Aloha All Saints' Community,

Mahalo to our 'Ohana for your beautiful, loving, and generous support of All Saints' with your pledges for 2015. We were also deeply blessed by your "Beautiful Images Offering."

The potluck and fellowship that followed the 9:30 AM service was fun! Both All Saints' Day services were beautiful celebrations of our Church 'Ohana and God's continued glory in our lives and the community.

If you have not had an opportunity to share your 2015 pledge card and/or "Beautiful Images Offering", please either return them to the Church office or simply place them with the Sunday offertory. The beautiful gifts of our members' financial stewardship enables our 'Ohana to live out our mission through the ministries of our Church.

We do hope all of our 'Ohana will participate in the joyous and faithful endeavor of pledging for 2015. If you have any questions or would welcome a visit/conversation from Fr. Ryan and/or Bill Caldwell (Stewardship Chair), please contact the Church Office at 822-4267.

Mahalo nui loa,
Fr. Ryan+

A Prayer for Our Veterans

On Tuesday, November 11th, our nation will honor and celebrate the brave men and women who have served our country. We thank all of our Veterans who have served and especially remember those men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Mahalo nui loa and God Bless America!

 

God of compassion, God of dignity and strength, watch over the veterans of the United States in recognition of their loyal service to our nation. Bless them with wholeness and love.Shelter them. Heal their wounds, comfort their hearts. Grant them peace. God of justice and truth, rock of our lives, bless our veterans, these men and women of courage and valor, with a deep and abiding understanding of our profound gratitude. Protect them and their families from loneliness and want. Grant them lives of joy and bounty. May their dedication and honor be remembered as a blessing from generation to generation. Blessed are You, protector and redeemer, our shield and our stronghold. Amen

FREE 'Aha Mele Concert Scheduled
Sunday, November 30, 2014
The second 'Aha Mele Concert has been set for Sunday, November 30, from 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM, in the Church. Once again, we are blessed to have talented musicians donate their time and energy to help raise awareness about our pipe organ that is need of serious repair. 

Alan Van Zee and Friends will be performing, and includes the Kauai Voices, led by Director Randy Leonard. Special guest musicians will feature vocalist Juno Apalla, Larry McCreery on the French Horn and Victoria Aiu on the Violin. 

This concert is free (although donations are being accepted) and will include a pupu reception on the lawn following the concert. Members are being asked to help by bringing a pupu to share at the reception.  For more information, visit the webpage HERE, or click on the poster shown to view a larger version.
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 most of the areas that have filled up but there are still 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.
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.

 Proper 27

 O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he might destroy the works of the devil and make us children of God
and heirs of eternal life: Grant that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves as he is pure; that, when he comes again with power and great glory, we may be made like him in his
eternal and glorious kingdom; where he lives and reigns with
you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING AT ALL SAINTS'?: 
ECW Outreach is Filled with Love!

The Episcopal Church Women (ECW) continues to spread their love and prayers to members and strangers in the community. In September, they prepared baskets for pregnant mothers for Hale Ho'omalu. The baskets were filled with all sorts of goodies including donated lotions, shampoo, diapers and lots of love! They were beautifully gift-wrapped and delivered to Dory Farias, pictured above right in black, with ECW member Lorna Nishi and a Hale Ho'omalu staff member.

Then in October, the women prepared their annual care packages for our students overseas. The packages featured a special student's prayer written by Mary Wilson, special treats and a gift card. A prayer was said for each of the students as the women prepared the packages. 

The women normally meet on the third Thursday of the month, and along with outreach projects, they bring in guest speakers, play games, learn a new craft and of course, fellowship over delicious snacks that they take turns bringing. All are welcome to come by (yes, including men)! If you'd like
to join or learn more about the ECW, visit the webpage
HERE. Mahalo to our angels of All Saints'!
Celebrating All Saints' Day!

It's OUR DAY!!! All Saints' members were in for a treat on All Saints' Day this past Sunday. A Festive Eucharist was held at both services, and along with the Ingathering of pledges, folks at the 9:30 service were treated to the music of Henry (Hank) Adam Curtis, a candidate for the Director of Music Ministries position. Following the second service, there was a potluck and games for everyone that included guessing games, Bingo, and yes, a dunk tank to "Dunk the Rector"... (see the "Picture of the Week" above) with a looooong line!  Lots laughter and food was shared!

Pictured at top, Tyler and Eryn try to dunk Fr. Ryan--- even Parish Administrator Chris Wataya gets ready to dunk her "boss"! Above, winners from the Bingo game and guessing games, Anna Yu, Fr. Ryan, Rev. Mary Tudela, Bill Caldwell, Robyn Putnam, Sybil Nishioka, Dianne Tabura, Joshua Rego, Mason Tabura and Fr. Ryan. Photos by Marge Akana.
Greetings from Janet Wilson!

Our former Senior Warden now turned Floridian, Janet Wilson, sends greetings and aloha from far away Florida! It's been a little over a month since her departure, and she is finally getting settled in.  
"I will be living in Celebration," says Janet, "a beautiful community planned by Walt Disney himself. I can walk into downtown Celebration where there are shops, restaurants, many parks and lots of recreation." She also enjoys working with a team of people, in stark contrast to her one-man show in Princeville for the past 8 years. "I miss my All Saints' family and pray for you all!" 

Pictured above is Janet with her 10-year service award she just received and at far right with Fr. Ryan on her last day at All Saints. God bless you Janet! We miss you too!!!
