Holiday Craft Fair Filling Up!
This year's Holiday Craft Fair on Saturday, December 6, promises to be our best yet with over 70 vendors and a wide variety of products! The early bird deadline of October 15 has passed, and early sign-ups broke all records!
At the moment, we have a wait list for some of the areas that have filled up including corner spots in the gym and covered tent. There are still a number of open lawn spaces available. Spaces do open up, especially as the date draws nearer and folks switch out or do not get their payments in, so if you haven't signed up yet, be sure to register and get on a wait list HERE. The craft fair, which is run by the Ke Akua Youth Group, will also be holding a Silent Auction to raise funds for 3 different charities. Last year, they raised over $900 for victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. This year, they are raising funds for The Red Cross, River of Life Mission (Honolulu) and the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life.
If you would like to donate to the Silent Auction, e-mail Sybil. For more information about the craft fair, visit the webpage HERE. |

November Saturday Market is Cancelled
All Saints' has long been the staging site for the annual Veteran's Day Parade, which usually falls on the second Saturday of November. For this reason, we will be cancelling November's Market. You can still sign up to participate in the December Market on December 13, and also the Ke Akua Youth Group's Annual Holiday Craft Fair on December 6. Space is still available for the craft fair, but different pricing applies. For more information, click HERE. |

Worship Enhancements Now Available!
 All Saints' now has portions of the service bulletin in large-size print to make reading along with the service easier for those who prefer it. There are also a few headsets available that will help folks hear the service more clearly, or for those in the back rows that might have a hard time understanding or hearing what is being said. Both items are available through our ushers who will be more than happy to set you up!
The nursery has also been hooked up so that the service can be heard through a speaker in that room. Parents with very young children can now sit and relax with them while they play, and are also able to hear the service.

reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for
ever. Amen.

WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING AT ALL SAINTS'?:

The 46th Annual Meeting of Convention
The annual Meeting of Convention for the Episcopal Diocese of Hawai'i took place on October 24 & 25, at The Cathedral of St. Andrew in Honolulu. Along with Fr. Ryan, All Saints' delegates (pictured below) were Chris Neumann, Mary Schulz, Cece Caldwell and Curtis Shiramizu.
The Convention featured guest speaker The Very Rev. Kevin Martin, who has held a number of workshops on congregational development around the Diocese, including All Saints' a few years ago. Bishop Fitzpatrick's Address spoke of the changes and transitions in store for the Diocese, and there was spirited discussion about the budget and a couple of resolutions.
The highlight of the Convention was a presentation by some of the youth delegates to the Episcopal Youth Event (EYE) this past summer. A modified version of the video shown at the All Saints' presentation was shown, and two of our youth, Mason Tabura and Grace Yatsko, along with 11 other youth, shared their experiences. Delegates were clearly touched and moved by the passion and candor of the youth. The video, that also includes a clip of Casey Nakamura at the very beginning, is available for viewing on Vimeo HERE, or on the Diocesan website.
Full coverage of the meeting will be coming out in a special edition E-Chronicle soon. In the meantime, you can view the Journal of the meeting and photos on the Diocesan webpage HERE. |
