Summer Film Festival Continues With Potluck on the Patio & Sleepless in Seattle
|
This Wednesday, July 8, join us a potluck on the patio. All are invited to bring a dish to share. After dinner, we'll watch Sleepless in Seattle. After the death of his wife, Sam Baldwin moves to Seattle with his son Jonah. When Jonah calls into a talk show radio program to find a new wife for his father, Sam grudgingly gets on the line to discuss his feelings. Annie Reed, a reporter in Baltimore, hears Sam speak and falls for him, even though she is engaged to be married. Unsure where it will lead, she write Sam a letter asking him to meet her at the Empire State Building on Valentine's Day. Don't miss this Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan classic!

Save the Date & Plan to Serve:
July 25 M-4 Half Day of Service
|
 The M-4 (Montecito 4) Churches are pleased to announce the summer service project - providing backpacks stuffed with critical supplies for school success to local children in need. These children are living in People's Self Help Housing communities and rely on these learning tools. Together with the other M-4 Churches, our goal is to provide backpacks and supplies to 310 children.
On Saturday, July 25 Montecito Covenant will host our M-4 day of service from 10am-Noon where we will stuff the backpacks. Volunteers are needed for this day and donations are greatly needed, as each church as been asked to raise $3,500 for this project. A donation of $45 will give one child a backpack and the majority of supplies needed to have a successful start to the school year. Please consider giving the gift of a backpack or two to help a child in need have the tools to succeed in school. Please note "M-4 Backpack Project" in the memo of your check and drop it in the Offertory plate or send it to the Church Office.

All Saints Book Table will be open during the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month during the summer after each worship service.
 All Saints will launch Recycled Reading Treats on July 13 to support our campus ministries.

Think "Library Book Sale." If a book sparks your interest, donate whatever you feel is in your price range. Our Recycled Reading Treats will be available on the second and fourth Sundays of the month during Coffee Hour after each service. Please consider donating to this church program by bringing your books to the church patio after services or during the week to the church office beginning June 8.
