THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS:
 
From the Rector:
 
As we move along into the busy season on Fall, I want to highlight again all the activities and events occurring this month.
 

• Shag lessons continue this Thursday at 6:30 pm.  A lot of fun for $5!
• Episcopal tailgating starts this Saturday.  We’ll begin setting up at 11:00 am.  Look for my red truck with both a PC and Episcopal flag in the section across from the stadium.
• Adult formation begins this Sunday at 9:30 am.  We’ll be studying the book of Ephesians.  Come join us!
• A Film & Theology event will be held this Sunday at 5:00 pm.  We’ll see “The Greatest Showman” (yes, it’s a musical 😊).  Popcorn and drinks will be provided.  Please bring a dish to share for supper after with discussion.
• The Blessing of the Animals will be Sunday, September 30th at 3:00 pm in honor of St. Francis of Assisi Day.  This will be a community event.  Please bring your leashed pets and tell your friends and neighbors.
