We’ll hear from graduates stepping into uncertain and exciting futures, parents navigating the strange work of letting go, and those who’ve been through it and lived to tell the tale. All are welcome for a morning of honest conversation, grounded in the belief that change isn’t something to fear, but something we move through together.
Sunday, May 17 — Stephanie Spellers Returns to All Saints
10:00 a.m. in the Church. Join us in welcoming the Reverend Dr. Canon Stephanie Spellers back to the All Saints pulpit at the 10:00 a.m. service. As our Becoming Beloved Community consultant we have been blessed by her wisdom, guidance and experience as we continue to grow into God’s future, striving to make the love, justice and belonging not just values we profess but a reality we live. Don’t miss this opportunity to be inspired by a leading voice in the Episcopal Church for evangelism, racial justice, and spiritual renewal. Known for her ministry weaving together storytelling, cultural awareness, and justice work she is uniquely gifted to equip us as we continue the work of dismantling oppression in all its forms and sharing the Gospel in ways that are authentic, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of a changing world. And — if you missed getting a copy when she was here in February — Canon Spellers will have copies of her book “Church Tomorrow?” for sale on the lawn after the service.

Friday, May 22 — Fiction Fun! Reads Allen Levi’s Theo of Golden (2023)
Early Discussion at 6:30 p.m.; Book Discussion from 7:00-8:30 p.m. in the Guild Room. This novel, self-published by its author in 2023, got traditionally published two years later and became a New York Times #1 best-seller, with a million copies sold by March 2026. Oprah Winfrey said she “read and loved” it, and she shared a favorite quotation: “For anything to be good, truly good, there must be love in it.” Online commentary suggests that Theo of Golden is sentimental and earnest, with an “old-fashioned, liberal-minded Christianity.” According to the blogger Nicole O’Meara, “Anyone who enjoys people-watching will enjoy Theo of Golden. . . . Theo gave me the courage to talk to strangers on a recent international trip.”

This session is designed as a welcoming, accessible overview — no prior knowledge needed. We’ll explore what the Enneagram is, how to begin finding your type, and why this tool has become a meaningful companion for so many on the spiritual journey. All are welcome — join Sarah Nolan, Amanda Baughman and others for this engaging exploration of self, Spirit, and community.”
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 — Theatre Ministry: 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, May 31 — Youth Sunday

Our labyrinth will be set up on the Chancel from 5:30–7:00p.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.

Sunday, June 7 — Dr. Rima Vesely-Flad presents The Fire Inside: The Dharma of James Baldwin & Audre Lorde
9:00 a.m. in the Forum. We launch Pride Month at All Saints by welcoming Dr. Rima Vesely-Flad to explore her new book “The Fire Inside” — diving deeply into a dharma of liberation as lived by Baldwin and Lorde, offering timely lessons to help us each meet this moment. She explores the writers enduring legacies to show that liberation depends not only on organizing and mass movements, but the generative power of inner well-being, authenticity, art, and embodiment. Dr. Vesely-Flad’s work helps answer the question: “How do we pursue justice without burning out, turning on each other, or becoming what we oppose?” Her response is: “Through disciplined spiritual practice that transforms how we see, feel, and act? not just what we believe.” Books will be available for purchase.
Sunday, June 7 — Newcomers Coffee
Immediately following the 10 a.m. service in the Chapel. Please join other newcomers and meet staff and greeters, ask more questions, have a cup of coffee and learn how to get connected!
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.
Tuesday, June 9 — Prayer Shawl Ministry
7:00–8:30 p.m., in the Regas House Lobby. The Prayer Shawl Ministry meets the 2nd Tuesday of every month. We gather in community to share our prayers, our stories, the work of our hands and hearts while knitting and crocheting shawls to be given as mantles of healing to those in need of comfort. 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, June 10 — 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. This monthly small group provides a safe space to explore toxic religious experience and develop new and healthier ways of understanding ourselves and God/Spirit. Contact group leader Charles Foster at drcharlesfoster@icloud.com for Zoom access.
Sunday, June 14 — June Labyrinth Walk
8:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m. in the Forum. Come join our June Labyrinth Walk in the Forum. Whether your walking meditation is to celebrate Pride Month and the LGBTQ+ community, Juneteenth, marking the freedom from slavery for Black Americans or your personal intentions, all are welcome, especially for those new to the Labyrinth! Your walking prayer (or prayerful walk) will be a gift in helping create the Beloved Community here at All Saints and in the wider world.
Friday, July 17 — Theatre Ministry: Mexodus
8:00 p.m. at Pasadena Playhouse. Tickets are $43 and available here. Mexodus – the New York Times Critic’s Pick new musical created and performed by Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson – comes straight from New York to the Playhouse stage this summer. This electrifying experience explores a hidden chapter of the Underground Railroad – one that moved south, by crossing the Rio Grande toward liberation in Mexico. This groundbreaking musical amplifies the story of a freedom seeker and an unlikely ally as they forge a remarkable bond that transcends borders. It’s history remixed. It’s a ride you won’t want to miss. Information = Melissa Hayes at mhayes@allsaints-pas.org.
