This year Maundy Thursday, Apr. 2, is also Bishop Matt Gunter's annual visitation! He'll celebrate with Fr. Cam at the 6:30pm service. This visitation is an important part of the Episcopal tradition, so please join us if you're able.

The parish office will be closed on Easter Monday (Apr. 6).

This evening, March 25, is the last of our Lenten soup suppers. Come join us in the Palmer Room at 5:30pm for a meal of soup, salad, and bread before the 6:30pm Evening Prayer service. 

If you'd like to sponsor some of our Easter flowers in memory of a loved one, please contact the church office before Wednesday, April 1. The donation can be any amount you choose; make checks out to All Saints with "Easter flowers or as needed" in the memo line.

After the Maundy Thursday service on Apr. 2, the Watch at the Altar of Repose will take place from 8pm-12am. If you'd like to spend a quiet, prayerful hour in Grace Chapel during the night, please sign up on the bulletin board or contact the office.

As part of the preparations for Fr. Cam's arrival, we have all-new name tags! Please check out the station in the Palmer Room where you can find your name tag insert and choose the type of holder you want. If you don't have a name tag and would like to, write your name on the sign-up sheet and the secretary will make one for you. Please remember to wear your name tag whenever you're at church to help our new priest learn everyone's names.

A big All Saints THANK YOU to the intrepid group of cleaners who came out on Saturday morning to mop floors, wash windows, wipe down pews, polish brass railings, clean the church office, clean Father Cam's office, and dust everywhere! 

A whole lot of cleaning got done and the place looks great. If you missed this cleaning opportunity, fear not -- there will be plenty more...

Fr. Cam will celebrate his first service with us at All Saints on Palm Sunday, March 29. As we begin anew with Fr. Cam, let's greet him with a warm, hearty All Saints welcome! On Palm Sunday there will be a Welcome Reception following both services. If you are able and would like to make a food contribution, please contact Cherie Krynock-Morris to provide your name and food item you will be sharing.

Cherie can be reached at krynock_morris@yahoo.com or at (920)832-9239.

Volunteers from All Saints will be serving dinner at the Pillars Adult Shelter on Tuesday, April 7 from 5:30-8pm. Fr. Patrick Twomey is out of town; Pillars has made arrangements for meal preparation, but we need volunteers to help serve and clean up as usual. Please sign up on the Outreach bulletin board or contact the office!

There's a new sign-up sheet for hosting coffee hour in Apr-May-Jun. Please sign up on the bulletin board or contact the office if you'd like to provide treats for our socializing time after the 10:30 service.

Upcoming dates for Mahjongg Night (all Tuesdays):

Apr. 7 & 21

All meetings are held 6-9pm in the Palmer Room. Contact Catherine Neiswender with questions. Come join the fun!

Two Danish modern loveseats remain of the original 1960 set from the Palmer room. They need some spiffing up, have been in the undercroft, went through the flood (or “water incident”). We have researched the maker and found their value to be vastly higher than the cost of restoration, so would like to invite anyone interested to contribute to a small campaign on their behalf. For now they will remain as part of the undercroft furnishings, but could return to the Palmer room if needed.

The estimate for reupholstery, cleaning up the wood, and re-glueing some joints is $1500-$1650 for both couches, depending on price of fabric. $900 has already been raised. Please contact the office if you would like to contribute to restoring them to their mid-century glory. Checks can be made out to All Saints Episcopal Church with "loveseat restoration or as needed" in the memo line.

The Outreach Ministry is asking for your support as we join Feeding America's peanut butter and jelly collection drive from now through the end of March. Donating peanut butter and/or jelly will provide a shelf-stable food source that is highly requested by families at area food pantries. The goal of Feeding America is to collect enough peanut butter and jelly to make one million sandwiches for kids facing hunger.

For our Lenten journey…

In Joyce Rupp’s Jesus Companion in My Suffering: Reflections for the Lenten Journey, she provides a daily quote from scripture, insightful commentary on the passage, a prayer, and a suggested goal for the day. I pray that this excerpt from her book is helpful to you during this prayerful time of Lent:

AT THE MERCY OF ANOTHER

One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be made well?” The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; and while I am making my way, someone else steps down ahead of me.

—John 5:5–7

…When we search for a pool of healing to make it through a difficulty—whether the pool is a literal one, such as the one at Lourdes, or a figurative one—this requires a vulnerable willingness to admit that we can’t do everything on our own—no matter how self-reliant we attempt to be. This is especially true of inner suffering. When we yearn for another to forgive us, we ask and wait for their response. When unresolved grief or past childhood trauma assails us, we place ourselves in the care of a counselor to assist us in our recovery. When we lose the way on our spiritual path, we turned to a pastor or spiritual companion for guidance.

—————

Merciful Heart,

you teach me by your constant kindness

to be there for those who need assistance.

Your response also assures me that I, too,

must set aside my independent self at times

and humbly ask for what will be aid my healing.

Goal for Today: I will deliberately ask someone to pray for my well-being.
