The Boston Children's Chorus is coming to Portland!
They are coming to Eugene, first, as one of ten choruses invited to an
international festival, and then they will come to Portland for a 7:00 p.m.
performance here at All Saints Episcopal Church. The singers on this tour range
in age from 9 to 18, with most falling between the ages of 12 and 15.
They come from the public schools of Boston and are an outstanding,
internationally recognized group.
What I am looking for is homes for the singers to stay. If anyone has space to
invite two (or more) young people to their homes for the nights of June 30th
and July 1st. Please contact The Rev. Constance Hammond.

Safeguarding
God's Children,
Attention
parents, grandparents, and everyone who wants to keep all children safe.
Safeguarding God's Children,
a course sponsored by the Episcopal Church, will be held at All Saints' May 4
after the 10:15 service. In order to safeguard the church environment,
this course is required for clergy, senior wardens and volunteers who work with
young people. Beginning in the fall it will also be required for all
vestry members. In addition, the course is an important reminder for
everyone
of how the vigilance of adults can keep kids safe at school, in clubs, in teams,
and in the neighborhood.
A light lunch will be served at 12:00 noon and the course will begin at 12:30
and end around 4:00. There will be childcare and activities for children
so that parents can attend. Please take advantage of the convenience and
register on-line at www.diocese-oregon. Cost is $10 per person.
Please contact Sarah Gibson, 503 775 1126 or sgibsonpdx@aol.com if you need help
registering or have any questions.
The Psalm 139 ministry
( Prayer Shawls) is running low on available shawls. We would love to have
some more knitters as demand is exceeding supply. If you would like
to participate, contact Patti Ryall. It is easy, satsifying, and can be done in
your own home in your own time. We will even teach you how to knit. Please
consider joining this valuable outreach ministry
