This Saturday

We have volunteers for all of our Habitat for Humanity catering needs except drinks so far. If anyone out there still wants to help we really need somebody to provide drinks. Cans of coke, juice boxes, gatorade, etc. for about 50. If you think you can only do half let me know, chances are two families will respond that way. If you can't bring them on Sunday you can drop them off on Thursday or Friday. Just let me know. Also, does anyone know where we can get some condiment packets of mayo and mustard. I went to Costco, but they didn't have them. If you can get them and bring them on Saturday that would be great.

If you are planning on coming on Saturday from 10AM-12PM be aware that there is Ga Tech game at noon, which means the All Saints Parking lot will be monitored. Just let the sexton know you are coming to an All Saints event and enter the parking lot from Ponce de Leon Ave. We need plenty of help both making sandwiches and watching the kids. It will be cool in the morning, but the playground will be open. Don't forget to bring snacks for your own family if you come.

Thursday night is the annual Woodall Lecture. I encourage you to come if you are able. This year's speaker is Serene Jones president of Union Theological Seminary. This is a free event and well worth the midweek effort.

This Sunday is Commitment Sunday (when financial pledges for 2011 are dedicated during the worship services) and Baptism Sunday. Please look out for new faces and families and I encourage you all to go up and congratulate the newly baptized at either the 9AM or 11:15AM service even if you don't know them.

Also if you haven't made your pledge for 2011 please consider making one before Sunday. You can do it online. If you have never pledged this is a great way to make a commitment to the parish community. Remember this is not a one time gift, but instead a discipline of giving to the church that you practice all year.

Have a wonderful rest of your week and I look forward to seeing many of you soon.
