Building and Grounds Work Day

Please join us this Saturday (9 June 2012) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM for our building and grounds work day

There are many ways to serve the church and to build community with other church members and friends as you serve.

One way is to come to a building and grounds work day.

Beyond the basic lawn service, all the work of our grounds is done by members and friends.

We have chores for all skill levels — even “0” skill level — inside and outside. And we always have a lot of fun. Sometimes,we have so much fun that we forget we are working!

Email Patrick Early to find out the plan for this session.

If you can’t stay and work, but want to show appreciation in the form of breakfast, snacks, or lunch for the workers, please let Patrick know that too.

“Saturday Gang” — June 2012 Volunteers of the Month

It has been said that some things are better when done with others and the “Saturday Gang” proves this. They are at most every Building and Grounds Day. They work hard and with enthusiasm. They appear to enjoy doing it. Who are the “Saturday Gang”?

They are the children and youth of All Souls in particular Grant, Gretchen, and Mason Upton plus Eleanora and Andrew Lawrence.

Their example is one that the Council would like to acknowledge so we recognize the “Saturday Gang” as our June 2012 Volunteers of the Month.

Exploratory Committee Appointed

The All Souls Board has appointed a 10-member committee to explore all options for the geographical future of our congregation.

On the heels of the recent erosion repair and the capital campaign that financed it, we have some time now to begin a thoughtful conversation on the issues of staying in our current location and preserving and adapting it to suit our mission or moving to another space that may serve us more effectively.
