Hello families,

We had a wonderful Newcomers' Dinner last night that really reminded me of why we "fit" our name.

All sorts were there -

young and old,

cradle Episcopalians and new-to-any church'ers,

southerners and northerners,

artists and lawyers

- drawn to this place by the Holy Spirit at work.

All Saints, All Sorts, All Sinners, All Souls - together, learning to walk in the way of love with each other.

Each of us trying and failing and trying again. Each of us forgiving and needing forgiveness. Each of us the same, really. All imperfect children of God learning to let our light shine.

Peace,

Kathy

Lent Resources

1. The children and youth team purchased two amazing devotionals for the parish for Lent, one about Climate Change and one using Mary Oliver's poetry. Parishioners can choose which one they would like to use as individuals or families. A few printed versions will be available around the church, but we have a link to the digital versions available online at Meditations for Lent
2. The Stations of the Cross are hung up in the church for you to walk through. The 14 stations tell the story of Jesus' walk towards Golgotha and his crucifixion and resurrection. We recently added 4 new pieces by artists around the city. Here is a guide to use as you walk through and look at the art.

Sandwich Make for Habitat Volunteers

Plant Seeds of Hope

February 24, 10-11am

We need Volunteers. Won't you come? Bring a friend or neighbor.

Join us to make sandwiches for volunteers working on our Habitat House on Saturday, Feb. 24th from 10-11am. The kids want to be a part of this outreach ministry, but unfortunately, they are too young. What we can do is plant some flowers in containers to deliver at the Giving Over Ceremony and we can make food for those working on the house. We will meet in Ellis Hall to put together about 50 sandwiches and and plant our seeds in containers. I will take the sandwiches over to the house (anyone else is welcome to follow me over to help serve them!). We will keep the plants on our window sill until time to deliver them. We will make turkey and ham sandwiches, I will provide the chips and cookies. Please sign up to bring one of the ingredients and join us for some good old fashioned service ministry time. And if you have any old potting soil or pots, let me know.

"God use our hands and feet to serve others".
