This Saturday, December 5
The annual All Saints' Holiday Craft Fair & Silent Auction is here!!! Be sure to come on down this Saturday, December 5, from 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM. The fair, which is run by the Ke Akua Youth Group, is one of the largest craft fairs in Kapa'a, with over 70 booths featuring a variety of incredible crafts, art, clothes, toys, jewelry, quilts, gourmet items and much more, perfect for Christmas gift giving!
This is the youth group's biggest fundraiser of the year that helps fund their mission and outreach efforts. This year, the youth have chosen Laundry Love Kauai as their charity of choice for the Silent Auction, and with the help of the ECW, food booth proceeds will be going towards the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life event that takes place in April 2016.
So come on down, bring your appetites, get a lot of great shopping done and help support some worthy causes!

Saturday, December 12
Usher Orientation and Training Workshop
All Saints' will be holding an Usher Orientation and Training Workshop on Saturday, December 12, from 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM, for all current ushers and those interested in serving in this vital ministry. All ushers are urged to attend the workshop.
The ministry of welcome and connection is the lifeblood of growing our Church. Ushering is far more than handing out service programs and leis. When visitors arrive at All Saints' an usher is typically the first person to greet them. Ushers play an essential role in orienting visitors to All Saints', our worship services, our rich history and our beautiful island.
Ushers also support the worship experience and serve as an ambassador and liaison for the Vestry and Clergy on Sunday morning. Please consider this ministry. Anyone can be an usher and all are encouraged to attend the workshop. If you have any questions, please see Fr. Ryan or Mary Margaret Smith. |

Second Sunday of Advent
Merciful God, who sent your messengers the prophets to
preach repentance and prepare the way for our salvation:
Give us grace to heed their warnings and forsake our sins,

Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
