It's almost that time again, All Saints!!! This Easter Sunday, we are having our annual Easter Egg Hunt!! With Easter quickly approaching, why not reach out and help All Saints very OWN Easter Bunny!

This Easter Sunday, All Saints will again give our youngest church members a chance to hunt for Easter Eggs around the church campus before the BIG Easter worship service at 10:30am Easter Sunday morning. Our Easter Egg Hunt this year is set for 9:30am on Easter Sunday, and, as in the past, WE ARE IN NEED OF PRE-STUFFED EASTER EGGS!!!

If you can help our All Saints Easter Bunny, please pass along your Easter Eggs to Hillary Citrano or drop them off in the church office. Thank you in advance, and HAPPY EASTER EGG HUNTING!

This Monday evening, March 13th, the Men of All Saints will meet in the Parish Hall, beginning at 6:30PM. Bring an item for grilling (filet, fish or fowl) and a beverage of your choosing, and come join in the conversation and in the fellowship. Side dishes are provided. Join the Men of All Saints this Monday evening in the Parish Hall!

Donation envelopes for Easter Lilies will be in the church beginning this Sunday, March 12th, through Palm Sunday, April 2nd. In order to insure all names make it into the Easter bulletin, please fill out the info on the front of the envelope, place your donation inside, and put it in the collection basket. Be sure to write as legibly as possible. For checks, write "Easter Lilies" in the memo line. A donation of $10 per plant is suggested. You may turn in your envelopes on Sunday in the collection basket, or turn them in to the church office Monday through Thursday from 9-3 through March 30th.

Let's continue helping out the important work of the UCOM Food Pantry for those in need in our local community this Lenten season! The Food Pantry is currently in desperate need of CANNED VEGETABLES, MAC-N-CHEESE AND BREAKFAST ITEMS, all important staples for families! Please consider picking up anything you are able and then bring it to the church THIS SUNDAY. Place all food items in the Outreach Barrel just inside the front entrance of the church, and our Outreach "Helping Hands" will pick it up and deliver it to UCOM immediately.

This year please consider adding to your spiritual disciplines and devotions the walk through the Stations of the Cross at All Saints. On Wednesday, March 29th immediately following Morning Prayer, and on Wednesday, April 5th, immediately following Morning Prayer and Bible Study, Deacon Mark will lead us through all fourteen Stations of the Cross. If you've never walked through the Stations, this is your opportunity on these two Wednesdays to enrich your soul with each Stations' powerful prayers, scripture readings, and physical movement through the church with Our Lord Jesus Christ. Make the Stations of the Cross a part of season of devotion this year at All Saints.

Every Wednesday night at 6pm during the Lenten Season, Mother Teresa will present her Lenten soup study series "The Crucified Life: Seven Words from the Cross" created by our very own bishop coadjutor elect, The Rev Charlie Holt. Available in the church office are the devotional book and the study guide for $25.00, if you are able, and will be available in the Parish Hall on Wednesday nights. 

Continuing this SUNDAY, March 12th, Sunday school will begin at 10:20 downstairs in the CEB. There will be no Children's message during the 10:30 service during Lent.  Children will be brought back to their families for communion. This will give me more time with your kiddos. All children ages 4 and up are invited to come and participate with a hands-on Lenten lesson and activity. Youth are encouraged to come and be helpers if they would like. Service hours will be granted. I want to have as much time with them as possible. Having said that, I hope to see everyone Sunday!

Don't hesitate to call me if you have any questions.  I would be grateful for an RSVP please! You can reach me at hcitrano@asejax.org.

Four Winter Foyer circles have continued to meet and are having a great time! These are the causal get togethers with other Saints with the only agenda being community with one another over simple meals. A great time was had by all. Food was fantastic and the fellowship was much needed and cherished!

In many times and places, daybreak has been a time of prayer. Jews prayed in their synagogues at sunrise as well as at other times each day. This Jewish pattern of prayer formed the basis of the Christian monastic Daily Office, with its prayers or “hours” at seven times in each day. Thomas Cranmer’s revision of the Daily Office for the first English Prayer Book (1549) reduced the number of services to two - one for morning (Matins) and one for evening (Evensong or vespers). In the Second English Prayer Book (1552), the morning service was given its present name, Morning Prayer.

All Saints would love for you to join us on Monday mornings at 8 AM via Zoom to pray the service of Morning Prayer from the Daily Office. What better way to start your week than a sweet reminder that your days belong to God and that you are never alone? Just open up your computer or smart phone, and click HERE to join. The meeting ID is 845 0325 3205 and the passcode to enter the Zoom meeting is 244071 Or just email Julia Suddath HERE for the Zoom invitation. You can also use Forward Movement's Daily Prayer resource HERE to see the liturgy and to read the assigned Bible readings for Morning Prayer.
