Changes in Junior Warden Role
Aloha All Saints' 'Ohana,
Bill Caldwell, All Saints' Junior Warden, will be on the mainland for two months to receive medical treatment and to be present for the birth of his second grandchild. He has decided to a take a leave of absence serving as the Junior Warden, but will continue to serve on the Vestry.
 At the July Vestry meeting this week, the Vestry unanimously elected Linda Crocker to serve as the acting Junior Warden. I want to thank Bill Caldwell for his amazing leadership, service, and guidance. I ask the All Saints' 'Ohana to keep Bill in your prayers, especially for prayers of healing, as he prepares to travel to New York to seek medical treatment. We pray also for Laurel, Bill and CeCe's daughter, who is expecting her second child later this fall. Finally, I want to thank Linda for her willingness to step into the role of Junior Warden. She assumes the role with our prayers and support.
Faithfully,
The Rev. Ryan D. Newman

Volunteer Sign Up Sheets at Sunday Services!
If you'd like to volunteer for Laundry Love Kauai that takes place every first and third Wednesdays of the month, sign-up in the Laundry Love Manual that will be on the entrance table during Sunday services. Folks can sign up to volunteer for specific dates and roles on the volunteer sign-up sheets, and also peruse the operating instructions that contain the responsibilities for each role.
A few volunteers have already decided which roles they like best, and others are still trying out different areas. Even if all roles are taken on a specific date you are interested in helping at, please show up and help as a Love Ambassador. (There is no limit to the number of Love Ambassadors at any session.) These are our all-around workers who not only interact with patrons, but are key to the smooth flow of the operation, transferring laundry from one area to another. Love Ambassadors are especially needed to help with folding and bagging when a load is done.
All are welcome to take part in this rewarding outreach ministry. For more information, visit the LLK webpage 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.

DODGEBALL ROCKS!
Fr. Ryan captured this shot of Keiki Referee Grace Yatsko, on the first day of the 10th Annual Fun in Fellowship Dodgeball Tournament. Keiki referees must stand in the net cage to assist keiki players and often find themselves dodging balls! The tournament took place on July 24 & 25, in the All Saintsʻ Gym. |

WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING AT ALL SAINTS':

Crocker Named Kauai Hospice Employee of the Year
By Fr. Ryan Newman
David Crocker is a regular and selfless presence on the All Saints' campus fixing things and helping others. When David is not on the Church campus, he is often working on a church member's car or cleaning up the beach at Lydgate. However, it turns out that All Saints' is not the only 'ohana that benefits from David's generosity and service. Recently, David was named the 2014-2015 Kauai Hospice Volunteer of the Year. The Summer 2015 Kauai Hospice Newsletter had this to say about David:
"When asked if he has availability for a service or task, he is known for always saying 'Okay' and that means he will and does find a way to get the job done. There are a litany of jobs he has assisted with including the following: patient companionship, caregiver respite, running errands, moving furniture to make room for hospital beds, building a wheelchair ramp, caring for the hospice 'pond', walking a patient's dog and the list goes on and on. In fact, in his quiet and loyal way David has faithfully agreed to virtually anything and everything asked of him."
All Saints' definitely knows David's "okay" and commitment to getting the job done. Congratulations to David and thank you for all you do for All Saints' and Kauai Hospice!

After ten years, this was my final tournament as Director. It has been a privilege and joy to be able to serve our community and to see both children and adults grow up in the program not just physically, but personally, as the focus has always been on fun and sportsmanship over winning. Back in 2005, when one of our Sunday school children (Jannin Hashizume) suggested the activity, no one anticipated that it would end up bringing hundreds of people together for fun and fellowship every summer for ten years. It has also been the largest and longest running community outreach program funded and wholly run by the church.
But this event would never exist without the dozens of volunteers that turn out each year (and yes, many with twisted arms) to serve as officials. Although there are too many to name individually, I especially want to thank Faith Shiramizu, who has served as Co-chair in the early years, and officially returned this year as Co-chair (although sheʻs ALWAYS done what she does)! She has been instrumental in rounding up volunteers and helping this program get off the ground. I could never imagine a tournament without her by my side. In the process, Faithʻs husband Curtis discovered a new calling (well, at least once a year) as an announcer and play-by-play sportscaster!
Finally I want to thank the youth who have been my inspiration and motivation to run this program, and especially to my son Shane, who urged me on each year to continue dodgeball. Through 9 of the 10 seasons (this summer he was interning on Oʻahu), he was with me at every practice to help set up, break down, lug and fill up coolers, run practices, stay at the gym past midnight on many occasions, and put up with a tired mom and lots of fast food.
