Dear All Saints' Parents and Families,
Here's what's coming up in the wonderful world of Children's Ministries...
This Sunday
Don't forget! It's Pajama Sunday!!

On Saturday night, we will "spring forward" for Daylight Saving Time, so children are invited to wear their pj’s or sweats to church on Sunday (honestly, it is a great excuse to not fight over getting dressed!) and bring lovies. We'll have a bagel breakfast and bedtime stories from the Bible during Children’s Church and then we will join our parents in the big church at the Peace. All children, ages Kindergarten and above are invited to dress down!

Also: don’t forget to bring a t-shirt or piece of clothing that we can use as “yarn” in our weaving for Lent.
Parenting with God Series Begins this Sunday

This Sunday, join fellow parents and me to share and learn no matter where you are on the parenting journey.

Our discussion will continue to be guided by the book, Bless This Mess by the Rev. Molly Baskette and Ellen O’Donnell, PhD. You might want to order a copy if you don't already have one.

Dates : Sundays, March 8, April 19, May 10, and May 17
Time : 10:20—11:05 a.m.
Location : Ross Room, 3rd Floor, Parish House
Next Sunday
The Hunger Walk is Sunday, March 15

Join our All Saints’ Team and walk to raise money for the Atlanta Food Bank and one of our core ministries, Midtown Assistance Center, whose clients also benefit from this walk. You can meet us here at church after the 11:15 a.m. service, walk over for lunch at the Varsity, and then we will head down to the Hunger Walk. Or, you can try to meet us down at the walk. 

Click here to register. Directions: (1) click “Register,” (2) select “Atlanta Community Food Bank” as your charity and then (3) select “All Saints” as your team.

If you cannot join us on the walk you can also donate here . 

Please let me (Kathy) know if you plan to meet us at the church or meet us at the walk.
What We're Learning
GROW Curriculum – K-3rd

A Series on Worship

When some people hear the word “worship,” they think of church buildings, or hymns, or special rituals. To some people, worship sounds pretty boring. But that’s not at all how God talks about worship! In the Bible, we discover that worship is so much bigger than what happens at church — and it’s definitely not boring. Worship is a party! And it’s a party we’re all invited to attend. In this series, kids will be invited to worship God both at church and at home as they learn that we can worship God through prayer, we can worship God by living for Him, we can worship God even during hard times, we can worship God out loud, and we’re all invited to Jesus’ party. 
 
At the start of each new series, you will see an overview posted on the bulletin board on the 2nd floor landing of the Pritchett Children's Center. Ask your kids each week what they talked about in class, read the lesson from the Bible with them, talk about different ways that you worship and let them see you in worship. Sing and dance to this Spotify playlist from GROW or create your own.
CLUB 45 (4th and 5th)

We are learning about Kings and Prophets for the next month. The CLUB 45 group has also been learning about each of our core ministries and spending some time doing service projects or being in relationship with the folks of the ministries.  Our next “Learn it and Live it” focus will be on Covenant Community on March 29.  One of our “Live it” pieces will be for each student and their family to pick a resident to pray for until Easter (and beyond!). You will get more information about this as we get closer.

We also will be having our first Lock-In for the Club 45’ers on March 27-28 . Specific details will be coming in an e-vite next week, but basically, we will be gathering on our floor, have dinner together, do an activity with our 6-8 grade youth (who are also having a lock –in that night), watch a movie, eat some snacks, and sleep in our space – girls on one end and boys on the other end. We will wake up early to go upstairs and have breakfast with the youth and then work until around noon in our space and around the church for a Saturday Service Day (you can join us in this part!). Please look for this e-vite next week.
