mISSIONS
Burgers & Bingo raises nearly $4,000 for mission
On Friday, June 28, DeWolfe Hall was transformed for an evening into a bingo
hall/burger joint, with proceeds headed for the 2013 All Saints’ Kenya Mission.
Mission team members cooked up the burgers and fixin’s, along with other picnic
foods and a few Kenyan specialties.
Children fresh from their week at Vacation Bible School sang one of their favorites,
“Njalo,” and gathered on the playground for our unofficial attempt to build the
World’s Largest Ice Cream Sundae. Bingo players of all ages tried their luck during
seven bingo games and bid on silent auction items. All told, Burgers & Bingo
raised close to $4,000 for this year’s Kenya Mission, July 22-31.
I scream, you scream, we all scream for the
world’s largest ice cream sundae.
Children performed one of their favorite tunes
from Vacation Bible School.
Tricia Henderson, at center, was the winner of the first two rounds of
bingo.
Mandazi, or East African doughnuts, were served at
the mission dinner.

scooter raffle. The young man at left was thrilled to be a winner!

2013 J2A Pilgrimage
‘Where did you see God today?’
Asking themselves this question daily, the 16 teenagers and four
adults sought the “God moments” on their June J2A Pilgrimage
to Italy. Whether such moments are experienced individually or
communally, as our pilgrims did as part of a faith pilgrimage,
they are memorable times upon which every pilgrim can draw
inspiration.
Our pilgrims traveled to Assisi, the home of St. Francis and St.
Clare, considered among
the holiest people who
ever lived — people who
tried simply to be as much
like Jesus as humanly
possible.
Tired and jet-lagged, our
pilgrims also experienced
radical hospitality from
nuns at a guesthouse.
They took in masterful
works of art, such as
Michelangelo’s David,
and other works by artists
who used their talents to
illustrate the stories of
Scripture.
A pilgrim reflects on the place where
St. Francis had his vision of Jesus.
In Rome, our travelers
witnessed sites that are
part of our heritage of
Pilgrims at the Pantheon in Rome.
Western Civilization, and
that are significant to our
faith tradition, including the prison that held St. Peter and St. Paul
and St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican.
At the tomb of St. Peter, our concept of apostolic succession
becomes clear. Bishops in the Episcopal Church trace their lineage
all the way back to Peter, and are directly connected to the apostles
and to Jesus by the laying on of hands. This is something that as
Episcopalians, our Pilgrims experienced during their confirmation.
Through their J2A Pilgrimage, which is the culmination of a twoyear program, our young people have this unique opportunity to
connect matters of history, Scripture, culture, and faith, as they
continue their journey toward becoming adult disciples of Jesus
Christ.

Thank you very much...
• From Mthr. Ware – I want to say a huge word of thanks to everyone who made my
ordination such a special occasion. I am so honored, humbled, and grateful to have been
welcomed to All Saints’ with such a spectacular service. The flowers looked amazing,
the choir was stellar, and my friends from other parishes couldn’t stop raving about the
food. I am so blessed to be a part of this community, and thank you everyone for such a
beautiful beginning to my priestly ministry.
