Hi Friends,

Happy April! Can you believe we are about to enter Holy Week and Easter? Time truly does fly by. Something that I have been really excited about it the youth's involvement with the upcoming Maundy Thursday Agape Meal and Foot Washing. This is a wonderful opportunity for our youth to be lifted up and lead during such a special meal and service. Our Baking Through The Bible group will even be baking the bread for the meal the evening of April 10th! I want to encourage all of your families to attend and for your youth to sign-up to be a part of this event. You can find all of the information and links to sign-up below.

I hope you are all continuing to have a blessed and meaningful Lenten season. See you on Sunday!

Peace,
Hope

SIGN UP TO SERVE DURING THE
MAUNDY THURSDAY AGAPE MEAL
Ya'll Saints will be helping to host the Agape Meal on Maundy Thursday (April 14th at 6:00 p.m.) and we need volunteers! Please sign-up to be either a scripture reader or a table host during the evening. Scripture readers will help with reading during the service and will read a couple of sentences each. The table hosts will help facilitate conversation with the people around them using conversation prompts on the table. We would love 5 volunteers per role, but the more the merrier! Click on the button below to sign-up or register to attend and bring a dish to share!

You can also join us for Baking Through The Bible on April 10th when we will be baking the bread for Thursday evening.
MIDDLE SCHOOL SUMMER BEACH RETREAT
We are heading to the beach! All rising 6th-9th graders are invited to join us for a weekend of fun in the sun while also building community and growing in faith. We will be staying at The Laguna Beach Christian Retreat Center in Panama City Beach, Florida where we will be sharing a large house right on the beach! The center has pools, volleyball and basketball courts, and a plethora of activities.

The cost of the weekend is $200 and includes transportation, lodging, food, and all activities. More information, including packing list, to come!
SNL LENTEN "BAKING THROUGH THE BIBLE" SERIES
During the season of Lent, the youth at All Saints' will be baking through the Bible and learning how to connect with God through bread. We hope all youth in 6th-12th grade will join us as we bake in community and see all the ways that bread is tied to scripture and tradition! Dinner will be provided.

Sundays, 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in The Attic.
"BETTER THE BLOCK" WORKDAY
Help us beautify the church campus! Volunteers will help apply pine straw, trim hedges, and remove trash to create an inviting space before Holy Week begins. There will be donuts for breakfast!
