Wheel of Awesome: Summer Salons
CHILDCARE AVAILABLE | | 
Bring your lawnchair, open mind and heart, and longing to connect deeply with others. Wednesday evenings from 7-8:30 pm (June 29th-August 17th) on the northeast lawn of the church we will join in small groups to discuss spiritual topics of relevance to our lives. Each week we will spin the wheel to see where our discussion will land: "How does social networking impact our spiritual lives?" "Can we unplug and still connect?" "What REALLY counts as sin?" "Is a playful piety an oxymoron?" "What do the Bad Girls of the Bible have to say to us today?"
No Wheel of Fortune experience necessary to participate. No previous lawnchair theology required. No lawnchair required -- bring a blanket. Come, relax, make new friends, and enliven your faith this summer!
Childcare is available. If you want to know more,

Potluck Eucharist
Wednesday, August 31 at 6:30pm | |  Please join us as bring the Summer of Awesome to a close by sharing a Potluck Meal and a Eucharist together.
We'll gather much like we do on Maundy Thursday, around delicious food prepared by members of the All Saints' community. We'll sing together, eat together, spend some time talking about Scripture and share together in the Eucharist-- in Communion--in God's holy meal of thanksgiving.
We'll make the liturgy together.
We'll make a dish together
If you'd have some time to get together a little earlier in the day, the staff will be making a dish together to contribute to the gathering. Contact Beau Surratt at beau@allsaintschicago.org if you'd like to help cook.
Bring yourself, your family and friends, and a dish to share. The church staff will provide the rest.

| Chef Needed! | | 
Three times a year, Ravenswood Community Services (RCS) transforms its weekly Community Kitchen into the "All Saints' Cafe," an amazing fine dining experience for our hungry neighbors. More than 100 volunteers come together to plan, shop, decorate, cook and serve this remarkable meal inspired by Chicago's top restaurants.
The All Saints' Café team is looking for a volunteer chef to lend his/her talents to this fall's edition of the Café, tentatively scheduled for September 11 (the date is flexible, depending on chef availability). Volunteer chef duties include working with the volunteer team to establish a theme, develop a menu, write a shopping list and oversee prep and cooking the weekend of the café. Click here for more information about the volunteer chef position or contact Fran Holliday by email or at 773-769-0282.
