MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR

The Bishop is coming! The Bishop is coming! 

While it’s not as alarming (or scary) as when Paul Revere announced the Red Coats, having the Bishop calls for preparation and celebration. The Right Rev. Carrie Schofield-Broadbent will be with us on Sunday, September 13, at both services. This is a happy surprise for us, as we were not expecting a visit from her in 2026. However, an opening developed in her calendar, and she asked if she could visit. The answer? Absolutely!

We have a great many things to share with Bishop Carrie, including the renovated rectory, the Holy Cow Survey results, our growing Sunday School, and more. 

Besides showing the Bishop all that we are doing, this is an opportunity to present ourselves for her confirmation, reception, or reaffirmation of our baptismal vows. Let’s think about the definitions of each:

Confirmation is for those who were baptized in the Episcopal Church and who want to make a mature public commitment to Christ, reaffirm their baptismal vows, and receive the laying on of hands by a bishop. The Book of Common Prayer says:



In the course of their Christian development, those baptized at an early 

age are expected, when they are ready and have been duly prepared, to 

make a mature public affirmation of their faith and commitment to the 

responsibilities of their Baptism and to receive the laying on of hands by 

the bishop.

Those baptized as adults, unless baptized with laying on of hands by a 

bishop, are also expected to make a public affirmation of their faith 

and commitment to the responsibilities of their Baptism in the presence 

of a bishop and to receive the laying on of hands. (page 476)

Reception is for those who were baptized and confirmed in a different denomination, and who want to be formally received into the Episcopal Church.

Reaffirmation is for those who have been baptized and confirmed and want to reaffirm their faith publicly, with the bishop.

Preparing for Confirmation or Reception requires some education. Please be in touch with me by Wednesday, August 6, if you are interested in either rite. Based on your availability, I will put together a class for us to prepare for the Bishop’s visit. The Bishop is coming! The Bishop is coming! Let us rejoice and be glad!

Peace, 

Virginia

July Baptism - Wyatt Wright!

Some moments simply make you smile! Two weeks ago, our parish gathered around the baptismal font to celebrate new life in Christ. From joyful smiles to tender moments (and yes...a well-loved stuffed animal who was there for every step!), it was a beautiful reminder that God's love welcomes each of us just as we are. Please keep this little guy and his family in your prayers as they begin this new chapter of faith.

VESTRY AND LEADERSHIP NEWS

Southern Maryland Pride: Are You In?



The Southern Maryland Pride Festival is Sunday, October 11. All Saints has been very involved with this celebration in the past. This year we will be partnering with the other parishes in the area to have a larger Episcopal presence there. First, we need to figure out who from All Saints would like to participate. Virginia will hold an organizing meeting on Thursday, August 13 at 7 p.m. on Zoom. Please use this link:

STEWARDSHIP AND FINANCE

Church Finance Update 

We are now halfway through the budget year, and we want to give you a financial update. The good news: We have taken in more in pledges than expected for this point in the year. However, we have not taken in as much as we expected in “plate,” meaning the Sunday offering that was not pledged. Other income is doing well and we are pleased to report that the Calvert Arts Festival (CAF) made 50% more than we budgeted. 

In terms of expense, we are significantly over budget in two areas: utilities (from our very cold winter) and work on the property. This has been an expensive year for the campus: we’ve had to replace a furnace in the Church, work on pest remediation in the Parish Hall and Rectory, and we’ve done a great deal of renewal work in the Rectory. To cover some of these costs, the Planned Giving Committee recommended that we move $100,000 of the Mann gift into the Building Fund. 

Outreach is another area of focus. Our outreach breakfasts and the CAF income, we are well positioned to continue our 10% tithe to community organizations and those in need. Representatives from the Episcopal Church Women, Finance Committee, Outreach Committee and Planned Giving are working with Vestry to review a new process for gathering information prior to making giving decisions. Our goal is to understand who most needs funding, and to identify opportunities to work with organizations through volunteer presence, awareness building and financial support. 

Since February we implemented a reimbursement and check request form that is going well. We are also starting a process for an internal audit, and revitalizing the counter ministry. Counters are the folks who record and help prepare the deposit after the Sunday services. If you would like to be involved in either the Audit Committee or the Counters, please speak with Steve Watson or Ken McKenzie. 

We want to Acknowledge You!

We work hard to record all gifts given to the parish. If you have not pledged, but would like to give funds to the church, you have a number of options to do so. You can use the envelopes in the pews to put cash in the plate. Please note your name and contact info on the envelope, so we can acknowledge you. You may also give through Easy Tithe at https://allsaints1692.org/support-us/

SUNDAY SCHOOL AND NURSERY

Children & Families at All Saints

We love having children in our worship services! For families who prefer it, we provide a consistent nursery attendant each Sunday to offer a safe, welcoming space for our youngest members. Whether your little ones stay with you in the pews or visit the nursery, please know they are a cherished part of our parish family.



As we look toward the fall, we are always open to ideas for youth engagement. If you have a heart for our children’s ministry, please reach out to the office.

Don’t Rush Off... Join us after the late service in the Heritage Room. Let’s enjoy some fellowship and snacks together!

PARISH FAMILY LIFE

An afternoon of good food, great conversations, new friendships, old friends, laughter, games, and plenty of smiles—our Parish Cookout was a wonderful reminder that church is more than a place we worship. It's a family we share life with. Thank you to the chefs and everyone who joined us and helped make the day special! ❤️

Episcopal Church Women (ECW) Updates.

Our next ECW meeting will be in August on the 15th welcome back!

The women’s breakfast is tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m. at Dreamweaver. Order what you like at the register and join us in the back where we have a reserved table.

We hope you’ll join us for informal fellowship.

New Coffee Hour Sign-Up Process! Want to share your kitchen talents with our community? We’ve updated our coffee hour sign-up process to make it easier for new faces to get involved. Hosting is a wonderful way to enjoy fellowship and serve our church family. Look for the new sign-up notebooks located at the back of the church and directly at the coffee hour table.

Join the ECW Community



All parish women are welcome to join us in our mission and our events to serve the parish and community. Whether you can attend our monthly meetings (held on the third Saturday of the month at 9 a.m. in the upstairs parish hall) or not, we invite you to get involved. Contact Jill Dowell at (443) 610-5294 to find an ECW mission that meets your passion!

ECW Publicity Coordinator Needed

What you’ll be doing…

Working with the Connections Commission, explore various means of promoting the ECW mission through internal parish communication and media releases, community calendars, exhibits, and displays.

Work with Connections Commission to arrange for advertising (social media and community news outlets) for community events, as approved by the ECW.

Prepare a short blurb or pictures about an ECW activity in each monthly newsletter. 

Create flyers for special ECW events. Emphasize that every event offers an opportunity for visibility for the group and the church.

Encourage ECW members and volunteers to take pictures at their stations and throughout events to be included in social media, newsletters and other promotions.

Share a Recipe. Share the Love!

The Episcopal Church Women are excited to begin collecting recipes for the new edition of the All Saints Cookbook—and we hope you'll be part of it!

Every family has those favorite recipes that everyone asks for—the casserole that disappears at every potluck, the famous dessert, Grandma’s cookies, the perfect soup, or the dish that’s always on your holiday table. We’d love to include those favorites in our new cookbook.

Whether your recipe has been in your family for generations or is a brand-new favorite, we’d love to receive it.

Please email your recipes to as1692ecw@gmail.com by October 1 so they can be included in the cookbook, which will be printed and offered for sale at the All Saints Christmas Market.

Start looking through those recipe boxes, cookbooks, and handwritten cards—we can’t wait to see what delicious favorites our parish family has to share!

OUTREACH, MISSIONS and VOLUNTEERING

Outreach Newsflash - Our August Mission Focus: HeartF.E.L.T. Backpacks

All Saints became a HeartF.E.L.T. partner in 2014, and since then we have provided hundreds of meals for children who qualify for school meals but would otherwise go hungry on weekends and school holidays. The last half of this national program’s name

stands for “feeding empty little tummies”; the first half is self-explanatory. We’ve been providing meals for children every week of every school year ever since.

All Saints has earned the distinction of being the only local HeartF.E.L.T. organization that maintained its food program throughout the COVID era, working with school officials to continue food distribution using special, safe arrangements, ensuring that families would receive food without a break, even when the schools were closed.

The Parish provides teams of volunteers who pack the food in backpacks at our Parish Hall at a time convenient to the team and then deliver the packs to Beach Elementary School by noon Thursday, where they are distributed through the school counselor’s office by means that protect the children’s privacy. The food itself is purchased in quantity by All Saints volunteers using Outreach funds or donated to the program by parishioners.

Teams usually consist of families or pairs of friends who become part of a calendar

schedule that shares the load throughout the year. Training is provided, as well as

guidance materials that help ensure appropriate quantities and balanced meals for the children.

How can you help?

- Join or form a HeartFELT team.

- Donate backpacks.

- Donate funds designated for HeartFELT using the offering plate or Easy Tithe.

- Donate specified food items. A list is available at this link: HeartFELT Suggestions

Breaking HeartF.E.L.T. NEWS: Starting in August, we will be holding “drive-by” food

donation opportunities, with advertised times when you can drive up to the brick walk

that joins the campus driveway from the Parish Hall, and volunteers will unload your food donations and see that they are stored for use by the HeartF.E.L.T. teams. Watch your weekly Parish Newsletters for details.

If you would like to be a HeartFELT volunteer or would like more information, you may call Patti At Lee, Outreach Chair, at 202 669-5594 or leave a message at the Parish office.

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink.” — Matthew 25:35

Southern Maryland Spaghetti Dinner



Did you know that all of the Episcopal parishes in Southern Maryland gather quarterly for dinner and discussion about our ministry? We are hosting the other parishes on Friday, August 14 at 6 p.m. If you’re interested in helping to prepare spaghetti and salad in the All Saints kitchen, please let the office know. We will also need help setting up the room and decorating a bit. It would be great to have a greeter who can help fill out name tags and someone to help play with young ones.

Most importantly, though, JOIN US. Bring salad, bread, or a dessert. We will see you there!

Northern Calvert Little Free Pantry

It’s crazy hot out there! The pantry could use water, empty water bottles, Gatorade, juice, and shelf-stable milk. Everyone needs to stay hydrated! Tuna takeover in the pantry annex. While Tuna is great, diversity is key! Let’s get some other protein options available that are easy to grab and go, like Spam, canned chicken, canned seafood, canned hams, and, of course, nuts, beans, chickpeas, lentils, protein bars, and protein powder. Thanks to all who are keeping the pantry filled.

Thanks to everyone for bringing books. It’s also the time to leave small summer toys and items that might be needed, like sunscreen and bug spray!



Thanks to all for keeping the pantry running and helping our Calvert community!

DID YOU KNOW?

What’s in a Name?

If someone asked you why our church is called “Episcopal,” would you know the answer? Most of us use the name every day without giving it a second thought. The story behind it, though, is a fascinating piece of American history.

The word Episcopal comes from the Greek episkopos, meaning overseer — which is where we get the word bishop. An Episcopal church is simply one governed by bishops. So at its most basic level, we are “the church led by bishops.”

But why did American Anglicans choose that name after the Revolution?

Before independence, churches in the colonies operated under the Church of England — which meant swearing allegiance to the British Crown. For obvious reasons, that became deeply problematic after 1776. American Anglicans needed a fresh identity that preserved their theological tradition and apostolic structure while making clear they were no longer under English authority.

The name Episcopal was the perfect solution. It described the church’s governance — bishop-led, rooted in apostolic succession — without any reference to England or the Crown. It was theologically accurate, historically grounded, and entirely American.

When those nine founding dioceses gathered in Philadelphia in 1789 — including Maryland — they formally adopted the name The Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America. (Yes, “Protestant” was part of the official name until 1967, when the shorter, more familiar form was adopted.)

So the next time someone asks what makes us Episcopal, you can tell them: it means we trace an unbroken line of bishops all the way back to the early church — and we did it on our own American terms.

Updating the Prayer List

Did you know that we maintain a prayer list that we include in the Newsletter and in the Wednesday Healing Service? We are currently updating the list. We will keep the person on the prayer list for 12 weeks (or longer, if you request). For those who are in mourning, we keep the family on the prayer list for six months. You will probably recognize many names on the list. Unless explicitly instructed to do so, we will not disclose why someone is on the list. Please trust that God knows why the person needs prayer, and our job is to lift the person up to God and to offer love.

If you would like to add someone to the prayer list, please contact the church office.

If you would like to add someone to the prayer list, please contact the church office.
