All Saints publishes two newsletters regularly, which keep members and visitors informed about what is going on.
- Grace Notes is a weekly short email newsletter (see below), focusing on what is happening in the upcoming few weeks. 3-4 pages.
- Calling All Saints is a periodic longer news publication, distributed by email and by postal mail, with longer pieces that cover recent milestones and events, and more detail on the major upcoming events of the season. 8-16 pages. Back issues are online in the Document Archive
Please download a sample issue of these newsletters to see what we're up to!
In addition, we have several brochures that describe our church, our community ministries, our volunteer opportunities, and the ways people can help the church.
If you would like to be put on the mailing list for our newsletters, please contact us.

Lost in Mis-Translation
May 18, 2013
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 1071 Pajaro St., Salinas
9:30 coffee and gathering, lunch provided, $25 registration fee
Child care available –please contact Mary Beth Powell at Marybeth@edecr.org by no later than May 11
10:00-11:15 - “The Bible Doesn’t Say That.” The original Hebrew of the Ten Commandments doesn’t say, “don’t covet or “don’t kill” (and they’re not commandments). The translation “the Lord is my shepherd” is misleading, and the English phrase “with all your heart and all your soul” is just wrong. Like the game of telephone that prompts children to pass messages around a circle, hundreds of generations have handed translations of the Bible one to another, along the way distorting the meaning. Unlike in the children’s game, we still have the original, so we can recover what the Bible originally said.
11:30 - 12:45 - “What Did Jesus Quote?” Quotations of the Old Testament are common in the New Testament, but we read them in double translation, first from Hebrew into Greek, then from Greek into English. Learn what the authors of the New Testament thought the Hebrew meant when they quoted it, and, more generally, how the Old Testament serves the
text of the New Testament.
1:45-3:00 - “The Ways We Read The Bible.” Though Scripture is an increasingly common element of modern debate, “quoting the Bible” means different things in different contexts. We’ll look at these different approaches, and learn why what the Bible says depends on how you read it.

RAGAZZI CONTINUO - Sunday, May 19, 4 p.m.
The English Renaissance played setting to the reign of Elizabeth I, the wit of William Shakespeare, and many a Renaissance Faire....but we won't hold that against it. More importantly, it was the era of Byrd, Dowland, Morley, Tallis, and others. Join the voices of the young singers of Continuo in a rare "classical" treat -- fine vocal music in a language everyone will understand!

CHARLIE AND MATTIE’S TEAM IN TRAINING FUNDRAISING DEADLINE
We're so grateful for the support that so many of you have shown for our next half marathon with Team in Training. Our fundraising deadline is just a few days away -- tomorrow, May 17, to be exact, and we are a bit short of our goal. Many of you have mentioned that you are eager to give -- now is the time! Log onto our blog athttp://pages.teamintraining.org/sj/rnr13/teamchattie and you can not only donate, but also read about the dramatic developments that have taken place since our last posting.
Training is difficult but rewarding, and we keep at it because of the importance of our mission. Together, you and the athletes of Team in Training ("athletes" -- that's us) are making a tangible incremental difference in improving the lives of patients and their families and ultimately defeating blood cancers of all forms. Please join our team; no donation is too small!
Love and blessings,
Charlie and Mattie

DAY OF DISCOVERY
“Discernment Ministry is a lifelong process of attending, perceiving, listening, and discovering how best to express Christ’s ministry through the Church.”
Once each year, the Commission on Ministry sponsors a workshop on discernment. This Day of Discovery offers the opportunity for those already engaged in active ministry to renew their call to a particular ministry, or to explore new ways to respond to God’s call. Although this Day of Discovery is a required first step to anyone discerning a call to ordained ministry, it is in no way limited to such individuals. We explore and celebrate the ministry of all the baptized, and look at ministry development in each of the four orders – laity, deacons, priests, and bishops. We will include new information about the opportunity for licensed lay ministries, a way to help people focus on and train for a particular area of ministry in the parish. Previous participants in the “Day of Discovery” who have participated in this process of discernment have used such words as rejuvenating, validating, and transformative to describe their experiences.
Following the Day of Discovery workshop, participants may choose to take on a self-guided twelve-week exploration to enhance their appreciation of how the four orders of ministry complement each other in fulfilling the mission of the Church, and discern where they fit into that mission. Members of COM provide support as people work their way through this program. It is required of anyone seeking ordination to the diaconate or priesthood.
WHO: For all who want to explore their call to ministry
WHAT: Renew your call to a particular ministry, or explore NEW ways of responding
to God’s call
WHERE: St.Paul’s Episcopal Church, 1071 Pajaro St., Salinas 93901
WHEN: Saturday, June 8, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (9:30 coffee and gathering)
WHY: We pray that you find joy in discerning the “why?”
TO REGISTER: email Joanna Shreve at jrshreve@aol.com (Please put Day of Discovery in subject line) by June 3rd ($10 donation at door for lunch and materials)

HELP SAVE LIVES
Charlie Weigle and Mattie Scott are preparing for another half marathon with Team in Training. Over the past 25 years, Team in Training has raised over 13 BILLION dollars for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, directly funding groundbreaking research that has changed the survival rate for many blood cancers. Funds also support services for families of patients, and provide assistance for those diagnosed with blood cancers who are unable to afford treatment on their own. Charlie and Mattie are participating in the San Diego Rock n Roll Half Marathon on June 2, and they are about a quarter of the way to their fundraising goal of $5,000. You can keep track of their progress by reading their informative and moderately entertaining blog, and make donations on the same site: http://pages.teamintraining.org/sj/rnr13/teamchattie
Prayers and contributions gratefully accepted!
Charlie and Mattie (Team Chattie)
