While cast away, he forms an unexpected connection with another survivor: a fearsome Bengal tiger.

Here's the full schedule:
COFFEE HOUR IS BACK AND HOSTS ARE NEEDED
A simple coffee hour was held once again. However, we do need volunteers to help with set-up and clean-up.
Consider signing up to host a coffee hour...
the sign up sheet is posted on the board.
The main requirement is that portions be individually wrapped so that the food stays pristine.
THE BISHOP IS COMING!
Father Byrne has received notice that The Rt. Rev. R. William Franklin will be visiting All Saints on Sunday, April 3 at 10 a.m. Please mark your calendars!
Bishop Franklin is Assisting Bishop of LongIsland. He was Bishop of the Diocese of Western New York from 2011 – April 2019; and previously served at St. Mark's Church, Philadelphia; at St. Paul's Within the Walls in Rome, for five years; as Associate Director of the American Academy in Rome; and Associate Priest of the Anglican Centre in Rome.
Earlier, he served as Dean of Berkeley Divinity School at Yale, as a professor at the General Theological Seminary in New York and at St. John's University in Minnesota.
He holds a BA from Northwestern University and a Ph.D. in Church History from Harvard.
Bring your work gloves and rakes on Saturday, April 2, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. to help spruce up the outside of the church for Spring! There is some indoor work to be done too. For questions, reach out to Junior Warden Karen Friedl.
THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL...
...is not something we want to see. As your circumstances permit, please continue to bring food for the food pantry. Food insecurity continues to be a growing concern for many people right now.
Mother Karen shared with the Deanery clergy that demand at the food pantry is way up. All Saints has been a generous supplier, and hope we can continue to be.
Show your parish pride with “Church Merch,” “Sacred Swag” or whatever you call a great collection of custom T-shirts, drink-ware, and more available at the All Saints Shop! Visit via our website. Each item you buy helps to fund our mission and ministry.

Have a wonderful week!
