This Sunday (March 25) All Saints' Anglican Church will welcome Trinity Unplugged from Aurora to lead the 10:30 a.m. worship, with their unique acoustic sounds and joyful songs of praise.

Come to hear Nancy Devine, as she brings the first sermon in a series from our new lay readers. The Youth Group will meet that evening from 6 until 8 p.m. for an Easter art extravaganza. Wear an old T-shirt.

If you like to sing, join the choir Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m., under Director of Music Michael Leach (especially if you sing bass) as they prepare glorious Easter music.

Enjoy the warmth and fellowship of short Lenten candlelit evenings Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. in the choir loft, with soft Taizé songs and thoughts from Rev. Nicola Skinner.

The international Taizé weekend in Montreal for young adults (aged 17 to 35) takes place April 27 to 29, with the theme being Leaving Discouragement Behind - Finding New Hope, as part of the worldwide Pilgrimage of Trust on Earth. To register by March 31 visit www.taize.fr/en_article4542 .html and (4553).

On Sundays, worship in the chapel at 8 a.m., or celebrate the full Sunday Eucharist at 10:30 a.m., with children's chat, nursery care, and Sunday school, followed by refreshments.

From Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, (April 1 until 8), participate in various services during Holy Week.

For those observing Holocaust Remembrance Day (April 15), prepare in advance with the inspiring DVD Paper Clips (King City Library) about a Grade 8 class in Tennessee. Good for junior high youth groups - challenging, and lifechanging.

A Heritage Day Service and Parish Picnic June 10 will display archival material and celebrate this 150th anniversary year of All Saints'.

Continue to gather your contributions for the wellorganized rummage sale, to be held April 21, from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. Drop off your items Tuesdays at 9:30 a.m. and stay to help sort clothing, white elephant treasures and books.

Monday (March 26) King City United Church will host a Red Cross Blood Donor Clinic from 4 to 8 p.m. in the auditorium. Your gift of life will be greatly appreciated.

While planning your calendar, keep April 21 in mind, as the church will be hosting a community concert presented by the Praise Band along with our family and Sunday school choirs. Also featured will be the Spirit.com Gospel Praise Band. More details will follow as the date approaches.
