Thank you very much, your Altar Guild.
COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS:
Aging Well: Compassionate Care is hosting an information session: Staying Mentally Alert and Physically Active, at 9 AM on Sunday, January 18th, at All Saints, 704 S. Latah Street. Ann R. will share some simple tips, tricks and valuable information that will help those of us that are aging get a jump on improving mental acuity and staying active and safe. Grab a cup of coffee and come join us!
9 AM Classes: On February 1st, 8th, and 15th between services at 9 am in the parish hall join us to make Anglican Prayer Beads (Anglican Rosary). Find out about their origin history, symbolism of each bead, how to use them, and some prayers. Supplies for making your own rosary and a few pre-made ones will be available. Donations would be welcomed, but are not mandatory. Contact Penny Sites for information.
Paradise Point Camp: All Saints Camp Scholarship applications must be turned into the office by the end of April. Families should first register with Paradise Point Camp on the camp website (https://www.paradisepointcamp.org/). The camp also offers scholarships, and we encourage everyone to apply for those as well during the registration process, and some of those scholarships will be awarded during the registration process. After registering, please submit a copy of your registration confirmation to the All Saints office along with this application. It is our policy to meet the remaining cost of camp (cost of camp minus camp-administered scholarships and deposits) to ensure that everyone can go to camp; if you want to apply for only a partial scholarship, please note that on this application.
BOISE BENCH & BEYOND:
Scouting America: On Tuesday, January 27th, Scouting America Family Troop 123 is having a Family Information Night in the All Saints parish hall. We are inviting families of 11- 18 year olds (boys and girls) to learn all about Troop 123, our program year, calendar of events, and how Scouting can help your family. Fun, games, and a dessert will be offered.
