At 9:00 a.m. in the Forum, Meet Our New Priest-in-Charge! Join us in the Forum as we welcome the Reverend Tim Rich to All Saints as our Priest-in-Charge. Arriving in Los Angeles the summer of 2024, Tim comes to All Saints after serving as the rector of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. Prior to his time at St. Luke’s, Tim was the Canon to the Ordinary for the Rt. Rev’d. V. Gene Robinson, the 9th Bishop of New Hampshire. In his thirty plus years of ordained ministry, Tim has served on a wide variety of diocesan bodies, including the Commission on Ministry, the Congregational Development Committee, and Diocesan Council. He also was a contributor and national faculty member for Fresh Start, a church-wide program designed to support clergy and congregations in transition. This is a time of great possibility in the life of All Saints, and we look forward to Tim’s spiritual leadership as we move into our future journey with care and courage.

This is “bible study” with a difference. Our goal will be to heal and move beyond the misunderstanding, confusion, hurtful interpretation, oppression, and other ways our bible has been used against us. Jesus is the Word of God, and God’s Word is one of love, hope, and reconciliation. This is the bible we’ll strive together to come home to in this small group study. Facilitated by Dr. Charles Foster. Contact Dr. Foster at drcharlesfoster@icloud.com for Zoom access.

ALL ARE WELCOME to pray, reflect, and find strength in our shared resolve for a more just and loving world.

Streaming at 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. (and for other streamed services and events) is offered on our website’s live stream page, our Facebook page and our YouTube channel. Check out our live streaming page to download service leaflets and take part in our action of the week.

For in-person worship, our guiding principle remains to follow common sense risk reduction guidance for as long as we remain in a declared public health pandemic, so to keep our community safe and well, our in-person worship guidelines include:

• (as of 1/30/23) Because Los Angeles County, including Pasadena, currently have low levels of COVID-19, masks are recommended, but not required, for everyone indoors.
• Masks are optional outdoors.
• Both outdoor and indoor seating is available for services and communion will be served in both locations.
• Our expectation is that those entering the church will be vaccinated (if vaccination is available to them)
• Those who choose to be unvaccinated are requested to participate online.
• Those seated indoors are asked to maintain social distance between individuals/households.
• If we reach seating capacity in the church, ushers will guide you to alternative seating areas.
• We ask you not enter if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms: fever over 100.4°F or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, or if you have had contact in the last 14 days with someone diagnosed with or suspected to have COVID- 19.
