MINISTRY MEMOS:
Recharge Day: October 5th – Bishop Jos will be at All Saint’s on October 6. This clean-up includes inside, as well as, outside work. Some tasks can be done anytime during the week: weed the flower gardens, brush off spider webs on doors (the little fellows love our windows), vacuum narthex, church, & chapel, sweep hallways & bathrooms, and of course, dust! The Scouts are helping and after lunch need a group of people to help clean the parish hall and put on banquet table cloths. This will be about 1 PM and should take no more than an hour.
Coffee Hour Hosts: NEEDED! We supply the coffee, creamer, juice, & gluten-free items. Just a light treat (it is not lunch), fix the coffee, and a friendly smile are what is needed. Afterwards, wipe off the counter and empty the coffee pot, bring out trash. Contact the office for more information.
75th Anniversary: Our anniversary is coming up and we are celebrating on All Saints Day weekend (Nov 3rd)! It will be a 3 day event with many activities for your enjoyment. If you have any ideas to make it wonderful please contact Linda Stark, Anita Wallinger, or the office.
COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS:
Open Streets Boise: On Sunday, September 22, Latah Street will host a fantastic festival from 12-5 PM, and All Saints has an important role! For one, we’re sharing Rice Krispie Treats with our neighbors and with Monroe Elementary. Second, since Latah Street from Cassia to Morris Hill will be closed, our neighbors are invited to park in our parking lot so they can get in and out of the neighborhood. If you’re driving to church that day, avoid Latah since they’ll start blocking it off early.
CROP Hunger: The annual walk will be held on Oct 13th. This is a fundraising activity that benefits the Idaho Food Bank locally and the Church World Service globally. All Saints has participated in this activity for over 20 years. Contact Julie Walker if you would like to walk with her and/or solicit donations. If you would like to make a donation online, go to 2024 Crop Walk: in the upper right corner, select donate/find a participant & enter Julie Walker/donate.
Ronald McDonald House: Is anyone interested in making stuffed toys and/or cute pillowcases for Ronald McDonald house here in Boise? If so, contact Donna Groth after the Sunday 8:00 AM service or let the office know!
