Stewardship Update:
Aloha All Saints' 'Ohana,
With last Sunday's amazing and spirit-filled All Saints' Day celebration, we have officially launched our year-long stewardship campaign "We are made to Thrive!"
We want to take a moment to share with the congregation an update on the "financial stewardship" portion of the campaign as we gather our 2016 pledges. Mahalo to everyone who has already made a 2016 pledge to support the mission and ministries of the Church! As of All Saints' Sunday:
- We have received 27 pledges. Our goal is 80 pledges for 2016.
- We are happy to report that four of those pledges came from families new to the All Saints' 'Ohana.
- The total amount pledged (YTD) for 2016 is $66,284. Our 2016 pledge amount goal is $250,000.
- We are excited to share that 12 individuals/families of the 23 returning pledges have pledged to increase their offering in 2016.
 If you have not had an opportunity to fill out your pledge card and/or you need a little more time to discern your 2016 pledge, you have plenty of time to return your 2016 pledge card. Ideally, we are asking our 'Ohana to return their pledge cards by November 25, to help facilitate the finalization of the 2016 budget process. If you did not receive a pledge card, need another, or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Church office by phone (808) 822-4267 or by e-mail. Also, if you were unable to attend the All Saints' Day service, we encourage you to listen to the All Saints' Day sermon, "We are Made to Thrive", which is available on the Stewardship webpage under "Campaign Resources" and on the Sermon Archive webpage.
In closing, we share with you the Stewardship Prayer for this year's campaign:
God of abundance, your love flows like living water filling our hearts and flooding our souls with one desire to know you and make you known. We lift your name on high. We know we are made for so much more than ordinary lives. Empower us to more than just survive because we are made to Thrive! Amen.
Mahalo nui loa,
The Reverend Ryan D. Newman
Rector
Bill Caldwell
Stewardship Chair

The annual All Saints' Holiday Craft Fair & Silent Auction will be taking place on Saturday, December 5, from 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM.

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.
