This summer, Vacation Bible School at All Saints was full of joy, laughter, and meaningful moments, especially the beautiful sight of middle and high schoolers, once VBS kids themselves, now returning as volunteers. With parents, grandparents, and so many others involved, it truly felt like a village coming together in Galilee.

As we turn toward fall, there’s more to look forward to:

• Blessing of the Backpacks happens on August 3 and 10 at all three services. Backpack tags will be available for children, students of all ages, and working adults, yes, they fit on briefcases too!
• Children’s Formation Orientations:
• Level 2 & 3 (1st–6th grade): August 17 at 10:00am
• Level 1 (new 3–5 year olds): September 2 or September 8, 6–7pm
• Parish Retreat at Camp McDowell is August 22–24. For kids of all ages, whether for a night, the weekend, or just a day, it’s a time of fun, connection, and worship.
• Atrium sessions resume on Sunday, September 14, with gatherings at 8:15am and 9:45am.

We’re grateful for all who helped make this summer special and are excited for the season ahead. Thank you for your prayers and for walking alongside the children of All Saints.
