We realize that many of you now rely on eRISEN soley to promote your events and appreciate your patience.
Peace,
Jessica Gates

The All Saints' Memorial Church September 11th Scholarship
This annual scholarship was established by All Saints' Memorial Church as a response to the events of September 11, 2001.
Thousands of people had their lives shattered by the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. The effects will be felt throughout the world for years to come. Such a tragedy should never again occur, and the parishioners of All Saints' Memorial Church, like all people of conscience, must work to make certain that it does not. Since our parish also feels it must minister to the wider community, it has established a scholarship to accomplish both purposes.
Each year the church will award a scholarship of $500.00 to a graduating high school senior. Any student who is a parishioner of an Episcopal congregation in the Diocese of Rhode Island may apply. Applicants for this scholarship must plan to attend and be accepted in a college or university for the following academic year.
If you have internet access and Microsoft Word, the application can be downloaded from our website at www.allsaintsmemorial.com. You can also request an application by calling the parish office at 751-1747. Applications are due by April 1, 2007
