The competition has been tough to make it to the second round of Lent madness: the saintly 16. The winners to date include: Stephen, Henry Beard Delany, Moses the Black, Mechtild of Magdeburg, Florence Nightingale, Henry Budd, Odo of Cluny, Augustine of Canterbury, and  Martin Luther. Read all about them at www.lentmadness .org - and make your voice heard for the remaining competitions by voting!

We will keep track of those who make it to the next round on our own bracket at All Saints' and hope everyone will begin campaigning for their favorite during Coffee Hour throughout Lent.

All the women in the parish are invited to gather at the home of Nancy Morrison (56 Claremont Avenue in Arlington) for Women's Fellowship. We will begin with 

refreshments at 7:00 pm followed 

by a program led by April French.

 

On Friday, March 31st All Saints' will host a fundraiser for the Godly Play Foundation. All are invited for a festive evening of wine (provided by Spirited Gourmet of Belmont) and food, and an opportunity to hear about the amazing work the Foundation is doing and hopes to do in the coming years.

The Circle

The Godly Play Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation incorporated in the State of Texas in the United States of America.

The Godly Play Foundation was created for the purpose of promoting and guiding Godly Play practice through research, training, and resources. These activities are carried out by the Foundation's divisions, subsidiaries, and strategic alliances including:

 

This past month the Vestry and Officers began a conversation about solar power. For many, the desire to reduce our carbon footprint stems from our conviction that we are stewards of God's glorious creation, and as such need to take concrete steps toward the effort to address climate change. 

A second motivation is that energy costs are climbing, and as we see our building usage grow we need to find a way to bring our costs down. 

Could solar power be the answer?  We have contacted a few companies specializing in solar to get some answers. 

Join us on Sunday, April 2 after the 10 am service as we consider the options and wonder together about whether this might be the right step for our community.

 

Volunteers needed on Saturday, April 8 to help prepare things for Holy Week. Additionally, we will need a crew to do some "heavy-lifting" - moving debris from the basement to a dumpster.

We will work from 9:00 am - Noon.

 

Plans are underway for this year's Agape Meal - always a highlight of Holy Week at All Saints'. Please make a reservation (the hall is limited and this service is very popular), and as always, sign up to help if you can. 

We need volunteers to help with set-up and clean-up, table hosts, and people to make soup!

 

Plans for Holy Week and Easter are well underway. Flowers have been ordered and are set to be delivered on the Saturday before Easter. 

We hope many of you will consider making a donation toward the flowers in memory of a loved one. Envelopes were mailed to your homes this week, and they are also available on the table in the Clark Street Vestibule. 

Be sure to print the names you want in the Easter service leaflets carefully (so Cheryl can read them!).
