| SHROVE TUESDAY |
|
All you can eat pancakes!
All Saints' 3rd Annual Shrove Tuesday
'Ohana Pancake Supper is
February 28th at
6:00PM in the Rectory. All are invited to attend.
We invite you to a delicious supper of pancakes. There will be loads of bacon, egg dishes, fruits, desserts, and much more. Attendees are encouraged to bring a "breakfast" side dish."
Why a pancake supper the day before Ash Wednesday? With the season of Lent beginning the next day (Ash Wednesday), historically people tried to use up all of their rich and fatty foods like butter, eggs and milk. Also celebrated as Mardi Gras ("Fat Tuesday" in French), the celebration takes place in many parts of the world. It is a fun and festive way to enjoy those final sweets before we turn our hearts, minds, and stomachs to the penitent season of Lent.
An RSVP list is available at the entrance of the Church or email the Church office.

| PALM CROSSES |
|
Ashes to be made
Ashes used on Ash Wednesday are made from the burned palms from previous Palm Sunday services.
We are asking our 'Ohana to please bring in their old palm crosses to be used for the preparation of the ashes.
Crosses can be left in a basket on the table at the church entrance during the next two Sundays.

| WORSHIP MINISTRY |
|
 Upcoming training for acolytes
"Acolytes" were first mentioned in a letter from the pope written to the Bishop of Antioch dated in the year 251 A.D. (CE). At that time, acolytes were members of the clergy-ordained Church leaders-serving alongside bishops, priests, deacons and others.
Today, acolytes are lay (non-clergy) members of the Church. At All Saints' the Acolyte Ministry is open to all parishioners ages 8 and up (including adults). Acolytes fully participate in the liturgy (worship) of the Church. From the beginning to the end of the service, acolytes function as representatives of the 'Ohana at God's altar.
Becoming an acolyte is a great way to get involved at All Saints'!
Acolytes function in two ways: First, there are practical jobs that we "do" as part of our service: carrying a torch, cross, Gospel Book, sometimes a banner/flag; giving out and receiving alms basins; closing and opening the altar rail gate and shifting kneeling cushions as we prepare for communion; and helping the clergy ready the table for worship, among other things. Secondly, a
colytes
are living symbols of faith--they represent something much larger than ourselves. Serving and leading our 'Ohana in worship is an important ministry and should be undertaken reverently, faithfully, and joyously.
All Saints' will host acolyte training on Sunday, March 12th from 11:00AM-1:00PM. The time will serve as a chance for new children, youth, or adults to learn how to be an acolyte or crucifer as well as a refresher for those who already regularly serve.
Anyone age 8 and up is welcome to attend training and serve as an acolyte.

| LOOKING TOWARD LENT |

Families invited to participate in a colorful Lenten journey
Coloring! It's not just for kids anymore. Did you know that coloring can be a meditative/prayerful activity for the whole family?
This Lent,
All Saints' Children and Family Ministries wants to offer to All Saints' families an opportunity to experience centering prayer and dialogue through the art of meditative coloring. It is a wonderful and sacred activity for the whole family.
The project's goal is to
create a fun and safe space for families to talk about faith during this Lenten Season.
We have eight beautiful, blank posters from
Illustrated Children's Ministry that go through the Scriptural Way of the Cross, and we need your help to bring them to life!
We will use these posters for the Stations of the Cross service led by the Youth Group on Good Friday, April 14th.
Families will have the opportunity to take a poster home for a few days to color in a station as a centering, prayerful family practice. We will provide each family coloring supplies and a simple devotional guide containing
starting points for meditation/prayer and conversation. To participate in the project, please contact
Sierra
.
In addition, our larger All Saints' ʻOhana will also have the opportunity to color the posters during Aloha Hour after the 9:30AM services during Lent.
Whether young or young at heart, all are welcome to join this colorful Lenten journey.

| EPIPHANY SERMON SERIES |
|
Epiphany sermon series concludes this Sunday
Throughout Epiphany All Saints' is offering a sermon series entitled, "God Dwells In Us."
In this series, we explore Paul's belief that our faith is lived in community, which makes our relationships vital to our Christian lives-our relationships with God, our faith community, and the world beyond. Paul contends that if we embrace God's presence in our lives and allow ourselves to be shaped by Christ's love, our lives, our community, and the world are profoundly transformed.
The reading for this Sunday is 1 Corinthians 3:10-11, 16-23
10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building on it. Each builder must choose with care how to build on it.
11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one that has been laid; that foundation is Jesus Christ.
16 Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? 17 If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.
18 Do not deceive yourselves. If you think that you are wise in this age, you should become fools so that you may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their craftiness," 20 and again, "The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile."
21 So let no one boast about human leaders. For all things are yours,22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future-all belong to you, 23 and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.

| THIS WEEK IN SUNDAY SCHOOL |
|
|
Each week, The Epistle will highlight the upcoming Sunday School lesson from "Weaving God's Promises."
Matthew 13 is the foundation of the lesson. We are all invited to God's kingdom. Here, in Matthew, Jesus describes this kingdom in everyday images. Perhaps his disciples asked him what this kingdom is like. Perhaps they expressed discouragement that the coming of the Messiah in Jesus did not come about the way they expected, with universal acclaim and acceptance. Perhaps they wondered why more people do not hear the word of God and act on it. Jesus' stories tell us about the coming of the kingdom of heaven on earth and give us hope and encouragement about how the reign of God will come about.
It's very much a question of seeing God present and active in everyday life and ordinary things if we look at them with wonder. That is the Good News. God has come to us and dwells with us. God has come in Jesus, who shows us God's presence every day. Look around! God is with us and stays with us, no matter what!
We can see God's kingdom now if we look. Remember from the Beatitudes that the kingdom of heaven is here! It has already been inaugurated by Jesus' death and resurrection. It is God with us, who is Jesus himself. That is Good News!
