Admission to the concert is by free will offering; minimum suggested donation is $10. Please invite your friends and neighbors! A reception will follow in the Parish Hall. Please sign up to contribute an appetizer, cheese & crackers, or fruit.

CHRISTIAN FORMATION
Bible Study meets on Wednesdays at 10:15 am in the Rath House. We are reading and discussing the Gospel of Mark – this week, the second half of Chapter 10. We’d love to have you join us. Questions? Speak to Mother Vicki.

Our Narnia Book Club for families, kids, and adults is continuing this winter/spring. We’ll be reading “The Magician’s Nephew” from The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis starting February 24, with the first discussion after the 10 am service on March 3. Brochures with a reading schedule are on the book case in our Narnia Corner near the choir stalls. Copies of the book are available for $5, also on the Narnia book case.
And in the summer, our inter-generational Vacation Bible School will be Narnia-themed: Aslan On the Move (June 23-27, 6:00-8:30 pm).

FUNDRAISING
ShopRite Cards– everyone needs groceries! You may purchase ShopRite cards as a gift or for yourself on Sundays during Coffee House or at the parish office. You pay face value and 5% goes to All Saints’ ministries. Please speak to Barbara Barbeau.

PRAYER & A PARTY    
Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper on March 5, 5:30-7:30 pm. This year we’ll be inviting our Veteran friends and Seniors in our community, as well as parishioners. Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday – traditionally a time for using up all the butter/oil/sweets in the house – hence the pancakes! $5 per person/$20 maxmum per husehold/kids under age 3 are free. Sign up on the sheet in the Narthex so we know you are coming. And if you would like to help cook/set-up/serve, please also indicate that on the sign-up sheet.

Looking Ahead -- Sunday Night Supper: Chili Cook-Off & Game Night – March 31, 5 pm-7 pm in the Parish House Lower Room. Bring your best chili, cornbread, and favorite board game! For the whole family. A great time to have some fun and relaxation with your fellow parishioners. Sign up on the sheet in the Narthex and put it on your calendar...and bring a friend or neighbor!

Photos Welcome! Please help us by taking photos of parish events and Sunday services – with your camera phone or a regular digital camera, and then sharing the file with us. We use these photos for our website, Facebook page, and print communications. These pictures help us tell the story of All Saints’ in images. Questions? Speak to Parish Admin Susie Harris. And remember to check in at All Saints’ on Facebook and Instagram!

CHRISTIAN PRACTICES
Community – an important part of Christian faith is the understanding that we are all part of the Body of Christ. That means that no one believer is isolated or cut off from others. That is true on a spiritual level, but it is also true on a human, practical level. As we gather with our brothers and sisters in Christ in church, at coffee hour, in small groups or ministry teams, or at fellowship events, we offer strength and support to one another, as well as different perspectives and wisdom; we learn from each other. Participating in Christian community is an important part of our growth as disciples of Jesus, and of our witness to the world around us.

Blessings, Vicki+
