John and Sudha are celebrating Children’s Day with Bright Beginnings. Students will perform dances, have sports competitions, and share a meal together.
Children care for the little ones
A morning walk!
Each month Outreach sends money to Bright Beginnings. These funds are used to purchase food and materials for the students. At the time the 2022 Outreach budget was approved there were 42 children attending Bright Beginnings. Now the number of students has risen to 63! John and Sudha are trying to “stretch” the funds, but this is difficult. Might it be possible for you to make a one-time or monthly donation to Outreach in India? Every little bit helps!
Any contribution you could make to Outreach in India via Tithe.ly or check would be used to purchase uniforms, food, and materials for Bright Beginnings. There is now a drop down line on Tithe.ly for Outreach in India. Checks may be written to All Saints’ Episcopal Church. In the memo line please write: “Outreach – Mission in India”.
Thank you to those who have already and are continuing to contribute! Your generosity is having a huge impact on the lives of children and their families.
We pray with John and Sudha every Saturday at 8:00 am. You are invited to join us on Zoom as we pray with and for John and Sudha.
If you would like to learn more about how to get involved, and to receive the Zoom link, please reach out to Angela Furlong, aiofeadamah@gmail.com or Linda Miller, at lindy205@verizon.net.

The Getting Ahead Program
All Saints is participating in the "Getting Ahead" Program by once again providing meals for the Investigators, Facilitators, Child Care providers and children. Getting Ahead Program helps low-income families move from dependency to self-sufficiency through education, self-assessment, and mentoring experience. The Investigators (participants) will take a look at their current situation and plan for the future all while building relationships, setting goals, and resources to "get ahead." This program serves our local community members who generally would be considered our "working poor." They are all very appreciative of the meals provided by All Saints'.
We now have openings for December and January. If you would like to volunteer to cook part or all of a meal, provide snacks or desserts, please contact Katy Ackland at kackland921@aol.com or Laura Hammond at lauralucia00@gmail.com.

Thank you for all you do to support our community!

“ We pray for peace. … We pray for a just peace.
We pray that the lives of innocents and the lives of any
human child of God will be spared.
We pray that our leaders will find a diplomatic way, a nonviolent way. “
