Another Fourth of July and our country is poised between hope and fear. Fear looks like a tumbling stock market and soaring fuel prices. Hope is found in an election between one person who rose from the hell of war and another who rose from the deep discrimination that has divided our nation for most of its history. One can imagine people in cafés and water coolers focusing on either phenomena with all the attendant emotion that surrounds each.
Where do your eyes go in these moments of transition? Do you see things as winding down or as an opportunity for transformation and transcendence? Do you imagine diminishing resources, declining health and increasing challenges as signals of doom or do you see some power that is urging and agitating for the advent of something new?

All Saints Community Meals started again Saturday, September 8th. This will be our fourth year of providing meals to about 50 guests each Saturday. Ministering to the poor and the needy in our community is an important part of our Christian testimony.
We welcome volunteers! While we start serving meals at 5:30 pm, we need help throughout the afternoon, so please stop by and join us. Volunteers cook, help set-up, and serve the meals. Working at the Community Meals is fun and also a meaningful way of caring for our neighbors. If you want more information about this program, please speak with Denise, Robin, Maurice, Marian, Julia, Moses or Florence. Or contact the Church office at 212-758-0447, email: info@allsaintsnyc.org. Also, if you're redecorating your kitchen....we can use pot holders, dish towels and serving pieces. You can also sponsor a meal for $125. Your name and the reason for the contribution (Thanks, Remembrance) will be listed in the Sunday bulletin.
