Live by the Spirit: Six weeks in Galatians
At the beginning of Pentecost, All Saints' will host a six-part Bible Study and Sermon Series, "Live by the Spirit", based on Paul's Epistle to the Galatians.
Paul founded the Church at Galatia. His epistle (letter) to the congregation provides many important and helpful insights into the ways that Paul nurtured the growth and health of the congregation he knew well, and how he taught them, over time, about the daily life of faithfulness and discipleship.
Beginning on Tuesday, May 24, Father Ryan will facilitate a Bible study that will study the upcoming Sunday's reading from the Epistle. In addition, the group will consider the overall themes and
messages
of Paul's letter to the Church at Galatia. The group will also help to shape the sermon for Sunday. The Bible study will be hosted at the Rectory from 6:30PM - 7:30PM in a comfortable, informal setting.
We are asking individuals to sign-up for the Bible study and (ideally) commit to attending
all
six of the studies and Sundays in the series. The Bible study will have a 12 person limit. To sign-up, please either email
Fr. Ryan
or use the sign-up sheet that is located at the entrance of the Church starting this Sunday.

| HEAVENLY HIKES |

No Hike This Weekend
All Saints' Heavenly Hikes Ministry is taking April off--there is no hike this weekend. The next hike will be Sunday, May 29.
The goal of "Heavenly Hikes" is to foster fellowship, to support healthy bodies, minds, and spirits, and to appreciate our beautiful Garden Island that God has so richly blessed us with.
Each month (usually the last Sunday), members of All Saints' Church, friends, and guests/visitors explore together our spectacular island home. The hikes are designed to be family-friendly and are open to everyone including guests/visitors.

Presiding Bishop calls for prayer and unity
Presiding Bishop Michael Curry and Episcopalians from across the church called for prayer and solidarity with the Episcopal dioceses of Ecuador Litoral and Ecuador Central and the people of Ecuador who still are trying to assess the loss and damaged caused by a devastating earthquake that struck the South American nation Saturday, April 16.
"Please know that your brothers and sisters throughout the Episcopal Church are praying for you. We will be with you during this time and in the days ahead. You are not alone. May the love of God embrace and strengthen you," said Curry in an April 18 call to
prayer
for Ecuador.
