Dear Friends,

Y'All Saints (Youth of All Saints') activities are gearing up into full swing this weekend, beginning with our first 6th-8th Grade Attic Invasion TONIGHT from 7:00 - 9:30 p.m., which will include a trip to The Varsity followed by action packed games in the Attic gym.

On Sunday morning we will kick off Attic Hour (Sunday School) at 10:20 a.m. with a Back to School Breakfast Bash where you will meet your leaders for the year and enjoy breakfast with fruit and donuts from Revolution Doughnuts. Simultaneously, all parents and adults are invited to Ellis Hall for an All Parish Forum: A Vision for Children and Youth, where members of the Children and Youth Task Force will join me in presenting our plans for further developing our programs with young people.

Sunday evening will see the first Youth Choir rehearsal of the year at 4:30 p.m., followed by our Sunday Night Live kickoff with dinner in the Attic from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. This is a great time to check out youth group or choir for the first time and to consider bringing a friend.

I hope to see you Sunday!
Peace,






The Rev. Zack Nyein
Associate Rector
