Youth Update: SNL, Attic Invasion, Rite 13, and more

Hi Friends!

Meditation, art, and this week walking the labyrinth--we are fully in the swing of our lenten series "exploring different ways to pray." Throughout these last few weeks, we have really taken a look at how prayer is not just something you do before bed or before meals--but that you can pray in so many different ways. Whether it is through yoga or exercise, meditation, art or dance, being in nature, playing or listening to music---we can pray through so many different mediums!

This week, we will be joined by a few All Saints' parishioners who will lead us through praying and walking the labyrinth. It is such a blessing that this group will be sharing their passions around the labyrinth with our youth and I hope you will join us Sunday evening for this portion of our series!

As always, I hope you have had a wonderful week and I look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday!

Peace,

Hope

Attic Invasion

March 26th | 6-7:30pm

There's a leprechaun on the loose at All Saints! We don't know where he is hiding but we know he is somewhere on campus and we need the help of our middle schoolers to track him down! All we know is that he is tall, has long blonde hair, and likes to play hide and seek (I know I know it sounds a lot like Luke but we promise it's not!) Join us on March 24th from 7-9pm as we track him down and have lots of fun along the way!

Pizza dinner included.
