All Saints Gazette: Minimalist edition
I’m sick and there was a school-free day, so this week’s newsletter is bare bones. May God provide you manna in the wilderness! The main thing to note this week is:
No service on Sunday, 30 March!
The question of whether we have the capacity and the hunger for weekly liturgy is one we are very curious about, so feel free to let us know your thoughts! But don’t show up at Vrijburg this Sunday, at least not looking for us!
The next Sunday service is on 6 April at 17:30, collaborative meal to follow.
Also on 6 April beginning at 15:00, Jocelyn Phelps will lead us in an exploration of vocation and strategy using the methods of organizational coaching. Please come if you at all can.
Palm Sunday Liturgy in Kempen
Palm Sunday (April 13) would normally be an off week for us this year, but we have signed up to hold a service in Kempen. The Protestant church there has taken in a family at risk of deportation. Our liturgy will be part of a round-the-clock service that has been going on there in order to prevent the police from entering (which they cannot do during a service under Dutch law). Our slot is from 18:00-20:00. We are hoping to organize a carpool. So: please let Mpho know if you
want to come
have a car (that you or someone else can drive)
could drive (your own car, or someone else’s)
If you’re volunteering a car, please mention how many people you can take (and if it’s for someone else to drive: whether it’s manual or automatic). And if you’re volunteering to drive but don’t have a car, let us know what sorts of car you can drive.
Can you make a regular or one-time offering to All Saints?
Use the QR code or this link, or make a transfer through your banking app (the latter saves us a few cents). Please consider making your offering recurring, and pray about what you are called to pledge when we have our winter pledge drive.

There is one session left in the EICS’s crash course in Anglicanism, for those of you who are new and wondering what you’ve just walked into, as well as those who’ve been around for years and still have question (I still have questions!) You don’t need to have come to any of the previous sessions.
