From the Senior Warden,

Dear Parishioners,

We are at the end of a beginning, and at the beginning of an end. Our fears

of beginning rest in uncertainty of what that beginning may bring. From my

perspective a beginning can be made more predictable because of experience.

What we know from the past helps us to frame a beginning. I apologize for the

philosophy, but it serves a purpose in setting up the following.

God has planted a tree here at All Saints. One branch is intended to flow

nourishment for our soul, the other branch to flow nourishment for our bodies.

The flow of nourishment for our soul is grounded in our worship each Sunday.

What will change in this beginning? We will use the well known Rite One or Rite

Two, the Book of Common Prayer will stay the same, the Bible, the Altar, the

church itself, will not change. Yes we will have a new priest, but we will be

operating with the very same things with which we are comfortable.

The nourishment for our body is already well established in our parish.

We have so many activities and events planned: Parish Life Fellowship, New

Outreach Programs, a great Music Program, a Youth Ministry -The Portal -

progressing nicely. All leading to ever growing membership, increasing Sunday

service attendance, a more solid financial base. “We Are A Happening”.

After my conference call with Bishop Smith I can say to you that he is

personally taking the lead to make sure we continue nourishing our souls and

bodies. That call was very reassuring. Although he did not say it, I sense he sees

All Saints as a beacon in the north. Details are sketchy, but this is what I

understand. The Bishop has already identified a retired priest that he will place at

All Saints as Priest in Charge for three to four months. The name was not revealed

as it is not yet a done deal. Father Wayne knows the person and speaks very

highly of him, calling him a perfect fit.

The Bishop also expects that we will conduct a new service for a Rector

after we describe a priest’s profile, I am certain we can do this.

Again, we will move forward; lead by God and influenced by us. We

continue what we are doing now and I will pledge to keep you well informed.

Don F. Bartoo

Sr. Warden

ALL SAINTS EPISCOPAL CHURCH June 20, 2016 VESTRY MEETING

Fr. Wayne opened the meeting by leading the Vestry in Evening Prayer, followed by a recitation of the Mission of the Church. The meeting was then

called to order at 7:20 p.m. Roll was taken, and with the exception of Dorothy Knudsen, all Vestry members were present. The meeting notes of the May Vestry

Meeting were then reviewed.

Treasurer’s Report: Nancy Medford and Bob Kinney reviewed the Financial Report for May, 2016. Nancy stated that she will review our insurance

policies with regard to the valuation placed on our stained glass windows, with an eye toward increasing the coverage on them if necessary. Bob will contact the

Church Insurance Company to ask for their input. The report was then approved for audit.

Business Manager’s Report: Bob Kinney reported that we have received a $5,000 gift dedicated for use in increasing and expanding our youth initia-

tive. In addition, we have now received our apportionment rebate from the Diocese in the amount of $1800 which is also dedicated to our youth ministry. Bob

then presented a proposal for improvements to Greene Hall. He met with a representative of Solid Rock Community School, and they have offered to assist us

both financially and by providing labor to address the following improvements: 1) Painting Greene Hall; 2) Re-carpeting Greene Hall; 3) Replacing all light bulbs

with LED bulbs; 4) Use of 100 chairs. Solid Rock Community School will pay for the paint and provide the labor for painting; they will pay for and replace the light

bulbs; provide the chairs for our use; and split the cost of new carpet.

After a motion by Hub Kirkpatrick and a second by Nancy Medford, the Vestry approved moving forward with all of the improvements and spending an

amount not to exceed $3600 from the Major Maintenance Fund for the replacement of the carpet. In addition, after a motion by Hub Kirkpatrick and a second by

Barb Rulison, the Vestry approved the appointment of Nancy Medford, Carolyn Bartoo, Nancy Kinney, Trish Farrell, and Linda Rissler to the decorating commit-

tee to coordinate with Solid Rock. Finally, the Vestry approved a re-naming of upper Greene Hall to the All Saints Fellowship Center.

Senior Warden Report: Don Bartoo began his report by explaining that the chairs scheduled for use in the Fellowship Center had developed an ex-

tensive mold problem, and were not usable. He then reminded the Vestry that the New Member Reception is scheduled for July 10th immediately following the

10:00 a.m. service in the Fellowship Center. He also reported that he was in the process of completing his effort to identify back-ups to staff members in case of

emergency. In addition, he advised the Vestry that he has asked an expert in electronic media to make a short presentation to the Vestry at our August meeting.

In addition, Don stated that the Stewardship Campaign kick-off is scheduled for September 25th with an ice cream social and Ministry Fair to be held in

the Fellowship Center after the 10:00 a.m. service. Finally, he suggested that the July Vestry Meeting be cancelled.

Junior Warden Report: Jim Rissler distributed a list of maintenance projects that included the cost and status of each. He noted that

between last month’s Vestry meeting and this meeting, he conducted a poll of the Vestry and obtained approval for the purchase of a new re-

frigerator for the Fellowship Center at a cost of $1,800. The Vestry also approved paying for the refrigerator from the Sandella account. The

refrigerator is now in place. Jim then led a discussion of the need for repairs to the sign located on Richard Irvin Road.

At Jim Rissler’s request, Hub Kirkpatrick then agreed to serve as the interim Junior Warden while Jim is out of town.

Shepherds Reports: Fr. Wayne asked whether anyone had anything to report regarding the various flocks the vestry oversees. As a

part of the discussion, Barb Rulison thanked Carolyn Bartoo for handling the change in the Flower Ministry. She also asked Jim Rissler to include

a painting of the working Sacristy as a part of the Junior Warden Request List. Nancy Medford asked the Vestry to consider funding Coffee

Hour, and the Vestry approved a motion by Jim Rissler with a second by Hub Kirkpatrick to place a “thank offering” basket at coffee hour, and

to fund the remainder, if needed, through the Evangelism Fund. Ron Taddeo gave an update regarding the youth initiative, and said that Trish

Farrell is working with some parent-volunteers on a new curriculum for Sunday School. Sally Cartier reported that the Pastoral Care flock held a

meeting and have added two new Eucharistic Ministers to their ranks. That brings the total to six.

Report from the Candidate for Holy Orders: Bob Kinney distributed a hard copy of a presentation he did regarding the Ministry of a

Deacon. He explained the history of Deacons in the Episcopal Church, and discussed the various roles that a Deacon plays in today’s church. He

is continuing to work his way through the process and stated that he will ask the Vestry’s formal support again at the August meeting. Bob

then led a discussion regarding a program called “Pack A Snack.” This program is designed to provide weekend nourishment in the form of

snacks to children who have been identified by school personnel as being in need of help. We will provide the food and deliver the packages to

the school on Thursday afternoon for distribution by the school on Friday afternoon. Bob has identified a need at Sunset Hills Elementary

School in Tarpon Springs. They have identified ten students who could use our help. After a brief discussion and a motion by Hub Kirkpatrick

with a second by Don Bartoo, the Vestry approved support of the Pack A Sack initiative and agreed to provide $1,500 from the Outreach Fund

to assist in its funding.

New Business: None

Rector’s Report: Fr. Wayne reminded the Vestry that we agreed to dispense with the July meeting. He also reminded the Vestry

that we still need to fill the vacancy created by Lynn Kostreles’ resignation.

The next meeting of the Vestry will be held on August 15th, 2016. The meeting was adjourned at 9:05 p.m.

Sincerely,

Barbara Rulison, Clerk of the Vestry Don Bartoo, Senior Warden

NEW VESTRY MEMBER

The vestry has appointed Robert Brackett to fill an open, unexpired term bringing the total to nine members.

Bob and Dorothy Brackett came from St. Luke’s, Mechanicsburg, PA in 2014. At St. Luke’s, Bob was on the vestry,

served as Jr. and Sr. Warden, and was a member of the website design team.

He retired from the Naval Supply Systems Command where he held a management position responsible for

application and generating system design, programming, implementation, and support.

We welcome Bob to the All Saints Vestry.

Sr. Wardens Report

Stewardship Campaign 2017

The annual Stewardship campaign begins September 25th with a kick off Ice Cream Social and Ministry Fair and con-

cludes on Covenant Sunday, November 6th with a Thanksgiving Breakfast.

The campaign focus is on each member making a Stewardship Covenant with God. In this Covenant we express our

commitment to follow the word of God and work toward transforming our own life and the lives of those around us. We

agree to pledge financial support and provide our service for the work of our Church.

During the six weeks of the campaign you will receive information that will help you form your Covenant with God. This

information will be delivered by mail, social media, email, and also an emphasis on personal presentations showing how

ministries work toward transforming lives.

The goal of the campaign is straight forward:

1. For every member to make a Personal Covenant to support All Saints Church financially.

2. For every member to make a Personal Covenant to support the ministries of All Saints

Church by volunteering time and talents.

We are grateful for the past financial support you have given and have used these monies prudently to strengthen our

resolve and commitment to Jesus Christ. Faithfully,

Don Bartoo, Sr. Warden

ALTAR GUILD:

The altar guild has contracted with Skip’s Florist to provide flowers every weekend for the main altar at All Saints.

An additional arrangement will be added to the altar in the Mary Chapel if requested by a parishioner.

If you have donated to the flower fund for a particular weekend and would like to take one or both of the ar-

rangements with you, please come up immediately after the service and one of the members of the guild will pre-

pare them for you.

The flowers will also be available for shut ins and those unable to attend services on a particular weekend. If you

know someone with whom you would like to share the flowers, you may let us know after the 10 o’clock service and

we will prepare them for you.

Please consider making a contribution toward flowers and/or the sanctuary light. It is a wonderful way to give

thanks for your many blessings, celebrate a birthday or anniversary, honor an event, or show praise for our beautiful

church.

The sign up sheet is on the wall in the Narthex as you enter the church.

With many blessings,

Carolyn Bartoo, Altar Guild

The adult choir will resume rehearsals on September 8th at 6:30 pm in the choir room in

Dona Nobis Pacem. If you enjoy music and good company, please come and join us.

We would love to have you!

Sunday School Is Back!

Multi-Age Sunday School for preschool through 5th grade meets during the school year,

beginning September 11, 2016. We begin the service in class, then rejoin our families in church during the sharing

of the Peace. We are using the "Living the Good News" curriculum that follows the same lessons the

Lectionary) the adults are hearing in church. We usually have a snack. We always have 2 teachers for safety and are

always looking for more help. Donations of healthier snacks (cheezits and juice or water are favorites) are needed

and welcomed. Contact Trish Farrell 727-376-1571, trishcfarrell@gmail.com.

There will be a Deanery Ultreya on Saturday Sept 17th from 5-7pm. We will start with a

potluck dinner. There will be fellowship, food, singing, praying and praising!! Ultreya is

for people who have attended a Cursillo weekend as well as anyone who wants to learn

more about Cursillo. The next Cursillo weekend is at Dayspring Sept. 29th-Oct. 2nd. For

more information or questions please call Nancy Kinney at 727-458-4138.

The Portal is up running! Our youth and adults have been getting to know each

other this past month while having great fun bowling and hanging out at The Beach

Tampa. Some even brought friends. If you haven't seen the pictures yet, just click on the

Youth Portal tab on the website. www.allsaintstarpon.com

September 11 marks the beginning of The Portal Sunday Formation. The curriculum

is foundation theology. Our youth will explore their faith and ask the questions they actual-

ly wonder about the Bible, creed, disciples, Jesus, other beliefs, and hot topics. Here is what

Sunday morning will look like for families with youth in The Portal.

The Portal youth and teachers will participate in worship with their families in the sanctuary; then receive

communion and immediately go to the library for discussion, fun, and food, of course. Formation will last until

11:45 while parents enjoy coffee and fellowship after the service ends. Other activities will be held on a monthly

basis. We can't tell you what our next activity will be because The Portal will decide that for themselves in the

coming weeks. We are looking to our youth to lead because The Portal belongs to them. So please join us on

Sunday mornings......Amazing things happen when you travel through The Portal!
