CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NEW LAY LEADERS!
Annual Meeting is Hopeful & Inspiring
 
Three standing ovations!  Have you ever been to an annual church meeting that had one standing ovation?  Well, for those that missed the annual meeting this past Sunday, there were three!!!

Fr. Ryan hit it out of the park at this year's annual meeting, bringing members to their feet. The Rector's Report was not only informative and clear, but hopeful and inspiring! With pledging way up, our future continues to look bright, and with Fr. Ryan leading the flock, All Saints' can look forward to some interesting and innovative new ideas.  A few of the highlights of his report included:
  • Establishing a new church plant on Saturday evenings to be held in Sloggett (to attract "seekers" and those not familiar or comfortable with traditional worship)
  • Expanding the school
  • New Bible formation opportunities
  • Evening office hours
  • Attention to Buildings & Grounds and capital improvements
  • Long term vision to establish senior housing
Also giving reports were Casey Nakamura for the Ke Akua Youth Group, and outgoing wardens, David Murray (Junior Warden) and Galen Nakamura (Senior Warden). Fr. Ryan acknowledged their years of dedicated service, commitment and sacrifice, which were especially crucial during our times of transition without a permanent rector. Both Galen and David have had to wear many hats to run the church, and agreed to stay on longer than they had planned to insure that All Saints' was in good hands!  Both of them garnered well-deserved second and third standing ovations! 
 
Outgoing Vestry members that were recognized for their dedicated service were Dustin Moises, Dianne Tabura and Janet Wilson. To everyone's delight, we soon learned that Janet Wilson had accepted the Senior Warden role and would be remaining on the Vestry. 
Bill Caldwell was elected Junior Warden, and our new Vestry members are Linda Crocker, Jean Nakamoto and Mary Margaret Smith, all serving 3-year terms.  Joining the Vestry this year, is youth representative, Mason Tabura, who will be serving a one-year term.
 
Our convention delegates are Cece Caldwell, Chris Neumann, Mary Schulz, and Curtis Shiramizu. David Murray and Mary Wilson offered to be alternates.
 
The meeting ended with a video that captured all the events and happenings in 2013, followed by a wonderful potluck in the gym.  (The video can be viewed on the All Saints Facebook page, and will be posted on the All Saints' website on Wednesday.)
 
MAHALO TO FR. RYAN, AND ALL OF OUR MEMBERS FOR THEIR SERVICE TO THE CHURCH!

Church Vision & Leadership Presentation
Friday, January 31
In partnership with the Episcopal Churches on Kaua'i and the Diocese of Hawai'i, a presentation on Church Vision and Leadership will be taking place at St. Michael's, on Friday, January 31. The event will begin with a fellowship hour at 5:30 pm, followed by the program from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm.   
Leading this presentation is the Rev. Bill Tully, church visionary and retired rector of St. Bartholomew's in New York City.

What's been happening...
PICTURE OF THE WEEK

Bishop Bob Fitzpatrick visited with the churches on Kaua'i this past week, and the children at All Saints' Preschool were treated to a history lesson about the Episcopal Church in Hawai'i.  He spoke of Queen Emma, and it must have made quite an impression, as one child was reported talking about Emma and her palace at home.  Thanks Bishop for taking the time to meet our precious ones and for also celebrating our healing service!  (Picture by Fr. Ryan Newman)
