HEAVENLY HOSTS, HELP WANTED!

We need volunteers to help our funeral reception ministry, especially with the clean up and dish washing. We’ll gladly give you a tutorial on how to operate the miraculous Hobart dishwasher at a prearranged convenient time. As Madre Cynthia said about being a Heavenly Host, “This is such holy work.” 17th century monk, Brother Lawrence, would agree with her. His job at the monastery was washing the dishes, and a prayer attributed to him is “Lord of all pots and pans and things...make me a saint by getting meals or washing up the plates.”  To volunteer, contact Patti Woolery-Price (patt...@aol.com, 512.476.7643) 

MASTERSON LIBRARY REQUESTS CHILDREN’S BOOKS:

We are asking parishioners to help us build a small collection. If parents (or grandparents) have books their children enjoyed but have outgrown, and you’d like to find them a new home, please bring them to church and leave them on the window ledge with a note stating they are donations. We think our current crop of All Saints’ youngsters will appreciate your contribution, and so will we! —All Saints’ volunteer librarians, Patti Woolery-Price and Anne Province 

WOMAN TO WOMAN  is a released prisoner mentoring program of All Saints’. Our mission is to provide practical, emotional, and spiritual guidance, one woman at a time, to assist her in becoming self-sustaining with appropriate life skills to successfully achieve her goals. We will be adopting a new mentee this spring and are beginning to assemble our mentoring team. If you are interested in learning more and possibly joining the mentoring team, please contact Patti Woolery-Price (patt...@aol.com; 512.476.7643) or Jill Walker (jillwalk...@gmail.com; 512.294.1664) The date/time for an informational meeting for those interested in learning more about the ministry is forthcoming.

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS WEEKLY FOOD BANK PICK-UP & RECEIVING:

The City of Austin plans to close the alley behind University Presbyterian Church (where the Micah 6 food pantry is located) for 6 to 8 weeks in order to bury upgraded utilities. This means that the Central Texas Food Bank will be unable to deliver food to the pantry Thursday mornings. The food pantry has an immediate need for two volunteer groups: 

        • 2 drivers with pick up trucks to meet at the food bank Thursday mornings at 8:30 a.m., load the food purchased by Micah 6, and deliver it to UPC      

        • 2 to 3 volunteers to receive the food beginning at 9:00 a.m. Thursdays. This shift will last about an hour.

To sign up for either of these opportunities, for one or more Thursday shifts, go to http://signup.com/go/5npRE9
