Church re-Roofing project begins
On Tuesday, June 6th, the work began to replace the roof on the Church.
"T
he roof was well beyond its life expectancy and beginning to show significant signs of deterioration," said Rev. Ryan Newman. "If this major maintenance issue continued to be deferred by our congregation, we could have had a major disaster on our hands. The roof needed be replaced."
The new roof will feature a state-of-the-art roofing product, Davinci Bellaforté. Bellaforté Shake roofing tiles are an engineered product that provides a durable and low maintenance way to achieve a natural hand-split cedar shake look. The product is 100% recyclable, resists mold and moss, retains its color, and has been tested in up to 175 MPH wind speeds. The product carries a 50-year limited warranty. Despite it being an engineered product, the shakes look like real wood. In the past couple of years, the product has been used on structures in the National Register of Historic Places as well as the Hawai'i Register of Historic Places.

The voices of the Spirit
Many members of All Saints' may recall that Pentecost Sunday in years past included members of the congregation reading scripture in various native or acquired languages. This past Sunday, we did things a little differently. The All Saints Choir honed their foreign language skills and proclaimed God's word through song in four different languages! The hymns were sung in English. An invitation for the Holy Spirit to come was sung in Latin ("Veni Sancte Spiritus"). A prayer of confession and pardon was sung in Hawaiian ("Ke Aloha O Ka Haku" also known as "The Queen's Prayer," by Queen Lili'uokalani), and an offertory anthem which describes the beauty of God was sung in Tagalog ("Tanging Yaman," by Manoling Francisco, SJ).
What will choir do next? There is some time to think about that, since the choir has begun its summer recess. Choir practice will resume on Thursday, July 13, and will again be seated for the service on Sunday, July 16.
The All Saints' Choir extends a warm welcome to new members, amateur and professional, alike. Even if you are just visiting Kaua'i and would like join the choir during your stay, you are more than welcome. We are in particular need of additional tenor and bass voices.
Practice occurs each Thursday at 6:00PM in the Music Room (south entrance of the All Saints' Gym). Sunday call times are generally 8:45AM. If you would like to "in-choir" about the All Saints' Choir, please contact Hank Curtis. All Saints' welcomes you!

Game on . . . dodgeball tournament returns this summer
Kauai's premier family-centered sporting event, FiF Dodgeball, returns for the 12th year on Friday, July 28 and Saturday, July 29. The tournament annually draws teams from around the island, state, and even the mainland.
"
This year's tournament will be a great event. We we hope everyone will join us for the fun and fellowship," says
Tournament Director, Chris Kostka. The Dodgeball Committee under Chris Kostka's leadership have planned another amazing month-long dodgeball extravaganza culminating with the tournament.
Player and team registration began this week
. The priority deadline is Friday, July 21 at 11:59PM.
It is recommended that players and teams register early. Participants are NOT required to have a team when they register. Individuals who do not have a team will be placed on a team a week before the tournament starts.
The FiF Dodgeball Tournament is run solely by volunteers. This ministry welcomes the help of our All Saints' 'Ohana to make this year's dodgeball program another huge success. Volunteer roles include referees, tournament staff, gym supervisors,
setup and breakdown assistance, and hospitality.
FiF Dodgeball is supported 100% by monetary donations, gifts-in-kind, sponsorship, and grants. Participants play for free and no admission fee is charged to fans. We need the community's generous support. To learn more about ways to support FiF Dodgeball, please

Each week, The Epistle will highlight the upcoming Sunday School lesson from "Weaving God's Promises."
June 11: We are Baptized in Christ
Mark 1:9-11: There are important themes associated with the rite of Baptism. Here is what our baptism does for us:
- Unites us with Jesus Christ.
- Brings us into the community of the Church, the Body of Christ.
- Gives us new birth.
- Cleanses our sins.
- Brings the Holy Spirit into our lives.
Through baptism, our spiritual life is irrevocably changed, not
only in our relationship with God through the sense of God's
presence in our life, but also in our relationship with the world in
which we live and how we express God's presence in the world.
Our commitment to a baptismal life is deepened every time
we witness another baptism and hear the words of the rite and
renew our own baptismal vows. Every baptism that we attend,
every Baptismal Covenant that we repeat, every baptismal prayer that we hear reminds us of our commitment to life in Christ that we made in our own baptism.
