Adult Faith Explorations Prayer Series Continues
Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola | |  TONIGHT at 7:30pm
Choir Area of the Church
We will explore prayer in the context of the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order, giving particular attention to his use of imaginative contemplation. Our time together will consist of a brief overview of traditional use of the exercises, followed by a prayerful reading and meditation on some of the contemplations. |
Conversation about All Saints' Proposed 2011 Budget
Sunday, January 30 between the 9 and 11am Services
In the Parish Hall
| | 
Join members of the finance committee and the vestry on Sunday, January 30 between the 9 and 11am services for a conversation about our proposed 2011 budget.
At the "Investing in our Future" event back in November and on the Sundays that followed, we had an opportunities to discern how we wanted to invest in All Saints' future. The finance committee has taken that information along with the financial pledge commitments we've made for 2011 and developed a proposed 2011 budget. We'll begin the work of
reviewing, commenting upon and perhaps amending it on January 30 and continue at our Annual Meeting on February 6. Copies of the draft budget will be available on Sunday or you can take a look at it now by clicking here.

 Every day of every week the doors of our church, All Saints' Episcopal Church, are open. They are open to countless people for worship, for outreach, for our community, for all of us. We come through the doors for different reasons. Some of us have found special meaning and relevance in our services, some of us want our children to be a part of a living and growing church school, and some of us have found our connection to social outreach.
We count on you to continue to grow in grace, spirituality, and community involvement. All of the above numbers start with one. One person making a pledge of his/her time and money. Read more...

On Friday, January 28,
Ravenswood School is hosting an Adult Dodgeball Tournament! | |  Will YOUR team be ready?
We're hoping to assemble 16 teams, 10 adult players each (5 men, 5 women), for one night of EXTREME fun--and fund raising--in support of Ravenswood School.
Don't miss your chance. Put a team together now!
Recruit your friends from work! I'm sure there is someone you've always secretly wanted to see get blasted with a dodgeball, right? Make sure they sign up.*
Convince your company, favorite bar, or favorite restaurant to sponsor your team. It's the least they could do, right?
Entry fees are tax-deductible! This means that you may be eligible for a tax write-off and get to live out your adult-dodgeball fantasies at the same time. (That's called a "Win-Win" proposition.)
The Details
When: Friday, January 28, 2011; 7:00pm tournament begins (team sign-in begins at 6:30pm)
Where: Ravenswood School gymnasium, 4332 N Paulina St., Chicago
Entry Fee: A tax-deductible donation of $300 per team (that's just $30/player...or, if you get a team sponsor, it could be FREE...for you anyway.)
Prizes: TBD and based on number of teams participating (As if you really need any more encouragement to participate, yes, prizes will be awarded to top winners.)
Uniforms and/or Costumes: Not required, but highly encouraged. Show team unity. Be creative!
How To Sign Up
Don't wait until the last minute! To sign up your team, contact Andy McSheffery at: 773.275.5197 or andymcshef@aol.com
* All players will be required to sign a waiver and release form to participate in the tournament. Please play nicely! We want everyone to have fun while supporting Ravenswood school. The dodgeball court is not the place to settle your personal differences or to work out your anger-management issues. (Save that for your next family reunion or employee picnic.) Thank you! |
