A New Way For
YOU to Help
Would you like to help out with Saints' Brew,
but you're not able to take a morning shift?
Can you cook a breakfast casserole?
...Then you can help out!
We're making
Monday mornings our "Parishioners'' Potluck" day, giving all
parishioners a chance to contribute in a tangible way to this ministry.
Just prepare a hot breakfast, something along the lines of what you
would bring to Summer Brunch. Be creative.
Make enough to feed 30 (one large casserole...two quiches...) with
something on the side (biscuits, toast, grits, hashbrowns, sausage...)
and bring it to the kitchen by 7:15 a.m. Monday morning, hot. Or leave
it in the Saints' Brew fridge Sunday night (nothing frozen, please...the
dish should require re-heating only).
If you plan on leaving the meal please
contact Kaye Cannon.
There will be a sign-up sheet at the back of the church, or you can call Kaye Cannon, or
e-mail her
to sign up.
Or...
Donate money to
Saints' Brew to help us cover expenses.
You can put your check in the offering plate payable to All Saints' (with
Saints' Brew in the Memo portion).
Or...
Donate Food other than
Parishioners' Potluck We can Always use more
frozen sausage-cheese biscuits, frozen waffles, syrup, butter, canned sausage
gravy, pre-packaged snack foods, and large quantities (at least 30 servings) of
fruit of any kind.
If You Have Any
Questions... Call or
Email Kaye Cannon
A Note from Jo Orr about Saints'
Brew...
Many of you may or may not know the
impact that the Saints’ Brew ministry is having in the life of All
Saints’ and how it can be affected by your service. Are you aware
that when it started we had two brave souls coming for breakfast? On
Thursday, July 31, 63 people were served. That broke our previous
record. We gave thanks that we could provide a nourishing meal to so
many.
In his sermon
on August 3rd, Father Gene Asbury related a wonderful story about
three clergymen fishing. The first two stepped out of the boat and
walked on water to shore. The third stepped out and sank. The humor
of the story came when the first two asked each other if they should
have shown the third where the rocks were. Father Gene went on to
say that at least they all “got out of the boat!”.
As a musically
educated person, I easily relate to “getting out of the boat” and
following God’s call to service through the hymn “I Can Hear My
Savior Calling.” I feel God calling us to serve through Saints’
Brew. I see All Saints’ members ministering to individuals on a
daily basis, not just at breakfast, but tending to their physical
and emotional needs. We had at least one child from our ministry
participating in Vacation Bible School. I think of Paulette who
comes to several church functions during the week. Most recently,
Tamelyn and her boys ranging from second grade to tenth grade have
been attending worship, breakfast and helping with clean up on
Saints’ Brew days.
On Aug. 3 we
also sang two hymns that spoke of God’s leading us further in this
important ministry. The second verse of “Decatur Place” states,
“This is the Lord’s house, home of all his people, school for the
faithful, refuge for the sinner, rest for the pilgrim, haven for the
weary; all find a welcome.” So what’s the punch line? We need your
time and resources. We serve from 30 to 65 people five days a week.
The cost of breakfast has gone up like all food prices. Please say
“thank you” to Kip Tigrett, one of our business owners, for the
generous food donations of his company.
It costs around
$60 per day to feed that many souls. Won’t you step up and remember
Saints’ Brew with your memorial gifts, honoraria and gifts of food?
Also, you can volunteer your time from 7:00 to 9:10 a.m. whenever
possible. Call Kaye Cannon to sign up. Your help is needed.

AMERICAN FRIENDS MIDDLE-EAST MISSIONS
The American Friends, a non-profit,
non-political ministry was founded in 1989 by Bishop Peter Lee of
Virginia and then-Bishop Samir Kafity of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem.
It supports work in
two major hospitals, several schools, 29 parishes, and 35 service
organizations in a diocese that
covers 121,000 square miles—nearly three times the size of Mississippi.
Since 1996, American Friends has donated more than $20 million of free
medical, school, and infant supplies to the Diocese of Jerusalem and has
helped in educating 140 deaf children in Jordan.
At its annual meeting in January, this Episcopal ministry set a goal of
$200,000 for grants this year for projects in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan,
Jerusalem, and areas under the governing Palestinian National Authority. The
money, which is now being sought from individuals, parishes, and dioceses,
will support emergency medical and
food programs, aid literacy campaigns, student scholarships, youth
ministries, and peace programs among children. In addition, funds will be
directed to a school for developmentally delayed children in Beirut,
Lebanon.
The Rev. Charles Cloughen, Jr. of Towson, MD, is the current president and
chair of American Friends. Cloughen said, “We are
building an atmosphere of
peace and reconciliation in the midst of despair and violence.
Our gifts help to keep the Episcopal Church alive in the Holy Land.” With
the help from American Friends, the Church is moving ahead in its ministry
in the Middle-East. The work of American Friends may also strengthen the
unity of the Church throughout the world.
If you wish to
contribute to American Friends,
please make your check payable to All Saints’
Episcopal Church
and mark it “American Friends.
