Conflict Transformation Workshops
In our latest Thursday news letter (tinyurl.com/May5ASCNews), Penny outlined a two-step process by which we engage in a process of coming to terms with things we are carrying that weigh us down and let them go to free us into a new life at All Saints Church. The first step is a 3-hour workshop happening on the following dates:
Saturday, May 21, 9:00 am - noon at Church in the Library with Penny Nash
Saturday, May 21, 9:00 am - noon on Zoom with Susan Czologosz
It's not too late to signup for a workshop! A number of parishioners have already participated and urge you to take the time to engage in this process. Each workshop is limited to 20 people. Register for one of the workshops by emailing info@allsaintsrichmond.org with your choice. The second step will be a 90-minute reconciliation group gathering at a later date.

Little Hands Diaper Drive
We started 2022 off with a goal to highlight a few of the non profits in our area each quarter. The first drive of 2022 wrapped up on May 1 and we are pleased to announce that we were able to send a check to Tech4Troops for $1520 ($500 of which was the Human Needs Committee Matching Funds). Thank you to those who donated and to the Human Needs Committee for their matching contribution.
From now through the end of summer, we will be hosting a drive for Little Hands. Little Hands is an organization started by a local mom in 2019 to "make sure children from birth to 3 years old have the essentials to thrive from “Day 1.” To read more about them, click here.
We will be collecting new and gently used children's board books and infant toys (0-6 months only), baby wash or lotion (13 oz + larger), and diapers and wipes (all sizes including pull ups). Look for boxes in the cloister hallway to leave your donations.

AV Volunteers Needed
Have you enjoyed our livestreams over the past year? Do you watch the sermons on Sunday or Monday? Both of these happen thanks to our AV team, and we need new members! No experience required and training available, this is the easiest way to make sure our members who are worshipping at home can have the same experience as us in person. If interested, contact Sam Robinson, our AV coordinator.

Hosts Needed for Cookie and Lemonade Hour!
Volunteering for Sunday morning hospitality is an easy way to get involved and requires very little cleanup or prep! Lemonade will be prepared by the Sexton. You can bring in your own treat or grab some of the cookies we have in the freezer in the kitchen (you will just need to make sure there is time for them to thaw).
Signup to help on the bulletin board in the cloister. If you have any questions, please email Winston, she can also sign you up for a Sunday.
