Hi Friends,

Happy Thursday! I hope everyone is enjoying their last bits of summer break before school resumes. As you prepare for school, extracurricular activities, and sports, I hope you will also include All Saints' in those preparations. We are in full swing getting ready for an amazing year and a fun kick-off to the semester! In this email, you will find our August Save The Dates as well as Parent Volunteer Opportunities. Please take a few moments to add the August dates to your calendar and to also consider volunteering for at least one parent opportunity.

Additionally, be on the lookout for a FULL 2022-2023 Y'All Saints calendar in the coming weeks. We are so excited for this year and hope you are getting just as excited!



Peace,
Hope

August Save The Dates
Parent Volunteer Corner

As we get closer to our fall programming, which begins on September 11th, we wanted to start ensuring we have parent volunteers at a variety of our events! Volunteering for Y'All Saints Youth Ministry is something we hope all parents will participate in, in at least one way. This ranges from being a Sunday School teacher to providing a meal during SNL one night. Please think through how you would like to serve and respond via the link below!

Description of Opportunities:
  • SNL Meal Volunteer: Providing a meal during one of our SNL nights for approximately 20 youth. This could be homemade, delivery, or catered...it would totally be up to you!
  • Volunteering at SNL: Being an additional adult presence at one of our SNL nights. This would be a time commitment of 6pm-7:30pm on a Sunday night.
  • Volunteering during Attic Invasion: Being an additional adult presence at one of our middle school Attic Invasions. This would be a time commitment of 7pm-9pm on a Friday night.
  • Sunday School Teacher: This would be a September-May commitment to teaching each Sunday morning at 10:15am. This is a great way to get to know our youth and be an influential person in their faith life! Our classes are divided by 6th grade, 7th grade, 8th grade, and high school
  • High School Small Group Leader: High School small groups will meet once a month on Wednesday nights at 6pm. They will follow a small group guide with lots of great questions and conversation. We look forward to providing this new ministry for our high schoolers!
  • Weekend Retreat Chaperone: Volunteering to drive youth and stay during one of our diocesan retreats at Camp Mikell! These always last from Friday night-Sunday afternoon.


ACOLYTE TRAINING SAVE THE DATE


Save The Date for our Acolyte Training on Saturday, August 13th at 10am!



If you are a current acolyte or would like to be an acolyte, please mark your calendars for our Acolyte Training! We will learn all of the acolyte roles and responsibilities which will prepare us for a wonderful 2022-2023 year of serving! We will begin at 10am and should end by 12pm.

Please let Hope know if you plan to be an acolyte but can't be at the training so we can make sure you still get added to a team.
