***Could you help? Some of our All Saints family members need a ride to church. For a variety of reasons they do not drive themselves anymore. So we need two things. First, do you need a ride to church? Which service do you attend? Second, Can you offer to share a ride with a fellow chuch member who lives near you? Of course we will do our best to match up folks with an eye to convience and gas conservation. If this sounds like something you wish to participate in, you will find a sign-up clipboard in Smith Hall. ~ Carol Nathanson
 
On June 14th, eight members of All Saints' trekked to Camp Stevens in Julian, California to assist with the rebuilding of the camp in time for the summer camping season.  Our task was to prepare recently-rebuilt cabins to receive campers at the end of the month.  This translated into assembling bed frames and hauling mattresses.  The labor required much physical effort, but it was rewarding to leave knowing that one section of the camp is ready to go!  

The Bookstall, managed by Penny Ellien, is a ministry to the people of All Saints' (books to support spiritual development as well as organic, fair trade coffee & tea) whose proceeds go to support the mission of the Episcopal Church in the wider world. All proceeds from the Bookstall are sent to Episcopal Relief and Development.

In December 2007, Penny Ellien and Elaine Crabtree organized an Alternative Christmas Gift drive. Parishioners purchased gifts of mosquito nets, chickens, cows, and other agricultural developments in honor of loved ones, and people all over the world received the benefit through Episcopal Relief and Development.

All Saints' runs a food pantry during the week. This ministry feeds hundreds of people through the course of the year. Donations of non-perishable food items are always welcomed in support of this ministry.

Once per month, the children of Carden Academy and members of All Saints' prepare and deliver a meal to the homeless family shelter of Path of Life Ministries in Riverside.
