All Saints Episcopal Church

All Saints Episcopal Church of the North Shore is delighted to introduce The Rev. Ian J. Hamilton, newly called as Pastor, who begins his ministry with us in the most heartwarming way — by presiding over the beloved North Shore Blessing of the Animals. 
This joyful 23‑year community tradition takes place Saturday, October 3 from 1 to 3 PM on the front steps of All Saints, directly across from Danvers Town Hall, where neighbors, families, and their animal companions gather each year to honor the gentle spirit of St. Francis and to celebrate the creatures who share our lives. The event is rain or shine.
The Blessing of the Animals is free and open to all, welcoming every faith and no faith.
Whether you bring pets, photographs, collars, urns, children clutching favorite stuffies, or simply yourselves, you are warmly invited to greet our new pastor and share in an afternoon of gratitude, blessing, and connection.
For everyone’s comfort and safety, please bring pets leashed or in a carrier.
For animals unable to join us — because of illness, distance, or because they now walk in our hearts — prayer papers will be available to honor them.
Our animal companions bless us every day. On this day, we bless them in return.

Dueling Pianos is back. Bring your friends and have a ball. Dueling Pianos is a massive "to the top of your lungs" sing along with all your friends! Two grand pianos are center-stage with a team of outrageously talented pianists that seem to know every song ever written.
Each show is different because it's all request. And you or your friends might get called up onstage for a bit of good humored fun and some unforgettable you-tube moments. These shows are request oriented, interactive sing-a-longs wherein two piano players sit across from each other and trade songs. The dueling piano audience is used for the dueling aspect of the show. Audience members are pitted one-side-against-the-other. Examples of rivalries include country vs. rock, men against women, etc.
Dueling piano shows often take unexpected turns, like involving wait staff members, changing song lyrics or roasting popular audience members. There aren't many boundaries. It's one big sing-along party, swaying to the music and bellowing-out familiar lyrics. You're not just being entertained by the piano players - you are part of the show!
"Think YOU won't sing along? Just TRY not too.... I dare ya!"

<h3>Giving Back to Those Who Serve</h3>
At the heart of Lights, Sirens &amp; Smiles is a commitment to giving back. Twenty percent of the proceeds from the event will benefit Thin Blue Ride and the Pan-Mass Challenge.
<a href="https://thinblueride.org/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Thin Blue Ride</a> is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide support to active military personnel and first responders facing cancer. Through fundraising, awareness and community involvement, the organization works to help alleviate some of the burdens faced by these individuals and their families during their cancer journeys.
The organization has particularly meaningful roots in both law enforcement and the fight against cancer. Co-founder Jonathan &ldquo;JD&rdquo; Daige is an Army veteran and police officer who battled cancer himself. Thin Blue Ride grew from his experience, including participation in the Pan-Mass Challenge, and his desire to pay forward the support he received during his own fight.
&ldquo;For us, Lights, Sirens &amp; Smiles is about so much more than having a fun family day,&rdquo; said Stephanie Chiulli-Guillemette, founder of SadieLadySecrets.com and author of the Sadie Lady children&rsquo;s book series. &ldquo;It is about giving children an opportunity to meet and appreciate some of the incredible people who serve our communities while showing them what can happen when people come together to help others. We can have fun, create memories and make a difference at the same time.&rdquo;
The first-responder theme also connects closely with the Sadie Lady children&rsquo;s book series, including stories that introduce young readers to firefighters, police officers, safety, courage, service and helping others.
Through its books, family events, charitable initiatives and community partnerships, SadieLadySecrets.com continues its mission of &ldquo;Inspiring Families One Adventure at a Time.&rdquo;
