Our labyrinth will be set up on the Chancel from 5:30–7:00 p.m., before and during the Taizé service which will be going on in the Chapel. Walking the labyrinth can be a time of quieting our minds, listening for a word from God, and connecting with the Spirit. In the church with the sounds of prayer and chanting going on in the Chapel, we believe this can be a holy time. Come try it out! Guidelines on how to walk the labyrinth will be available, as will socks if you need them (no shoes and no bare feet on the labyrinth). Information = Jeannie Cobb at jeanniecobb@me.com.
Wednesday, April 8 — Seeking Healthy Faith
Second Wednesday of each month, 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. on Zoom. Trust, love, and hope are at the center of faith, yet many of us have had harmful and injurious religious experiences.

Thursday, April 9 — Creative Writers Group

In this small group, writers are able to read their work in any genre they choose (memoir, creative nonfiction, poetry, novel, short story, etc.), and all can give feedback to, and hear suggestions from, the other writers in the room. This builds a sense of community, and helps the writers to become more confident in their work. We meet every other Thursday at 6:30 p.m. Bernice Fong facilitates. Be assured: whoever you are, and whatever you write, there is a place for you here! Information = frontdesk@allsaints-pas.org.

Friday, April 10 — Theatre Ministry: Death of a Salesman
7:30 p.m., at A Noise Within. Tickets are $51 and available here. Pulitzer Prize winning Death of a Salesman is a poignant exploration of the American Dream and its unraveling. The play follows aging salesman Willy Loman as he grapples with disappointment, disillusionment, and the growing gap between his dreams and reality. As Willy’s world unravels, so does his sense of identity, leading to heartbreaking confrontations with his family and himself. Through memory, conflict, and fractured hope, Miller crafts a powerful portrait of a man chasing success in a society that defines worth by achievement. Death of a Salesman remains a timeless and deeply human story about ambition, family, and self-worth.

Saturday Matinee, April 18 — Join AAPI Ministry and Theatre Ministry to See Kim’s Convenience
2:00 p.m.at the Ahmanson Theatre. This award-winning comedy drama, which inspired the Netflix hit, is a hilarious, feel-good story about a Korean family-run corner store. Mr. Kim works hard to support his wife and children with his Toronto convenience store. As he evaluates his future, he faces both a changing neighborhood landscape and the gap between his values and those of his Canadian-born children. Playwright Ins Choi, who will also star in the production as the titular character, calls Kim’s Convenience his “love letter to his parents and to all first-generation immigrants who call Canada their home.” Simply register below. You will receive a prompt to order your tickets directly from the Ahmanson website. For the show, pick whatever seats you would like — (we won’t be sitting together as a group.) If you are available after the show, we will gather together at Abernathy’s restaurant in the music center (walking distance from the theatre) for a discussion. Hope you can join us! Register here.

Sunday, April 19 — Jazz Vespers: John Proulx
5:00 p.m., on the Chancel. The jazz scene is abuzz about singer, pianist, composer, recording artist, and All Saints’ parishioner John Proulx (pronounced “Proo”). His piano playing is hot and swinging, and his voice recalls the smooth, mellow sounds of a young Chet Baker. John’s 2018 CD, “Say It”, on the ArtistShare label, features Chuck Berghofer, Joe LaBarbera, Larry Koonse, Bob Sheppard, a duet with Melissa Manchester, and three string quartet arrangements by Alan Broadbent. John’s previous three albums on MAXJAZZ, “The Best Thing For You”, “Baker’s Dozen-Remembering Chet Baker”, and “Moon and Sand”, have garnered national and international acclaim, and John’s fan base is quickly growing. In addition to touring with his own trio, John has performed with the likes of Anita O’Day, Natalie Cole, Melissa Manchester, and Marian McPartland.
Friday, April 24 — Fiction Fun! Reads “The Professor’s House” by Willa Cather
Early Discussion at 6:30 p.m., with Book Discussion: 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. in the Guild Room. The Professor’s House (1925). How could a title be duller? But A. S. Byatt called it Cather’s “masterpiece,” saying it was “perfectly constructed, peculiarly moving, and completely original.” In a New Yorker article, Joan Acocella called it “Cather’s most profound book” and added that it “has never received the praise it deserves, partly, I think, because it tells such a terrifying story.”
Sunday, May 17 — Children’s and Youth Spring Concert, “In Perfect Harmony”
5:00 p.m. in the Church. Join us for an evening with all of our children’s and youth choirs for their spring concert, “In Perfect Harmony” featuring music by groups that gave us great harmony – Crosby Stills & Nash, Earth, Wind and Fire, The Fifth Dimension, Simon and Garfunkel, Beach Boys, Indigo Girls, Eagles, Queen, Toto, and more!!
Sunday, June 7 — Save the Date for the Adult Choirs’ Spring Concert featuring Vaughan Williams’ Dona Nobis Pacem and Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy
5:00 p.m. in the Church. Two extraordinary works. One unforgettable evening. First, Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy, a dazzling, joyful showpiece featuring the same melody that eventually became the iconic “Ode to Joy” from the 9th Symphony. Our own Grace Chung takes the piano. We have never performed anything like this at All Saints — prepare to be swept away! Then, Vaughan Williams’ Dona Nobis Pacem (“Grant Us Peace”) — a searingly beautiful cantata written as the world was tumbling toward World War II. Its longing for peace feels as urgent today as ever. The concert moves from celebration to reflection: from pure joy to a prayer the whole world needs right now. You won’t want to miss it.
For more information on these events contact the Front Desk at frontdesk@allsaints-pas.org or (626) 796-1172.
