    ALL SAINTS MARGARET STREET LONDON W1 APPOINTMENT OF FOURTEENTH INCUMBENT THE PARISH PROFILE STATEMENT DESCRIBING THE CONDITIONS, NEEDS AND TRADITIONS OF THE PARISH JULY 2020 1 Two quotations from former Parish Priests of All Saints relevant today: Henry Falconer Barclay Mackay – Fifth Vicar 1908 – 1934 “What is All Saints’, Margaret Street? It is a parish church in very little more than name. Few people and scarcely any Church People live in the tiny district, full now of day workrooms and wholesale businesses, which is bounded by Mortimer Street on the north, Oxford Street on the south, Great Portland Street on the west, and which on the east does not even include the near side of Wells Street. From the first it was intended that All Saints’ should diffuse an urbi et orbi ministry. It was to be a rallying point for the Catholic movement in the Church of England.” Parish Paper for October 1919. Quoted by Fr Moses thirteenth Vicar of All Saints in the Parish Paper for October 2019. [In 1919 the population of the parish then was around 2,000; the population of the enlarged parish is now only around 300 people.] Kenneth Needham Ross – Eighth Vicar 1951 – 1969, on the Mission of All Saints “Early in this century All Saints’ was described by a well-known and sympathetic observer as an “extinct volcano”. Whether that was just or not, it certainly started erupting again under Mackay’s inspired leadership. The parish work might diminish and almost reach vanishing point, but the mission of All Saints Church to London as a whole increased.

    The Parish of All Saints with St John, Stamford Parish Profile 2019 www.stamfordallsaints.org.uk All Saints with St John Parish Profile 2019 1 WELCOME BY THE BISHOP OF GRIMSBY, The Rt. Revd Dr David Court Thank you for taking time to look at this particular post within the Diocese of Lincoln, As one of the largest diocese in the country stretching from the Humber estuary in the North to the Wash in the South we are home to a population of just over 1,000,000 people living a variety of different settings from the urban centres of Grimsby and Cleethorpes and Scunthorpe, the City of Lincoln, the market towns, the coastal strip, the new housing developments and the many, many small villages which mark our landscape. All are equally important to us, and all we are seeking to serve in making known the good news of Jesus that has been entrusted to us. In preparation for our recent ‘Peer Review’ we put together our diocesan mission and vision statements and summarised our intention as follows ‘Our aim then is to grow the Church, in both numbers and depth, through attention to what we see as our core tasks of faithful worship, confident discipleship and joyful service with the vision of being a healthy, vibrant, sustainable church which leads to transformed lives and communities across greater Lincolnshire making a difference in God’s world. To that end as a diocese we shall support, encourage and enable local parishes, benefices and mission communities to fulfil, within this framework, their own unique calling to serve in mission the community or communities in which they are set’.

MEDINA Dr. David L. Brunsma, Thesis Advisor MAY 2007 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the thesis entitled THEORIZING AMERICAN GIRL Presented by Veronica E. Medina A candidate for the degree of Master of Arts, And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Professor David L. Brunsma Professor Mary Jo Neitz Professor Lisa Y. Flores DEDICATION My journey to and through the master’s program has never been a solitary one. My family has accompanied me every step of the way, encouraging and supporting me: materially and financially, emotionally and spiritually, and academically. From KU to MU, you all loved me and believed in me throughout every endeavor. This thesis is dedicated to my family, and most especially, to my parents Alicia and Francisco Medina. Mom and Dad: As a child, I often did not recognize and, far too often, took for granted the sacrifices that you made for me. Sitting and writing a thesis is a difficult task, but it is not as difficult as any of the tasks you two undertook to ensure my well-being, security, and happiness and to see me through to this goal. For all of the times you went without (and now, as an adult, I know that there were many) so that we would not, thank you.

  • Preview of Midnight in Lonesome Hollow a Kit Kittredge American Girl Mystery
    Preview of Midnight In Lonesome Hollow A Kit Kittredge American Girl Mystery Written by Kathleen Ernst Published by American Girl Books 2007 Kit is visiting Aunt Millie in 1934. When a professor arrives to study Kentucky mountain traditions, Kit is thrilled to help her with her research—until it becomes clear that somebody doesn’t want “outsiders” nosing around. Kit decides to find out who’s making trouble…even if it means venturing into Lonesome Hollow in the dark of night. Girls will enjoy solving the mystery right along with Kit. This book includes an illustrated “Looking Back” section to provide historical context. Kit heard the stream’s swishy-whish, swishy-whish song before she glimpsed it through the trees. “Isn’t this Lonesome Branch, that leads to the Craig place?” she asked. “I’ve been looking forward to seeing Fern and Johnny all day.” “It sure is,” Aunt Millie said. “Whoa, Serena!” The mule ambled to a halt on the steep trail. Aunt Millie looked down at Kit, who’d been walking beside the mule. “You’ve learned your way around these parts pretty well.” Kit grinned. “It’s been fun visiting people with our traveling library!” “This will be our last stop today,” Aunt Millie said. “Climb up and hold on!” Kit swung into place on the mule and wrapped her arms around Aunt Millie’s waist. Serena trotted down the bank, splashed into the shallow water, and began picking her way upstream. Kit sucked in a deep breath of mountain air, happy to be exactly where she was.

By providing young girls with enriching products such as dolls books and magazines, American Girl encourages young girls to grow in wholesome ways. American Girl has two main lines of dolls, one inspired by the classic stories of historical America, and another inspired by the contemporary issues of today. We aim to remember all that we’ve accomplished in the past 30 years. History Since American Girl’s debut in 1986 by Pleasant Company, we have created products for each stage of a young girl’s development— from her preschool days of baby dolls and fantasy play through her tween years of self expression and individuality. What began as a simple catalogue and doll company has expanded a widely-known company, creating dolls inspired by America’s own history (now known as the BeForever line). Some of our most popular brands and trademarks include: • BeForever™: American Girl’s signature line of historical dolls, connecting girls ages 8 and up with inspiring characters and timeless stories based 0n America’s history. The BeForever collection currently includes Kaya©, Caroline©, Josefina©, Addy©, Samantha©, Rebec- ca©, Kit©, and Julie©. These dolls give girls the opportunity to explore the past and discov- er what today can bring. • The American Girl® magazine: First launched in 1992 as a magazine exclusively for young girls. The magazine is designed to affirm self-esteem, celebrate achievements, and foster creativity in today’s girls.
