2010 Fall Rally at All Saints Camp: Saturday, September 11. Join us as we head up to All Saints for the kickoff of the 2010-11 diocesan youth events year. This year’s theme is “Tournament of Champions.” Connect with old friends from camp (the youth from Annunciation are going), meet new people, and participate in fantastic activities and worship.  The event is at All Saints from 10:00 am—4:00 pm, so we’ll need to leave the church by 8:30 am. We’ll be back at Ascension by 5:30 pm. Because we have to pre-register for with the Diocese, you must sign-up to go by September 5. To sign-up, tell Mother Kai or Deacon Andrew, or email Deacon Andrew andrew.vankirk@ascensiondallas.org).
