MINISTRY MEMOS:
Recharge Day: This year, we are doing our spring cleaning on SATURDAY, MAY 10th, and we really need your help! Please bring any spare gloves, rakes, shovels, electric tools, and cleaning supplies that you may have. Lunch will be provided – please sign up in the narthex, parish hall, or email the office so that we have a head count.
Green Team: Spring is springing and now’s the time to get signed up for summer mowing! You can pay to have it done, we have a riding mower, a push mower, or we can probably find a sickle for you! It’s your choice! Here’s the sign-up for you (please designate who is mowing in the My Comment section): https://allsaintsboise.org/worship-and-community/sign-ups/. For those wanting to pay, please deliver your check made out to Rex Sayer for $90.00 to the office.
COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS:
Getting Your House in Order: Give the gift of your final wishes by pre-planning your funeral and get important documents completed. The last of our three sessions will be held Wednesday, May 14th, from 6:30 – 7:45 PM in the parish hall. Session Three: Let’s Get Organized, Guest Speakers, Rev. Nancy Koonce, Ron Gambassi, & Janet Hasson.
3rd Annual Car Show: Our annual car show will be May 17th from 10-2! Free for spectators – there will be five food trucks, activities for kids (& kids-at-heart), and a Touch-a-Truck event at noon with our local first responders. You can vote for your favorite vehicle and you can even win a new truck! Funds raised by the participants will go towards beautifying our grounds.
Social Justice Collections: For the month of May we are collecting diapers for the Idaho Diaper bank. Donations can also be made in the form of checks to All Saints with “diaper bank” on the memo line. We are also collecting new men’s and women’s underwear for the Interfaith Sanctuary. Again checks may be made out to All Saints with Interfaith Sanctuary on the memo line.
