"It's gonna be May," "May the fourth be with you," "Happy Mother's Day"

Okay I think that covers all the things I need to say this month? As things wind down and we head into the summer months, I know we will inevitably see less and less of each other. Whether you stay in town but cannot bring yourself to wake up for the 10am service we'll transition to (trust me, I feel that) or you're traveling and enjoying time in the fellowship of others, I pray that the foundation and friendships you've built at All Saints will remain. We will slow down events during summer months, but I encourage you all to stay connected with the parish and with each other during these months. Then we have a packed and exciting calendar resuming in August to look forward to!

Advanced notice that June 8th will be my last official brunch as your Young Adults Coordinator, as I will depart shortly after for my internship in Houston. I hope that you will all join me that day to celebrate! We will also be praying for the departure of Jacob Clifton, and welcoming our new Young Adults Coordinator, Piper Shifflett, during that brunch! I am beyond excited that Piper will be taking over this role, as I know she will do an excellent job in continuing to foster a welcoming environment for all young adults who call All Saints home.

Note: The summer service schedule will change (replacing the 9am and 11:15 services with one 10am service) Memorial Day Weekend.
