Theme it ITALY...lasagna, another pasta, salad, bread sticks and dessert

The Day School graduation lunch was a huge success this year! We have three heading off to kindergarten this month and we were able to celebrate with families, Carol and Hank from our Day School Board and church members Bob Maynard and Art LaGrange. A HUGE thank you to Bob and Art for putting together our cupcake desserts and lending a hand getting our lunch together and cleaned up. It’s always a blessing when people show up to support our children!

Would you like to serve on the Worship Committee? We meet about four times a year to plan the special worship services and to discuss any changes to our regular worship. You don’t have to be a musician or an expert, you just need to have an interest in how this community of faith worships.

Contact Fr. Jonathan [email protected]

Bunco will take place on August 13 at 1 pm. Contact the office at 816-942-1066 or [email protected] for more information about the fun!!

Fr. Jonathan and Ann had a great vacation in Colorado last week. Among many highlights, they attended performances at the Aspen Music Festival and the Snowmass Rodeo. Hiking and gondola rides were regular activities.

Fr. Jonathan says, “Thank you very much for the paid time off. My pneumonia was a challenge at altitude but I have improved every day and am now back to normal. I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.”

The automatic door opener on the lower entrance is malfunctioning. New parts are on order, but until then, please do not use the handicap function on the lower entrance door.

Invitation to all women of St. Peter & All Saints:

You are invited to the St. Abigail's Chapter of Daughters of the King meeting on Monday, August 22nd at 7 pm in the parlor. Come to find out what the Daughters of the King are about and share some bonding time with your STPAAS sisters. All are welcome!

From the Junior Warden

Just a note to let everyone know what is going on at the church. We are in the progress of getting bids for the parlor A/C and furnace. A leaking drain pipe has been repaired. This was the cause of our lighting problems a few weeks ago.

We finally found a company to repair the lower doors. By the time you read this they will hopefully be repaired. Just found a water leak in front of the church between the water meter and church. We will call our plumber to ascertain the needed repairs. We are waiting on bids to replace a main electrical bus and bids to upgrade the electrical panel in the sacristy. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me.

Thanks,

Clay Glenn
