Tie-Dye Sunday (9 June 2013)

Every year at All Souls, the Sunday before Father’s Day is Tie-Dye Sunday!  This is a fun way to make special gifts for Dads and other special grown-ups in the lives of our children.

TieDye

Children and youth need to bring a 100% cotton t-shirt or other fabric item (pre-washed is better).  You may bring more than one item to dye but we will need to make sure that all supplies are shared adequately.  Adults and older youth who “know the drill” will be there to walk the children through the process.

Although we do have old t-shirts available as cover-ups, we heartily recommend dressing your children in old clothes and shoes for this project.  The dyes we use are strong and permanent.

Potluck This Sunday After Church (21 April 2013)

Whether you cook or bake your specialty, or slave over a hot takeout counter, bring a dish to share and stay for a meal and some time together with your All Souls community.

Help needed with Set-Up and Clean-Up
Much of our regular potluck crew will be busy with other obligations this week, so it’s a great time for some new faces helping out in the social hall.  If you can help set up, please come around 10:30 AM.

Also, those who work the Highland Dinner have learned how quickly the cleanup goes when everyone helps so be sure to stick around for the Big Finish.
