All Saints Choir Camp - August 18-22
Do your children sing all the time at home? Do they play an instrument and would like to explore another musical experience? All Saints Choir Camp is a great way to give singing a try, meet other kids who love music, and see if singing in a choir is something they’d enjoy! Open to all children grades 2 – 8 (unchanged boys voices only), no musical or prior singing experience needed! We will take COVID precautions where needed to ensure a safe and fun environment.
We have an action packed 5 days lined up for Choir Camp this year! Wednesday – Friday each will have a special guest presenter exploring a different theme. We’ll do music and learning in the morning, and go on a fun excursion each afternoon. On Saturday and Sunday, the Rev. Dr. William Bradley Roberts will be our guest conductor as we prepare to sing for Sunday worship on August 22.

*New dates added for September and October.
Join in the fun by serving and visiting with all your friends after such a long year. Volunteering for Sunday morning hospitality has never been easier!
Lemonade and coffee will be prepared by the Sexton. Cookies will be in the freezer and need to be thawed and plated at 10:30am to be ready after the 11am service. For now this will only be after the 11am service. Please serve the Cookies with tongs. That's its. Very little clean up and lots of happy faces.

Do you enjoy meeting people, helping others to feel comfortable and included? The opportunity is here and now! We are all new in a way after having been apart for so long. We each have the ability to greet one another - those we haven’t seen in a year, those we might not recognize with the masks, and of course, the visitors/newcomers. Each week we can challenge ourselves to speak to three or four individuals, couples or families that we do not recognize or know well. If you wish to make more of a commitment, we urge you to join the Newcomers Committee. No meetings, just attend church and the social events and help everyone feel welcome at All Saints. Contact: Jimmie Drean or Betsy Cockriel.
