Church Workday this Saturday!
March 16, 8:00 am - 12:00 pm
It's the third Saturday of the month and that means it's time for a church workday! There's a lot on the list, but lots of hands make light work for everyone! Plans include organizing the gym kitchen, waxing the marquis, cleaning church windows, demolishing a cabinet in Memorial Hall, removing a bird's nest from the altar window, cleaning Sloggett screens and trash around the property. Come on down as we get the property in shape for Easter!

CONGRATULATIONS CASEY!
Nakamura Selected for EYE14 Planning Team
Before Casey Nakamura even left the Episcopal Youth Event (EYE) in the summer of 2011, she expressed her fervent desire to be a part of the design and planning team for 2014. Her prayers were answered this week! Out of the 70 youth that applied, Casey was one of 14 selected for this very important task that will take her traveling to several meetings on the mainland over the next 16 months. EYE14 is scheduled to take place in Pennsylvania in July 2014.
Every three years, EYE brings together hundreds of Episcopal youth from around the world including Haiti, South America and yes, Hawai'i. They worship and fellowship together, attend workshops and do mission work. The last event brought together over 1300 youth and adult leaders to Minnesota. All Saints' was fortunate to be able to send 7 youth with the Hawai'i delegation, and it turned out to be quite a transformative experience for them all. All Saints' members were treated to a special presentation upon their return, as they shared photos, reflections and the music that they learned!
We are so happy for Casey! Please keep her and the planning team in your prayers as they put together the next big event! She will be keeping up a blog on both the Diocese and All Saints' websites. To read the Episcopal Church's announcement, click HERE. (Casey is pictured above at far right with the rest of the All Saints' youth and Bishop Bob Fitzpatrick during EYE11.)

Experience Holy Week...
For Christians, Holy Week is the most important time of the year, as we prepare, worship and experience the Passion and celebrate our Risen Lord on Easter. This year, Rev. Mary will be introducing a new service for most of us. It is a Vigil Service being held Saturday evening at 7:00 pm. In many churches, this is the most important service of the liturgical year, and is the first celebration of Easter. Rev. Mary invites all to attend this most important service that will include an Easter fire. Refreshments to follow. |

CROSS PHOTOS ARE DUE THIS SUNDAY!!!
Have you taken a picture yet?
Some beautiful and creative photos are coming in, as this year's Easter art project continues.  It's not too late...although the deadline is this Sunday, March 17, you can still take photos after Sunday's service and e-mail it in. If you just can't get to it but really want to take part, just let Sybil know and special arrangements can be made. Utilizing our wooden Easter cross built by Steve Bauman, folks are asked to take a picture of it somewhere special to them -- where they feel close to God -- whether on property or at a favorite beach -- in their backyard or in the mountains. Feel free to Photoshop or embellish your photo, or leave it as is, then e-mail it to halelani@hawaiiantel.net. For best results, the higher the resolution the better. The pictures will be unveiled on Easter. Please also include a brief explanation about the picture and its location. A pamphlet will be made available at the church entrance explaining the pictures. Hurry on down and submit a photo!!! ______________________________________ |

Continuing Confirmation/Lenten Classes
Wednesdays at 5:45 pm
 Rev. Mary continues to lead Confirmation/Lenten classes through March. It is a great opportunity for all church members to take part in Christian education. Although the classes are designed to prepare candidates for confirmation, the material is of interest to everyone, and especially for those who may need a "refresher". Who are We? What does church membership mean? Why live a life of faith? These are just a few of the topics being covered.
The classes are held in the rectory living room from 5:45 - 7:30 p.m., on Wednesdays. Interested persons can attend any or all of the classes. For more information and to view the schedule of topics on the church website, click HERE. For more information, please contact Rev. Mary at 634-9343, or e-mail her.

Fifth Sunday in Lent
Almighty God, you alone can bring into order the unruly wills and affections of sinners: Grant your people grace to love what you command and desire what you promise; that, among the swift and varied changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God now and for ever. Amen.
