This is it... the week for which we have all been waiting and preparing. It is Holy Week throughout the Church, and right here at All Saints. More than any other period of time in the year, it is this week which defines us, and shapes us, and informs us as Christians. It is the entire story of Christian salvation history, all rolled up into a one-week timeframe.
We invite you to enter in to this great drama throughout the week, as we explore not only all of the events of Jesus' final week, but also the ways in which those events continue to move us, and inspire us, and change us.
Father Bob
Interim Rector

| | The Outreach Golf Tournament Needs You! | |
Monday May 5
 More than 50 golfers have already signed up to take part in the Annual Jim Bower Community Outreach Golf Tournament, but we still need players: singles, doubles, threesomes, and foursomes are all invited and if you don't play, we still need volunteers for the day of the tournament, Monday, May 5 (no knowledge of golf is necessary.)
We are well on our way of meeting the matching grant of $12,500, generously given by the Bower Foundation. This grant means that your donation dollars go twice as far. Any size donation is welcome, so please consider donating to help us meet our target. Parishioners, family and friends of players can join us for the celebration after the tournament (4 p.m.) at the La Cumbre Country Club for $20. Please click here for more information on the tournament or contact Mary Rosenberger to sign up to play.
