fresh flowers on Sundays that someone has donated for them. We will use a nice silk flower arrangement on other Sundays. The cost for the fresh flowers is now $71 a Sunday, and we just can’t afford to pay that every week unless a donation is made.

Please sign-up if you would like to give in Memory of Thanksgiving.

To help facilitate this change, we need a volunteer to look at the sign-up each Sunday for the following Sunday, and then call Brown Floral to order an arrangement. Otherwise, we will have silk arrangement to use. Thanks!

Deacon Anita's Sabbatical

3/26: I’m in Madrid still but leave soon for Santiago de Compostela.

But will give you an idea.

Rev. Anita

Anglican Pilgrim Center in Santiago

Outreach & Stewardship (& Fellowship)

Tickets will be available the night of: at the door.

There is a sign-up sheet at the church to help with dinner totals.

Hildegards Food Pantry

Current Needs: baby wipes, and of course, all food items. Gifts of cash will help the pantry buy needed items in bulk. You can write a check to ASEC (include in memo line "Pantry").

If you or someone you know is in need of help from the food bank, please contact Marlin, or Rev. Anita.

You can also volunteer your time at the Pantry, for info go to: Hildegardes

Sale Idea of the Week:

Take a look at your office/correspondence type of materials – envelopes, file folders, paper cutter, greeting cards (including Xmas), stationery, etc. and see if there is anything there which could be donated to the sale. If you find anything, add it to your donation box. Maybe by now it is more than one box?

Diocese of Utah Fourth March Edition - NEW

Book Sale at St. Paul's Episcopal

It's time for the St. Paul's semi-unpredictable book sale. On April 7 and April 14, during the coffee hour, we will be selling used books at ridiculously low prices. Please consider cleaning out a shelf or two of books you will never read again, and donate them to the cause. We will collect them in the nursery on the first floor of the church office beginning right now. All proceeds will go to St. Paul's food pantry. In the past, we have earned from $500 to $1000 for this cause. If you need help getting your books to the church, or have any questions, call Ray Wilmot at 801-328-1963. All are welcome to peruse and purchase books on April 7 and 14. Coffee hour begins about 12:30 PM.

Mark Your Calendars: Episcopalian Film "Philadelphia Eleven" Showcases First Ordained Women

"The Philadelphia Eleven," a film celebrating the groundbreaking story of eleven women ordained in the Episcopal Church, is set for a special limited theatrical release in eleven theaters nationwide—including one in Utah on May 14th.

The film, in partnership with local dioceses, aims to bring this inspirational narrative to a wider audience, commemorating the 50th anniversary of these historic ordinations.

The screening in Utah will feature a post-film panel discussion, offering a closer look into the film's themes and the legacy of The Philadelphia Eleven. More information about the Utah screening will be made available shortly.
