ECW Christmas Fair Tomorrow!
|
 ECW is preparing for the annual Christmas Fair tomorrow, November 17. One of the most popular features of this event is the table of baked items and other homemade goodies. We invite everyone to contribute to this favorite Holiday Feature. Contribute your signature holiday items and watch them disappear as our happy shoppers scoop them up for their own Thanksgiving tables. Donated items can be delivered Friday afternoon, November 16, or brought to the kitchen first thing (before 9:30AM) on Fair day.
Join the shoppers from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Lunch, which consists of a cup of soup and sandwich for $5.00, will be served from 11:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. The fair will have a book table with books sold that are presentable for Christmas gifts. The fair will have a red and green section that will have Christmas Decorations for sale. The fair will have a mini mall
for children. Children can purchase inexpensive Christmas gifts for their parents and grandparents. The fair will also feature a bake sale with the ECW's famous bean soup, a table for purchase of cutlery, raffle baskets, and Advent Wreaths may be ordered.

Spotlight On Our Saints: ECW
|
ECW is responsible for receptions and special events at our church. These events reflect impeccable planning, and ECW performs these tasks in an exemplary manner. ECW also makes a financial pledge to the church, and raise money for the pledge via the annual Christmas Fair.
ECW also is involved with community outreach thru financial assistance to Appalachian Teen Center, The Children's Center, Caregivers, and Life Ministries. ECW also coordinates the Outreach Luncheon at our church for nursing home residents. ECW is vital for our church, and
our church runs smoothly because ECW has its fingerprints on so much that happens at All Saints'.

Special Thanks
|
Special thanks to Ron Holley from the Altar Guild for building hangers in sacristy closet and adapting the aumbry. (Fun fact: an aumbry is "a cabinet in the wall of a Christian church or in the sacristy which was used to store chalices and other vessels, as well as for the reserved sacrament, the consecrated elements from the Eucharist." Thank you, Wikipedia!

All Saints'/First Congregational Youth Group
|
This year All Saints is partnering with the First Congregational Church of Wolfeboro in organizing a senior high youth group. The focus of the group will be a mission trip held this summer and preparation for doing this work. To raise funds for the trip, the young folk are making themselves available in work teams to rake leaves, helping folks with computer issues and learning and other such projects. If you need some help around your home with yard work, packing or unpacking or in learning how to use your computer or tablet, let us know what your need is and we will try to arrange a work team to assist you. Call us at 603.569.3453 or email us at allsaints@metrocast.net.

KYC Seeks Volunteers
|
The Kingswood Youth Center is looking for volunteers to come and be with the teens (ages 12-18) one afternoon a week from 2:30 - 5:00 pm. This is a great opportunity for retired folks...many of our volunteers are retired teachers and guidance counselors but no previous experience is necessary. Just being an adult who cares and listens is perfect. We do a background check once volunteers fill out the volunteer application. Please contact Sandy Bushman with any questions at 569-5949.
