Children's Chapel + Nursery On A Break
Children’s Chapel will be on summer break through Sunday, August 14. We will resume on August 21. Your children are invited to use the clip boards which are found on the table in the Narthex. There are crayons , paper and coloring pages on that same table as well as copies of the Junior Sunday Paper. The Junior Sunday paper is lectionary based and has a Bible story, a message for parents and can be colored. There is also a basket of children’s books that your children may borrow to look at during the service.
Our nursery will also be closed for the next few weeks and will reopen on August 28 for the 10:30am service.

Pray for the Saints
Transition Prayer Practice
Below you will find an at-home prayer or collect during our time of transition. Each week the DOVE will contain words and phrases to meditate on and pray over, some questions from theologian Henri Nouwen, as well as a collect about times of transition. The goal of this practice is to enhance our sense of God’s presence and guidance during this in-between time, as well as to prepare us spiritually for the changes in our parish’s future. Please consider adding this practice to your current prayer time, or creating a time during your week for it.
The words, phrases, and collects that you will find in the DOVE have come about through the work of the Pray for the Saints Group. This week, the words we want to share are: focus, involvement, practical, and harmony. This group meets weekly on Thursdays at 12:15pm in the library. Everyone is welcome to join as often as they can.
Questions from Henri Nouwen
"Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone's face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love?
A Collect for Transition
God of the in-between and unknown, who was and is and is to come: We thank you for your presence and protection as we pass through deep waters. Guide us on the way, opening the eyes of our hearts to your enduring, faithful, and unending presence. Grant us wisdom to discern the path, hopeful hearts as we strive to follow your way, courage to imagine, and joy to create. Through Jesus Christ, your Word who dwelt with us, who with you and the Holy Spirit makes all things new, and who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.
From Church Divinity School of the Pacific

Trip to Italy - 2023
Marie Wilcox is organizing and planning a trip to Italy for 2023. She has organized trips for middle school students and families since 2000. This time, she wants to offer an adult and older youth trip. The trip is not church sponsored or can be considered a religious trip—even though we will go to St Francis in Assisi, St Peter’s at the Vatican in Rome and St Mark’s Basilica in Venice just to name a few places.
We will travel June 19-27, 2023.
For more information visit the trip website.

Tuckahoe Square Dancing Class
You may or may not know that the Tuckahoe Square Dance Club has been enjoying dancing on Friday evenings in Thornton Hall for more than five years. We would like to invite you to a night of square dancing to show you what a fun, social occasion it can be – as well as great exercise!
At our demonstration dance, you will have a chance to learn some of the basic calls. (Do you remember how to do-si-do? Then you've already got one call mastered!) Don't worry – we'll have experienced dancers there to help you along. You'll also get to interact with our friendly, fun square dancers (some of whom began square dancing by starting with a demo class just like this one).
This dance is free, and the dress is casual (feel free to come in jeans, shorts, etc.).
Please come join us for a fun evening! We'd love to have you!
Date: Friday, August 26, 2022
Time: 7:30-9:30 PM
Location: Thornton Hall in All Saints Episcopal Church
Who: Open to anyone 12 years old and older
