Greetings!

BREAKFAST WITH BISHOP CHANG,

THIS SUNDAY, AUGUST 26!

Be sure to attend a special breakfast gathering in church this Sunday, August 26, at 8:00 am, and listen to pearls of wisdom from Bishop Chang. For those that are not familiar with Bishop Chang's "history", he served as Rector at All Saints' back in the '70s, and was later called to be Bishop of Hawai'i during an extremely tenuous time. The Diocese was facing financial hardship, and the future of the Episcopal Church in Hawai'i was uncertain. Under Bishop Chang's leadership, the Diocese returned to stable footing and flourished. Times may be different today, but the foundations of our faith remain unchanged. Come and listen to Bishop Chang, whose words may help us as we continue to discern the future of All Saints'.

Upcoming Clergy

All Saints' is in good hands with the many wonderful clergy filling in while we go through a transitional period without a permanent rector.

Clergy for upcoming Sundays are as follows:

September 9 &16 - Rev. Gaylord Hitchcock

September 23 & 30 - Rev. Bob Walden

October 7 & 14 - Rev. Dan Leatherman

We give thanks and praise for these clergy who fly over to spend their Sundays with our All Saints' ohana, and look forward to welcoming them!

Safeguarding God's Children & Sexual Misconduct Prevention Training on Kaua'i

Attention all Vestry members & those working with children

Two mandatory trainings for all Vestry members have been scheduled to take place on Kaua'i this Fall.

Safeguarding God's Children Training will be held at St. John's in Eleele on Saturday, September 29, from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm. In addition to Vestry members, all persons working with children must also attend the Safeguarding God's Children training, and includes nursery and Sunday school volunteers, youth workers and preschool teachers. If you have already attended a Safeguarding training class, you must still renew annually, and can do so through an online class. If you provided your e-mail address at the initial training, you should receive an e-mail with a reminder and instructions for renewal. If it has been over a year and you have not received notification, please contact Lani Kaaihue at 800-522-8418, ext. 309. For all others that have not yet attended a class, click HERE to register for this upcoming session.

The second training is Sexual Misconduct Prevention Training which is required of all clergy, staff, and Vestry members. This class will be held on Saturday, October 20, at St. Michael's in Lihue, from 8:30 am - 1:00 pm. To register, please click HERE.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

It's that time of year when members regroup after the summer break, and prepare for "Kick-Off" Sunday, following the Labor Day weekend. The choir returns, as does the Sunday school, and all areas of ministry are seeking volunteers. At the moment, we are looking for the following:
