That snap is back in the air and the evenings are getting longer. Time to start knitting again! Get underway on your holiday and Mitten Tree projects in the company of other ASEC women. This event is hosted by Lydia Carr, who will provide delicious snacks, cheerful music, and a printed selection of simple hat and scarf patterns. She has personally checked that they are idiot proof, so don't worry if you are a first-time or returning crafter! Please bring your own needles/hooks/yarn. If you need supplies, Lydia recommends stopping around the corner at Sifu at 5044 N Clark St (between Carmen and Winnemac, open until 7 PM most days). Lisa, the owner, gives very good advice on where to start and how to finish!

 

Thursday, September 29, 1525 West Carmen Avenue, Apt 1 

(between Clark and Ashland, some street parking available).

7 to 9 PM. Please RSVP to care@allsaintschicago.org and carr.lydia@gmail.com before Monday September 26.

Do you love Halloween as much as Polly and Clyde do? Want to help make this year's Fright Fest even more fun and spookier than last year?  The youth group has already stared planning for this year's Haunted Undercroft/Patio.  But Polly and Clyde need your help to come up with more games and decorations for the parish hall.   How about devil ducks from the black lagoon?  And someone is going to need help to build the maze out of cardboard boxes for Frankenstein's lair. We will of course have the witches back to tell oh so mysterious fortunes again.  The Fright Fest is scheduled for the week-end of the 29th along with the Sunday Celebration of Day of the Dead and All Saints' Day.  You can help a little or a lot - just talk to Polly Tangora or Clyde Propst or email polly@allsaintschicago.org.

Help "Connect People with Possibilities" by joining friends from across the Diocese for dinner, dancing, and fun on Friday, November 4th, at the 52nd Annual Episcopal Charities Ball at the Palmer House Hilton, Chicago.  This black-tie-optional gala will raise more than $60,000 for the Diocese's social outreach through Episcopal Charities and Community Services (ECCS).  Every year ECCS helps bring abundant life to thousands of women, men, and children through the work of its ministry partners and its own initiatives.  Tickets for the Episcopal Charities Ball are $250 per person.  Please make your reservation for the Ball through our parish representative: The Rev. Bonnie A. Perry, bonnie@allsaintschicago.org or 773-561-011, or Anne Sawkiw at ECCS: (312) 751-6721 or sawkiw@eccsonline.net or www.eccsonline.net.

Are you in your 20's/30's, and interested in worship? All Saints is participating in a project with three other progressive Protestant churches on the northside. Participants will share a meal, then, over the course of three months, visit each of the other churches with the aim of exploring why these churches are flourishing and attracting young adults. The project will conclude with a conference and final dinner next spring. If you're interested or have questions, contact Jack Clark at jack@allsaintschicago.org.
