Baby supplies to be collected by Episcopal Church Women
There are families in our county that have encountered issues in their lives which have left them without a place to live. Sometimes over 200 families a week find themselves in this situation. The Shepherd’s Way coordinates a Community Based Shelter program in Broward County, which All Saints calls “Beds Around the Altar.” During the week, volunteer individuals or families prepare a meal and visit with the families each night. Other volunteers help with homework, read, play with the children and two chaperones spend the night to provide a reassuring and safe environment. These two volunteer opportunities are critical in helping the families be able to cope with each new day. It is comforting to them knowing there is loving support for them from a community in Christ.The next week that we will be hosting this wonderful opportunity of Christian outreach is the week of September 13. We are coordinating volunteers to bring evening meals and chaperones to be on-site overnight with the families. Each evening during September 13 - 17, we need an individual or group to feed the families about 5:30 p.m. and for two adults or a family to chaperone from about 7 p.m. until 7 a.m. in the church sanctuary. For more info or to volunteer for this wonderful opportunity of giving, contact Jeff Miller.
New Sunday School Schedule and Curriculum to start
Starting on Sunday September 12th we will begin our Sunday school year. The curriculum chosen is called Living Inside Out, which includes a themed adventure every month. Group's Living Inside Out™ Sunday school curriculum combines jump-and-shout large group energy with no-barriers small group relationship-building that challenge kids to live out their faith everyday, everywhere... in front of everyone! Through creative learning and fun we will engage with your child in the message of the Bible. Our first module for the month of September will focus on how we share our faith with each other through an adventure called Schooner Island.
We have made changes to our schedule to allow our children to experience both Sunday school and worship opportunities. Whether you child wishes to sit beside you during worship or participate in the liturgy as an acolyte or reader - the new schedule should accommodate that. See schedule below.
9:15 - 9:30 - Gathering time in the class
9:30 - 10:15 - Sunday school lesson
10:30 -11:30 - Holy Eucharist - note that at the Gospel hymn the children are invited to follow a small cross into Neaverson Chapel to attend a child friendly sermon led by one of our clergy. The children will be brought back into the service at the peace to join their families for the Eucharist.
Youth Group Outing planned to Dave and Busters
This event is open to all middle school and high school youth (All Saints, St. Ambrose, Centro). On Saturday, September 25, we will be going to Dave and Busters in Hollywood to participate in a scavenger hunt and some fun. The fun begins at noon. The purpose is to get to know each other and kickoff our new year. Please come and feel free to invite friends. We are asking the youth to bring $20 to help with the cost. If your youth needs a scholarship to attend then please contact our Youth and Families Ministry leader, Angela Cortinas, since we do not want to turn any one away.
We are starting up the neighborhood dinners again. This is an opportunity for all of us to come together for a potluck dinner at a parishoner’s house (generally try to alternate between north, south, central Broward) and enjoy each others company. Individuals can volunteer their space, All Saints takes care of everything else (plates, cups, etc.) and attendees bring food and spirits. If you are interested in volunteering your house please contact Odalys Delgado. Thanks”

Hurricane Survival Box raffle boosts TRUE Fund
We, Bill Nicholson and Doug Lorance, Matt Matejcic, and Dan Dailey are new members of All Saints Episcopal Church. After the 8 a.m. service, we were having coffee in the chapel and the topic of T.R.U.E. fund came up. Phyllis Barnes explained how the T.R.U.E. (Toward Relief of Urgent Emergencies) serves the community. She informed us that the fund, however, was out of money,
Our rector, Sherod, told us All Saints has never denied a request. Social workers call on All Saints for a request of $100.00 or less for needs of less fortunate people, who are trying to makes ends meet but need help. Funds go directly to the source; for example, CVS for prescriptions for a sick child, mechanics for brakes that need to be repaired to get to a job or FP & L for an electric bill that will prevent electricity from being turned off while caring for handicapped or elderly relatives at their home. This touched our hearts in such a way that we knew we had to help.

Volunteers are needed to cut grass at All Saints during the growing season!! If you can run a big mower on a Saturday during the following weekends: August 27 or Sept 10, 24 please contact Odalys Delgado. Thanks. (5-21)

All Saints ADULT FORUM: Living the Questions; An Introduction to Progressive Christianity
Every Sunday, from 9:15 to 10:15 a.m. in the River Room, the Rector leads the Adult Forum in a teaching series that introduces a progressive approach to understanding the Story of Salvation as contained in Holy Scripture. Progressive thought in regard to our faith is an exciting and liberating experience for many. “Living the Questions” is thought provoking and challenging as it calls us to truly live in our lives what we so freely proclaim with our lips. Everyone is invited to attend.
