I am not sure if lions have ever been used as a metaphor for a stomach virus, but at our house the king of the jungle in the form of bathroom visits, loads of laundry, and saltines has been very noisy the last few days. Perhaps this means good health to our family for the rest of the month.
We have scheduled our next Little Saints Foyer Group get together for Saturday, May 7 from 10AM to 1PM. This will be the day before Baptisms and the baptism orientation will be occurring while we are meeting in the playground. This will be a great morning to meet some new families at All Saints.
I am also going to contact our THREADS coordinator and offer her a few volunteers for that morning. She usually opens up the shop on Saturday. I am not sure what she would need help with, but I am sure a few extra hands would be great. Please contact me, bluefrilingos@juno.com, if you would be interested in volunteering for THREADS that morning for a few hours. While you help, your children can play and be watched by other parents.
With the beginning of Lent and the following Easter season there are a lot of great opportunities at All Saints for families and every parishioner. The Women's Retreat (March 24-27) may still have a few spots if you are interested in a weekend of reflection and relaxation at St. George's Island, Florida. The Men's Retreat (April 30 - May 1) is being organized. It will be an overnight trip to Callaway Gardens with golfing and fishing opportunities and Trav Carter's renowned low country boil. If you (or your spouse) are interested in the Men's Retreat contact Jeb Brees at jebbrees@gmail.com so he can determine interest level in the trip.
Of course a lot is going on at All Saints from Shrove Tuesday, Ash Wednesday, to Holy Week. I will be sending a few more e-mails between now and Easter to let you know what is going on.
