This allows time for editing and clarification when needed. 

While we recharge and rest on this holiday weekend, I ask that you take time to remember the reason for the holiday--please take time to acknowledge and memorialize and pray on this Memorial Day weekend.

Let us pray...

O Judge of the nations, we remember before you with grateful hearts the men and women of our country who in the day of decision ventured much for the liberties we now enjoy. Grant that we may not rest until all the people of this land share the benefits of true freedom and gladly accept its disciplines. This we ask in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Message from the Rector

This past Wednesday during our Acts Bible Study, we read the passage “it is better to give than to receive,” and I must admit, I’m feeling a little guilty. Especially after this past Sunday, I have received SO much of what you as a community has so generously given. I’m still on cloud 9 thinking about how wonderful and joy-filled and Spirit-filled the Installation service was, and then reception—OH, the RECEPTION!! It was perfect. So many different people gave so much to make the Celebration of New Ministry—from all the people who gave of their time to be present and celebrate together, to the presenters, the altar guild, the staff, the ECW (and their many helpers), the choir, those tending the grounds…I could go on and on!! From the bottom of heart, thank you for making Sunday something very special—I received love…I felt the love…and I am ready to give just as much to this place and community as I have received. 

Aside from taking a few periods of time off this summer, I plan to give my whole heart and soul to this community. In order for me to maintain the energy and excitement needed to give all I can, I wanted to go ahead and inform you of the time off I will be taking this year. 

May 27 – May 31

June 23 - June 29

July 11 – July 17

During these periods, there will be significant pastoral coverage in case of emergencies, and all Sundays already have supply clergy in place. You will be in good hands! Other than these dates, I don’t plan on taking any more significant time off until after the New Year. I am taking this time to ensure my rest and sabbath, and I pray each of you find time in the near future to prioritize your whole selves—body, mind, and spirit.

2022 Reading Camp Calvert

HELP!

Shark Week comes to camp!

Over the last two years, Reading Camp Calvert has been a virtual experience thanks to Covid-19 safety protocols. We are excited to kick off our return to a one week, in person day camp, designed to help underachieving students improve their reading skills, while experiencing just how fun reading can be.

Reading Camp Calvert serves rising 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students who are reluctant or emerging readers and are at least one grade level behind in reading based on their teacher recommendation. During the week, campers will engage in reading and writing activities in the morning, and traditional camp and field trip activities in the afternoon. They also receive breakfast, lunch and snacks during the day. At the end of the week campers will take home a new backpack with books they choose from our camp library. We all know that as a community, we are only as strong as our weakest link, so helping struggling readers become proficient readers benefits us all. Helping our campers changes their lives in so many ways.

Reading Camp Calvert has expanded, and now exists as two seperate, but coordinated camps, so that we may serve students from across the entire County. Our camp, Reading Camp Calvert - North, will be held July 11-15th, at St. Paul’s Parish in Prince Frederick and serves campers from Prince Frederick and north. Reading Camp Calvert - South will be held July 18-22nd, at Middleham-St. Peter’s Parish in Lusby and will serve campers from south of Prince Frederick. We need your help now more than ever! 

A CALL TO ACTION

VOLUNTEER: We have many volunteer positions available at both camps, including current and retired teachers to provide fun reading and writing activities, a volunteer coordinator, young adult and teen camp counselors, fund raisers, a photographer, a media coordinator and more. New and returning volunteers are welcome to join us! Reach out to one of the directors below to learn more or to apply.

DONATE: There is no expense for the camper families. Total camp costs have been approximately $8,000 in past years, which is about $200 per camper. We know that current inflation is going to bust those costs out of the water, and we aren’t really sure yet what the actual costs will be. You may donate…

Sweet 16 plus 1

The June 12 meeting of Les Saints du Vin will celebrate 17 years of All Saints' wine tasting group. In honor of this auspicious occasion, Sherrill and Mary Ann Munn will host the event with high-end wines to honor the wonderful friendships this group has developed. The wines are more costly than normal, but the Munns will underwrite the cost above $20/person. You can blame the increased cost on Mary Burke. At our last wine tasting, she asked why can't we do a tasting of higher-end wines such as Brunello di Montalcino. So, that was our challenge. So, we will have a tasting of higher-end wines.

How do you define higher-end wines? There are many factors, but here is Sherrill's definition: wines from historically great regions, from great appellations within that region, and wineries with outstanding reputations. That is how these wines were chosen. If you wish to read about the regions, check out Champagne, Bordeaux, Alsace, Loire, Meursault, Cote d'or Burgundy, Brunello di Montalcino and Napa Valley.

As always, please bring food to share.

Newcomers welcome!! Please RSVP to the Munns at njoydancin@aol.co or 410-286-7586. Our address is 5961 Sunderleigh Drive, Sunderland. Have fun! See you June 12.

Time for Lunch Out!

Raise the flag and enjoy a great meal at Chesapeake Grill & Deli, Rose Haven, Tuesday, June 14, as you support Chesapeekers, Calvert County's chapter of Questers, International.  Our current project is to help Linden, the Calvert County Historical Society, purchase period bookcases for its recently acquired collection of the works of Hulbert Footner of Solomons.  Patti At Lee, Sherrill and Mary Ann Munn and Susan Custis are Chesapeekers who know “It’s fun to search and a joy to find.”  Questers is a non-profit organization dedicated to historical education, preservation and restoration.

Magnetic Signs

Thank you all for helping to advertise the 16th Calvert Arts Festival with our magnetic car/truck signs! Please bring the signs to the church and leave them on the back bench by Steve's sound system so we may use them again next year. Welcome done, all of you!

ECW Newsflash

Since the beginning of the year, we have been without a full term president. To fill in the gap, we have had volunteers serve in two month slots. Beginning in July, Deb Shupe will step in as our president for a full term. Our heartfelt gratitude goes to our three 2022 short-term presidents, Mary Ann, Lissi and Patti. We couldn't have continued on without you! Deb and Patti will work closely together during the month of June to complete an efficient hand-off.

Did you know that all women, 16 and older, are welcome to participate in ECW meetings and events? We meet on the third Saturday of the month to discuss and plan upcoming events, review recent past events, share ideas and more. In the Covid and post-Covid environment, these meetings have been held via Zoom. As an exciting outcome of our Women's Breakfast in April, the ECW is planning on quarterly on-site fellowship/presentation gatherings for the women of the parish.  

We are happy to announce that we will begin our quarterly fellowship events on June 18th with a presentation on "The Five Love Languages" by our very own Deborah Plumley. We would love to have ALL the women in the Parish join us for fun and fellowship with a purpose. Details are in the flyer and please be sure to RSVP so we can make sure we have enough supplies for all.

Our regular business meeting will be held before the presentation, starting at 9AM on June 18th (in person for the first time in more than two years - WOOHOO!). If you are interested in finding out what the ECW is about and what we do, we would love to have you join us early for our regular meeting. If you are just interested in love languages and fellowship, join us around 9:45 for coffee and snacks before the presentation begins. If you have any questions, contact us at allsaints1692ecw@aol.com

The Busy Month of May

A huge THANK YOU to the ladies and gentlemen who helped set up, cook and serve two funeral receptions, worked, cooked and crafted for the Calvert Arts Festival, and last but not least Andrew’s Installation reception. I cannot thank enough those who helped with two, three or four events and through it all continued to ask if I needed anything else. As always, All Saints ECW and friends came through to make the events in the month of May a fantastic success. THANK YOU!     

Patti At Lee
