All Saints' Young Adults Newsletter

September 2, 2023

Dear Friends,

National Happy Cat Month has finally arrived!!

Welcome back to the block!! I hope everyone's summer was filled with travel, connection, and relaxation. As we transition back to 9am & 11:15am services, schoolwork, and the grind of employment, I hope you will all find time to enjoy one of our many upcoming Young Adult events! As we transition into Fall, I tried to pack our schedule with lots of outside events so that we can experience the transition out of this unbearable heat (hopefully) together.

Well wishes,

Tasia Blair

Interested in supporting All Saints' Youth?

The statistic we always hear is that is takes at least 5 meaningful relationships with adults at church for youth to want to stay involved in church beyond high school. Are you ready to become one of those adults in the life of our youth?

We are looking for youth formation teachers for the 2023-2024 year! You would have the opportunity to teach our 6^th graders, 7^th graders, 8^th graders, or high school classes! Beginning in September, you would be committing to spending Sunday mornings teaching our youth (curriculum is provided) and building meaningful relationships with them throughout the formation year. If you can't commit to every Sunday, grab a friend and teach alongside them!

If you are interested or want to learn more, please reach out to Hope Westervelt (hwestervelt@allsaintsatlanta.org) and we can chat!

Virtual Bible Study

Journey to the cross and resurrection with us as we explore Luke's Gospel. The Journey Bible study group resumes September 11th. The group meets via Zoom on Mondays at 11:00 a.m. The only requirement is a Bible. Register at https://bit.ly/thejourney-ASEC. The Zoom link will be sent to you following registration.

Interested in joining a Kickball League? The Parish is looking to start a coed kickball team in the Fall and wants YOU to join. Are you ready to lace up?
