Healing of the Daughter of Jairus by JESUS MAFA

JESUS MAFA is a response to New Testament readings by a Christian community in Cameroon, Africa. Each reading was selected and adapted to dramatic interpretation by community members. Photographs of their interpretations were taken and then transcribed to paintings.

We offer our condolences and prayers to the family and friends of Kenneth Kirkpatrick, brother of James Kirkpatrick and brother-in-law of Liz Rogers, who entered into the Resurrection on May 31st.

Thank you to Tina Luckey, who stepped in on short notice and on a temporary basis to serve the parish that she loves as an administrative assistant.

A Pounding for Michael, Joanna, and Charles Whitnah Several years ago I organized a pounding for our new rector at The Episcopal Church of the Holy Family. I would like to do that for the Whitnah family. A pounding is stocking the new home when a new family moves into the community. It may have been a Methodist tradition. Long ago, people would stock the home with staples such as butter, sugar, and flour. I think we can have a ton of fun stocking their home with useful items needed today. If you would like to donate to the pounding, then I will accept donations at anytime. You may also include a card or note to the Whitnah’s, if you like. Below are only a few ideas. Thank you! -Fran Burkett

Vestry Person of the Month for July 2018 Dick Whitfield

I am a cradle Episcopalian, having been baptized at the Church of Our Savior in Atlanta, GA. Then I took a 50 year detour through the Baptist Church, finally coming home and being confirmed by Bishop Curry at All Saints’ in 2006.

I have been attending All Saints’ for 20 years. I am finally officially retired.

I enjoy all sports, especially the Atlanta Braves and UNC Charlotte football, basketball, soccer, and baseball.

My favorite Bible verse is “In everything do to others as you would have them do to you; for this is the law and the prophets.” Matthew 7:12

SUBMISSION DEADLINE Sunday Announcements are due by Monday at noon. Announcements
