Sunday, May 3 — Final Visitation of Bishop John Taylor
Join us as we welcome Bishop John Taylor back to All Saints for his final official visit as the Bishop of Los Angeles. Don’t miss this opportunity to thank him for his nine years of faithful service as our diocesan bishop – for his proactive support for the work of Sacred Resistance, for his commitment to stand with the LGBTQ community in general and our Trans youth in particular and for leading us through the dark days of the COVID epidemic and the rise of Christian Nationalism. His steady hand has helped guide us through some very rocky times indeed — and this will be a chance for us to wish him well as he and Kathy head off to retirement in San Diego. Bishop John will preach and celebrate at the 10:00 service which will include the sacrament of Confirmation. Red will be the festival color of the day — and there will be an opportunity to meet and greet Bishop John on the lawn following the service. All are welcome!

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.

Prayer shawl participants have long known that working with hands is a meditative spiritual practice that quiets minds to hear God’s clear voice. Please join us with yarn, needles, and prayer. Information = frontdesk@allsaints-pas.org.
Wednesday, May 13 — 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.

Sunday, May 24 — Jazz Vespers: Anthony Wilson
5:00 p.m., on the Chancel. Born in Los Angeles in 1968, guitarist and composer Anthony Wilson is known for a body of work that moves fluidly across genres. The son of legendary jazz trumpeter and bandleader Gerald Wilson, his musical lineage has deeply influenced his creative trajectory, compositional choices, instrumental groupings, and the wide-ranging discography that blooms out of them. An inventive soloist and sensitive accompanist, he has been a core member of Diana Krall’s quartet since 2001, after joining her for a series of concerts in Paris at the Olympia Theater, which became the Grammy award winning recording and concert film Live in Paris (2002). We offer a unique opportunity to experience world class musicians in an intimate and beautiful setting in our chancel. We do a little praying with an interfaith flavor, we hear a poem or a reading, we listen to a short meditation. But it’s all about the music. We ask our guest artists to play what they want to play, and they never disappoint. Validated parking will be available in Plaza las Fuentes. There is no charge. No reservations required.
Friday, May 29 — Exit the King
7:30 p.m. at A Noise Within. Tickets are $51 and available here. It’s King Bérenger’s last day on Earth – he just doesn’t want to admit it. In Exit the King, Eugène Ionesco delivers a savagely funny and touching look at mortality. As the king clings to power (and life), his crumbling kingdom is held together by an eccentric crew: his fierce first wife, his adoring second wife, and a loyal band of quirky servants. This absurdist classic is a witty, poignant exploration of letting go, full of heart, humanity and unexpected wit. Information = Melissa Hayes at mhayes@allsaints-pas.org.
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.
