We are excited to report that progress on the kitchen remodel - a vital component of our Capital Campaign - steadily continues.

Our dedicated team of John Bollard, Ben Pratt and Ray Beaty are currently awaiting bids for the new fixtures and appliances. The kitchen remains usable, with the exception of the faucet in the island, which had to be removed to do pipe replacement. Once the bid process is complete, the next step will be preparing the floors, walls, plumbing, etc. for the new fixtures.

You may have noticed that a small utility sink and cabinetry were installed in the small hall. This is an interim measure to provide storage, water, electricity, and serving space to the anonymous groups to whom we rent space. Long-term, we think having a larger counter and overhead cabinetry in that location would serve both the anonymous groups and the Parish well, including providing serving space for the Breakfast Club. As such, we will ultimately have very simple custom cabinetry built that will match the tall cabinets in the small hall. This will be a simple, but consistent look with the rest of the hall and the benefits will be significant.

Thank you for your patience as we work through this process. As always, we are so deeply appreciative of your generosity and support of the Capital Campaign.

Interested in becoming a member of St. Thomas or in reinvigorating your knowledge of our faith and worship? It's time to start thinking about joining this year's Catechumen Class. This course, which meets every Saturday, beginning 29 August 2015 (save major holiday weekends) and running right up to the Great Easter Vigil, is required for anybody who wishes to be Baptized, Confirmed, or Received in the Church. It's also open to a limited number of current Parishioners who are interested in learning more and Reaffirming their commitment to Christ. Interested Parishioners should contact the Parish Office to schedule a meeting with Canon Davies in the coming weeks. Only 12 slots available!

On Saturday, 22 August, Parishioners who like to slide & swim are invited to join the guild at "Water Park Fun" from 11am to 4pm. Call Marty for details!

On Sunday, 23 August, the annual Ministry Fair will be held after the High Mass. Interested in becoming more involved in the Parish? Spend some time looking at options and talking to your fellow Parishioners about opportunities to volunteer a bit of your time.

On behalf of the All Saints' LGBT Ministry, and in celebration of the fact that this diocesan group name starts with Gathering LGBT Episcopalians... I would like to invite you all to a summer BBQ we are having at the rectory (506 N Camden Dr., 90210) on Sunday, August 30th from 2-5pm. If you are not burnt out from pride, it would be a great time to catch up and make new friends!

Proceeds help support the monthly brunches we throw at the LA LGBT Youth Drop-in Center. We have to cap the number of people, so please RSVP if you can.
