A MESSAGE FROM THE SENIOR WARDEN
By Will Rydell
This past Sunday, All Saints was proud to welcome Bishop Dan for a visit. This was also the start of Fall choir season and a 90th birthday celebration for Marjorie Ross. With so much going on, there was an atmosphere of excitement during the service and at the reception in the Parish Hall after the service. Many people helped plan the party and spruced up our campus for the occasion. The results were spectacular! Thanks to everybody who helped pull it together. Now we are preparing for Octoberfest and the rest of the fall season. We are so lucky to be blessed with our group of wonderful people. May we continue to work together and have a wonderful fall season. In His Service, Will Rydell

NOTES FROM OUTREACH by Joan McClenahan
I had a request from the diocese to write about our affiliation with Gibson School. I was startled to learn from my own notes that our partnership goes back at least to 2005 and possibly even farther! That is 8 years! Amazing! That is probably literally a ton of school supplies you all have donated through the years! Give yourselves an All Saints pat on the back!!!
And speaking of donations to Gibson School: I delivered another vanful of donations to them this Monday morning! They were very grateful… many packpacks, boxes of paper, binders, pencils and other school supplies disappeared into the school, all carried in the hot desert sun by two of the middle school girls. The counselor Emelia Sandivol tells me that their school has hit over 1200 students this year! They continue to have problems with kids arriving needing showers, feminine hygiene products, etc. so toiletries are an ongoing need. Even snacks (healthy ones!) You may continue to bring school supplies a while longer, but the weatherman assures us that the mornings will start getting chillier and the need for sweatshirts will soon take over! Remember: sweatshirts need to be X or XL; unisex; and NO pictures or slogans or writing on them!
Looks like we will be working with our Crayola/scissors brigade on November 30 at the church (Dick Doyle: Get your crayons ready!) to get our snow people ready for the Christmas tree! Don’t know if we can manage without Gladys Patrick this year but we will try! The Christmas gifts will be distributed on the 13th and the 20th at the Food Pantry, the 13th being the day that All Saints will be in charge. As in the past you will need to get however many gifts you want for whatever ages of children you desire, buy your gift, return your unwrapped gift in a gift bag with wrapping separate, and place back under the tree the following week. More on this later! These gifts will be distributed to parents who come to the food pantry who cannot afford Christmas gifts for their little ones (and even their teens!).
We are losing volunteers at the food pantry and they are not being replaced! Please: if you have ever considered volunteering, now would be a good time! Just two hours: 10-12, on Fridays…once a month… that is all… even if you work, maybe you do shift work and are off in the mornings, we would love to have you help us! And some of you new retirees!
Much to do in the furthering of His kingdom… join us!
In His Name… Joan McClenahan, Outreach Chair: Cell: 702-595-7114; Home: 702-395-3856
