Hi Friends!

Happy July! I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend celebrating and enjoying the company of friends and family.

I want to draw your attention to a few things as you begin to plan for fall.

1. Acolyte and Youth Lector Registration is open! If you plan to serve as either of these, please use the registration below so we can start to create teams and assign captains.
2. All high schoolers are encouraged to register and join us for our High School Fall Retreat at Camp Mikell in August--it is only a month and a half away so sign up below!
3. We are hosting a Keep/Watch Suicide Prevention Training on August 6th. This is open to everyone, including youth, so please consider attending this free training. Registration is below.
4. We are looking for Sunday School teachers for our 7th grade class and our high school class! If you are interested in being a mentor to some awesome youth, please reach out! You can share this role with friends, a spouse, etc. Additionally, if you have any recommendations for people you think would be awesome, let Hope know!

We are busy planning for an amazing year up in The Attic and I can't wait for all that is to come! See you all on Sunday!

Peace,

Hope

Acolyte and Youth Lectors

2023-2024 Registration

Are you interested in becoming an acolyte or youth lector? Are you already an acolyte or lector and are ready to keep serving and growing as a leader in the church? Then sign-up below! We will start assembling our acolyte teams in August so don't wait to sign-up!

Save The Date for Acolyte and Youth Lector Training on Saturday August 12th.

Join us on August 6th as we are joined by Holle Tubbs, Youth Missioner for The Diocese of Atlanta and co-author of "Keep/Watch: Suicide, Christ, and Community"

Keep/Watch is a learning tool for people of faith around suicide causes and prevention. This approach to suicide prevention is informed by Scripture, the Book of Common Prayer, statistical data, and evidence-based resources. The goal is to see all churches become “Keep/Watch congregations”: faith communities that are rooted in worship and welcoming to those who need a place to belong.

Please join us for this free training, with lunch provided, after the 10am service in Ellis Hall. Registration can be found below.

Keep/Watch is open to all ages who wish to participate and we welcome and encourage youth and their parents to attend.

PARENT CORNER

Formation Teachers Needed

for the 2023-2024 Year!

The statistic we always hear is that is takes at least 5 meaningful relationships with adults at church for youth to want to stay involved in church beyond high school. Are you ready to become one of those adults in the life of our youth?

We are looking for formation teachers, specifically in our high school room and 7th grade room, for the 2023-2024 year! Beginning in September, you would be committing to spending Sunday mornings teaching our youth (curriculum is provided) and building meaningful relationships with them throughout the formation year.

If you are interested, please reach out to Hope and we can chat more!

MIDDLE SCHOOL CORNER

Check back soon for fun things to come!

HIGH SCHOOL CORNER

High School Fall Retreat

August 18-20

All 9th-12th graders are invited to a weekend retreat at Camp Mikell where we will explore nature, enjoy fun activities, and spend time with each other before we begin the new formation year!

Our theme will explore the phrase "What Would Jesus Do?" (Hint: He Would Love First!) and how that plays into our lives ands the world around us.

It’s going to be an amazing weekend full of fun and relaxation!

We will depart from All Saints after school on Friday and will arrive back on Sunday afternoon.

Cost is $115 and includes travel, lodging, activities at Camp Mikell, and food

Summer Acolytes and Readers

Sign-Up Now!

It's officially time to sign-up for summer acolyte and reader slots! Like last summer, our acolyte schedule will be "schedule yourself" style so you can choose Sundays when you are in town. This puts the ownership on you, so please try and schedule yourself at least 2-3 times (but more if you can!) This ensures that our Sunday service runs smoothly and always has acolytes present. Reminder—we only have one service on Sunday mornings in the summer so your commitment would be during the 10am service.

Please look over your summer calendar and sign-up below to acolyte and read when you are available!
