Communion Bread
In celebration of
Confirmation Sunday, and Mother’s Day on May 11th, and First
Communion Sunday on May 18th, our High School Youth and CDT students
have baked the communion bread for both weeks. What a great gift from our
youth!
Nursery Hours
During the 8:30 service the
nursery is available as a parent supervised cry room. For the 11:00 service
the nursery is staffed and available 10 minutes prior to service. We ask that you pick your child up within
10 minutes after service concludes. As
a courtesy to all families and volunteer workers, we ask that you refrain
from allowing children to bring food into the nursery. Exceptions are made for teacher and
attendant supervised snacks.
Many thanks…
Last
Saturday, we had 14 hard-working people come to church for the big clean-up
and chili cook-off event at All Saints. A lot of work got done, and a lot of
chili got eaten! Great fun was had by all.
THANKS TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED!

VBS Planning Meeting
This Wednesday, May 14th
at 5:45pm we will be exploring all of the fun that our Rainforest Adventure
Vacation Bible
School program will
have to offer this summer. We’re
going to be talking about kick-off activities plus working out the daily
snacks, craft and science projects.
If you would like to be involved in the preparations for Rainforest
Adventure 2008, please join us on Wednesday evening between 5:45-6:45pm. If you cannot attend, but are still
interested in being involved please contact Deb Curcuru at 810.632.7736 or
via e-mail to deb@curcurucpa.com.
Power And Light Meetings
We are planning a series of
meetings from June 1st through June 21st to talk about
our South Campus: South Lyon Power And Light. These meetings are meant to
give you an update on where we currently are with our outreach ministry, and
what our future plans are. The gatherings are also meant to give YOU the
opportunity to ask questions and even more important: share your ideas. Every
thought is welcome!
These meetings are
supposed to take place in a relaxed setting with a lot of fun, food and
fellowship: Let’s have some BBQ!........
But we need your help in
terms of people hosting these meetings. You can either host a meeting at your
place or - if this is not possible – at the church. Each meeting would be for
about 10 to 15 people on a Wednesday or Saturday evening or on a Sunday
afternoon. If you are willing to host
one of these gatherings or have further questions: please contact Pr. Pamela
or the church office.
Social
Concerns & Health Ministry News
The Social Concerns & Health Ministry Committee has
permission from the Council to purchase a defibrillator (AED) for All Saints.
Our group has met with “The AED Guy” who demonstrated several models. Because
we have the pre-school on site, we have decided to purchase one that can also
be used for children. The AED will be mounted on the wall outside the
Sanctuary, near the Library door, so that it will be highly visible and
easily accessible. It is to be used ONLY
by lay persons who have received training in CPR and AED use. If you are
CPR/AED certified, please call Carol Hinkle at 810.360-0809 or send an email
to chinkle923@yahoo.com. If you
would be willing to attend a 6 hour training to become CPR/AED certified,
also please let Carol know. She is arranging a training session to b e held
for All Saints in the near future. Welcome Team and Worship Team members, as
well as Pre-School staff are strongly encouraged to participate in this
training. The more people we have trained the better chance someone’s life
can be saved in an emergency. Keep your eyes open for the new defibrillator
which should be arriving soon.
Drink
Pouches, Foil-Type Cookie Wrappers,
and Kool-Aid Packets
What do these items have in common? Believe it or not –
there are companies out there that make purses out of these recycled items!
Little Saints has joined in a recycling program that “reuses” these items,
many of which you may purchase at home today. Please save these items and
bring them in. There is a green covered box in the hallway towards the
bathrooms that is labeled for collecting these items. If you drop them off
you can accomplish two important goals – taking care of the Earth that God
has entrusted to our care and raising money for Little Saints! (Yes, they pay
us to send in these items!) This is an on-going event so if you are on break
during the summer – bring them back!
Cash Back
Are you buying spring flowers at Colasanti’s? Our church
can get cash back. Save the receipts from Colasanti’s Produce and from VG’s
Markets so the church can earn a percentage of what you spend. Please put the
receipts into the clear plastic box on the window sill, near the bathrooms. Campbell’s labels can
also be stashed in the huge soup can located there. Thank you! – Kate
Phillips
Recycling
Our church would greatly appreciate it if you could bring
in all of your paper recycling – newspapers, magazines, ad circulars, junk
mail, school work, and office paper. We earn a regular monthly income when
you add these to the green bins in the parking lot, and save cubic yards of
landfill each month. Help us keep them full! Please don’t add any cardboard,
and be sure to bag shredded paper in paper or plastic. We thank you ever so
much! – Kate Phillips
