Message from the Bishop:
The Death of The Rev. Charles Crane
 Aloha, I received word yesterday evening that the Reverend Charles Tarleton Crane died on December 7th in Sedona, Arizona, where he was living in retirement. Charlie died of liver cancer at the age of 87 and just shy of the 58th anniversary of his ordination to the Priesthood (on December 23, 1957, in the Cathedral of St. Andrew, by Bishop Harry Kennedy). He served on the staff of the Cathedral from 1957 to 1959. He was Rector of All Saints Church, Kapaʻa, from 1959 to 1966. He then served as the Rector of the Church of the Holy Nativity, Aina Haina, from 1966 until his retirement in 1988. Services will be held on December 15, 2015, at Christ Lutheran (ELCA) Church, Sedona, Arizona.
He is survived by his wife of 4 years, Ms. Marilyn Snyder. Notes of condolence may be sent to her at 405 Jacks Canyon Rd, #204; Sedona, AZ 86351.
Almighty God, with whom still live the spirits of those who die in the Lord, and with whom the souls of the faithful are in joy and felicity: We give you heartfelt thanks for the good example of your servant, Charlie, who, having finished his course in faith, now finds rest and refreshment. May we, with all who have died in the true faith of your holy Name, have perfect fulfillment and bliss in your eternal and everlasting glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. +Bob
The Right Reverend Robert L. Fitzpatrick

This 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. |

"Pulpit Exchange":
Rev. Mary at All Saints' this Sunday, December 13
The Rev. Mary Tudela, who is currently serving as Interim Rector at St. Michael and All Angels, and Fr. Ryan, have organized a "pulpit exchange" during Advent 3. Rev. Mary will be the preacher and celebrant this Sunday at All Saints', and Fr. Ryan will be preaching and celebrating at St. Michael's and All Angels.
The goal of the pulpit exchange is to give both congregations a shared experience during the season of Advent hearing two different preaching voices on the implications of John the Baptist's ministry of preparing the way for our Lord and Savior. The Gospel readings for Advent 2 and Advent 3 have been combined and are being offered together on both Sundays. Collectively, these passages set the prophetic ministry of John the Baptist who preaches repentance to all those who hear his call to baptism, and tells them of the mighty one to come.
