All Saints Sunday, November 4, is our parish feast day. It is a day to celebrate all the saints — known and unknown. Those whom we have loved but see no longer; those whom we proclaim each time we gather around the table with us singing as “angels and archangels and all the company of heaven.” On All Saints Day, our very name as a community reminds us that we are always in communion, always in the presence of ancestors unseen but not unfelt. Their voices still speak, if we have the ears to hear. Their ancient wisdom is still there, if we will let it re-emerge from our hearts.

It is also the day we honor those who have died within the past year. At all services our memorial book, containing names raised up by the community will be placed on the altar. At 9 & 11:15 a.m. Coventry Choir and Chamber Orchestra will offer Requiem by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Composed in Vienna in 1791 and left unfinished at the composer’s death, Requiem was completed the next year by Franz Xaver Süssmayr. It stands as one of the great monuments of faith expressed in music. Dan Cole and the 1pm Ensemble offer music at 1:00 p.m.

Mike Kinman will preach at 7:30, 9:00 and 11:15 a.m.  and at the 1:00 p.m. Spanish/English bilingual Service.

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 Small Lounge.

At 9:00 a.m. Family Eucharist in Learning Center. We will have a time of remembrance and celebration.

Live-stream the 11:15 service here.

Labyrinth: Practice contemplative prayer by walking a replica of the labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral in France, 8:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. in the Forum.

The Table — Gather | Engage | Grow: The Bible — Where’s the Power: Do I Have Any? (Sweetland Hall)
At The Table we gather together as a parish body to engage both new ideas and each other in order to grow in understanding of our community, ourselves, and our faith. The fall session will focus on understanding the basic shape of the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. This week will delve into grace, unconditional love, and how this drives our work and community forward. Leader: Daniella Baker.

At 5:00 p.m.:
Labyrinth and Taizé Prayers in Celebration of All Saints Day
In the Chapel, enjoy a peaceful, quiet space as part of All Saints Day. Join us for prayers in the style of Taizé with candlelight, contemplative music and silence. Walk the labyrinth at any time before, during or after the service. Information = Debbie Daniels at allsaintstaize@gmail.com.

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.
