From the youth minister

​August greetings!
 
Family Fun Nights: Join us TONIGHT from 5:30-7:30pm at All Saints for our third Family Fun Night—Movie Night! We will gather in the Youth Room (across from Kemper Hall downstairs) to watch Finding Dory (PG) and eat pizza! If you can’t make this event, we have one more in two weeks (info below). Questions? Contact Erin at asygappleton@gmail.com.
 
August 21: End of Summer Party & Blessing of the Backpacks (North Lawn or Kemper Hall)
 
Confirmation & Reception: The preparation process to be Confirmed or Received into the Episcopal Church begins this week and will go through the end of October. Anyone who will be 16 and older within the 2019-2020 school year is eligible to participate. Bishop Matt Gunter will Confirm and Receive recommended candidates at his annual visitation to All Saints on Sunday, Nov. 3. Please contact Erin Wolf immediately if interested in participating.
 
Cool Drinks & Coloring: Join us during the Appleton Farmer’s Market! We’re in need of a couple of families and/or parishioners to help keep this outreach ministry running. The coloring & treats are usually set up from 9:00am-12:00pm (times are flexible depending on availability) on Saturday mornings. At this time, we’re hoping to have this continue through Saturday, September 14. Sign-up on the bulletin board by the server schedule.  
 
This outreach opportunity is a great way to greet people in our communities, and it’s a fairly simple way to talk with folks about All Saints. This is also a great way to talk about the upcoming revival in October with Presiding Bishop Michael Curry!
 
Aug. 18: There will be a Children’s Sermon during the 10:00am service.
 
Sept. 8: Sunday School and Youth Group gatherings resume. Parents should bring completed registration forms with to the Undercroft/Sunday School area as students ages 4-18 gather from 9:00-9:50am. Youth Group will meet in the Youth Room from 6:30-8:00pm.
