Midweek Evening Services have taken place over the years at All Saints under the leadership of the incumbent and retired clergy.  For the last two years the services have been Evening Prayer led by two of our lay assistants: Walter Stewart and Debbi Toole.

This short 30 minute service includes a brief homily given by Walter, based on the lectionary readings, reflecting on the scriptures, and a time of sharing in prayer for our world and for our community.

We encourage you to join us Wednesdays from 5 to 5:30pm at All Saints when you can. It is a lovely, quiet and peaceful way to end the day.

Walter’s homilies are available to download from the Church’s website.

From the 2026 Parish “Outreach” budget of $7,500 the Committee has so far:

• Sent $430 to Salt Spring Island Community Services to support one family at the Tuesday Farmers’ Market program.
• Sent $1000 to Alongside Hope for the World Grains Program feeding people in times of crisis. This is matched by government funding. (Alongside Hope has a private entity which matches all these contributions – for more information, click here: https://alongsidehope.org/).
• Sent $1000 to Alongside Hope for a solar roof at St Luke's Hospital West Bank Gaza. This is in partnership with the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem.

Easter Giving Sunday resulted in $964 given to the Salt Spring Food Bank.

The Outreach Committee will be holding its regular Summer Giving Sundays on July 5th and August 30th after the church services.  These funds are given through the schools to students who need help with schoolbooks.

We thank the Parish for its continuing support of these projects.  Any Parishioner can propose any local, national, or international projects they wish. Proposals can be given in at the office or any member of Outreach Committee.  A list of Committee members is on the Outreach bulletin board.  We always welcome new members!

Our next meeting will be on Friday, September 18th at 1pm in the All Saints Library.

Thank you,

Lynda Turner – Chair, Outreach Committee
