All Saints' Video: Year in Review Online

The annual Year in Review video that is usually shown at the Annual Meeting made a belated debut at the recent Shrove Tuesday gathering in the Rectory on February 17. The 20-minute video features highlights of the activities of All Saints and its members in chronological order from January through December, and is now available for viewing on the website HERE, or go directly to the VIMEO site HERE.

Worship Enhancements Available!

Dont' forget to ask for a headset or large-print service bulletin! 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.

PICTURE OF THE WEEK:

Palm Cross Making!

Members gathered together on Saturday morning to make palm crosses for Sunday's service. "Experts" were on hand to teach newbies the art of making the palm crosses with lots of fellowship being shared inbetween. Pictured above, coss-makers are shown with the results of their hard work!

EASTER DAY

O God, who for our redemption gave your only-begotten
Son to the death of the cross, and by his glorious resurrection
delivered us from the power of our enemy: Grant us so to die
daily to sin, that we may evermore live with him in the joy of
his resurrection; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
now and for ever.

Amen.

WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING AT ALL SAINTS':

Acolyte Training & Refresher Class

On Sunday, March 22, Fr. Ryan held an acolyte training/refresher class for both current and new acolytes. Three new acolytes were trained and members will get to see the new faces during Holy Week. New acolytes are Cecelia Caldwell, Joshua Rego and Tyler Tanaka. A couple of new procedures were put into place by Fr. Ryan, which will help the flow of the service. Veteran acolytes also learned a lot of technical information that was very helpful in understanding this very important role that they play in the worship service. Pictured above left, Fr. Ryan shows Joshua what to do when the priest washes his hands. At right, all three trainees walk up the aisle to take their places for the Gospel reading.

Futsal Tournament is a Hit!

On Saturday, March 28, All Saints' held its second futsal tournament in the gym. Despite the last minute push to put the tournament on in a little over 3 weeks, over 30 teams signed up with some being turned away because of full brackets. Last year's tournament featured 3 age groups, but just 10 days before this year's tournament, requests for younger divisions were made. A U10 and U12 were added to make 5 divisions, and both filled up with 8 teams each, plus a waitlist.

Futsal is a form of indoor soccer that requires great ball handling skill and quickness. Because of the confined area and boundaries, control and accuracy is crucial. Tournament organizer, Sybil Nishioka, was surprised at the turnout and enthusiasm that both youth and adults have for this sport. Futsal at All Saints' initially started in 2012, and with a grant from the Vidinha Trust for some equipment, friendly scrimmages in the gym were held periodically during the week. At that time, many of the Ke Akua Youth Group members were active soccer players, and took on the responsibility to promote and help run the practices. It was mostly to keep players in shape during the off-seasons of soccer, but when Sybil's son, Shane, returned from college for the summer in 2014, the idea of a tournament was born. Last year's tournament was the first of its kind on the island. With the success of that tournament, the Kalaheo program decided to put on a tournament a couple months later.

This year's tournament was not twice as big and action packed, but featured players as young as 8 years old with skills that are astounding! Youth group member Noah LaMadrid's U17 team took first place and the adult team that he and Shane were on captured a hard fought 2nd! They both served as the main referees for most of the tournament until their matches came up.

Youth group members that weren't playing ran a food booth to help raise funds for their mission trip in June. With only a skeleton crew available, Eryn ran the check-in table like a pro, and Raiden, Reis, Braden, Mason and Selena took care of the food booth and other duties. Many thanks to superwomen Nadine Nakamura and Janece Yatsko who slaved behind the scenes to make sure everything and everyone was taken care of, and to Fr. Ryan for the great sound system and his support.

Brad Celebrado, one of the coaches whose team came in 3rd in the U10 division this year, was grateful for the tournament and competition. "Everyone had an awesome time," said Celebrado in an e-mail, "The kids and coaches said it was a blast! My 9-year old didn't take off his 3rd place medal til shower time!"

With the popularity of soccer around the country, futsal is quickly joining the ranks. For most club teams on Kauai, the opportunity for competition can be a challenge as money has to be raised to travel. Local tournaments offer a great alternative for our athletes, and with responses like Celebrado's, perhaps futsal at All Saints' may have a bright future ahead! Next up---- our 10th Annual DODGEBALL TOURNAMENT!!! Stay tuned!
