Hey Friends

I have some surprising news: I’ve never seen the Harry Potter movies or read the books! I know this might shock some of you, but I’m excited to share that I’ve officially watched the first Harry Potter movie! Last week, we hosted a magical Harry Potter night, transforming Ellis Hall into The Great Hall from the film. A huge thank you to all our fantastic volunteers who made the evening so enchanting. Let’s also give a big round of applause to the children’s choir for their wonderful performance! It was heartwarming to see the joy that filled the church that night. People of all ages came together to celebrate something special—some were experiencing it for the first time, while others had been coming for years. Wizards and spells are fun, but the real takeaway from the night was the sense of community. While I may not consider myself a member of the Harry Potter community, I am proud to be part of the All Saints' community. The happiness and joy that fill this night every year are contagious. If you’re not a fan of Harry Potter, I still encourage you to attend next year. The atmosphere created will put a smile on your face and get you into the spirit of Halloween!

Youth News

Youth Group will be back on the block in attic this Sunday 11/03. It is a very busy day at All Saints so we are saving all the fun of Malibu for a future outing!

Youth Vestry

The Youth Vestry is a leadership council of ten youth that casts a vision for the youth program and for the youth’s engagement with the broader parish. The vestry includes one representative from each component of the youth program (morning formation, SNL, acolytes, and other worship leaders, a member of the social media guild) and from each grade level (9th-12th plus an “at large” member).The vestry meets once a semester (fall, spring, and summer) for a pre-scheduled Zoom meeting to discuss the state of the youth program and envision what’s next. They may be called upon at times throughout the program year to meet for a brief Zoom call to discuss a particular matter.

This application will close the END of OCTOBER

Covent Thanksgiving Dinner 11/26

We are excited to invite your organization to join us for Covenant Community, Inc.’s 29th Annual Men of Hope Thanksgiving Dinner, a cherished event that has been serving over 400 meals annually to Atlanta’s unhoused community for nearly 30 years. This year’s dinner will take place on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, at Ellis Hall. This event is more than just a meal—it is an opportunity to connect individuals in need with essential services. It is also a great way to earn service hours if you are looking for some. The day will feature a dignified, table-served Thanksgiving dinner will be served from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM.
