Sunday, November 3, is All Saints Sunday, our parish feast day! Mike Kinman preaches at 7:30, 9:00, and 11:15 a.m., and at our 1:00 p.m. bilingual Spanish/English Service.
Requiem Eucharist at 9 & 11:15 a.m.
Coventry Choir and Chamber Orchestra, directed by Weicheng Zhao will offer Requiem for the Living by Dan Forrest. The five movements of Dan Forrest’s Requiem for the Living, (2013), form a narrative just as much for the living, and their own struggle with pain and sorrow, as for the dead. The Sanctus offers three different glimpses of the “heavens and earth, full of Thy glory,” all of which develop the same musical motif: an ethereal opening section inspired by images of space from the Hubble Space Telescope, a stirring middle section inspired by images of our own planet as viewed from the International Space Station, and a closing section which brings the listener down to Earth, where cities teem with the energy of humanity. The Lux Aeterna which then closes the work portrays light, peace, and rest — for both the deceased and the living.
(NOTE: Incense will be used during the 9:00, 11:15 a.m. & 1:00 p.m. services. At 9:00 & 11:15 a.m. there will be an “Incense-Free” zone in the Guild Room and Small Lounge.)

Visit our Creative Worship Space for Families in the Chapel!
Families are invited to worship together through art and play on our rug in the chapel during any part of the 9:00 and 11:15 a.m. Sunday services. Families should stay with their children as this area is not staffed. All are welcome to sit in the chapel; please be understanding whenever our youngest members make a joyful noise.
Parking on Sundays:
- On Sunday mornings, please note that the entire south-side of the North Parking Lot (just north of the church on the corner of Euclid Ave. & Walnut St.) is reserved for people with mobility difficulties.
For regular parking, follow ASC Parking signs to Plaza Las Fuentes (garage entrance on Union) or the Kaiser Parking Structure (on the northeast corner of Euclid Ave. and Walnut). Sunday parking at Plaza Las Fuentes is only validated until 1:00 p.m. — after which parking fees accrue. If you’re staying later, please park in the Kaiser Parking Structure, which is free and open until 4:00 p.m.
PLEASE NOTE: On Sundays, All Saints Church can be a very busy place. It is a good idea to plan to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the service in order to have ample time to park and make your way to the church.
