March 31st is Easter Sunday!
Festive Eucharists at 7:00, 9:00 and 11:15 a.m. in the Church. We celebrate the resurrection amidst a blaze of candles, and beautiful flowers. Mike Kinman preaches at 7:00, 9:00 and 11:15 a.m. At 7:00 a.m. Lydia Brown offers music. At 9:00 & 11:15 a.m. Coventry and Canterbury choirs and Trouvères youth choir and soloists offer a traditional South African tune, and music of Ames, Rentz, Hayes and Langlais. ASL interpretation is available at 9:00 a.m.
Try Communion Online during the 9:00 and 11:15 a.m. Services Take communion on Zoom here.
With the desire to enhance our online worship experience and make it more interactive, we’re going to try something new! During communion this Sunday, you can now Zoom in and personally take communion with an All Saints priest. You supply your bread and wine (in whatever iteration you wish), we supply the priest, and we all have a personal, but different, communion experience. This Sunday, your communion priest will be Mike Kinman. Take communion on Zoom here. Please let us know how you like it.
Childcare will be available 8:00 a.m.– 1:00 p.m. Normal Sunday parking is available in Kaiser and Plaza Las Fuentes.
From 10:45–11:15 a.m. we’ll have the Children, Youth and Families Easter Egg Hunt with Easter Egg Painting Station! Because rain is forecast for Sunday, our Easter Egg Hunt is moving inside! We’ll hold it in the Learning Center instead. A special area will be set up just for the littlest ones to do their Easter Egg Hunt, and kids age 6-and-over will scavenge the rest of the Learning Center and the Jr. and Sr. High rooms for theirs. Tables will be set up in the Learning Center for Easter Egg painting too! Don’t miss the fun!!! Join us for this joyful family activity.
There will be no Forum on Easter.
Children’s Chapel during the 9:00 & 11:15 a.m. services!
Kindergarten through 5th graders! Come one, come all and join us for Children’s Chapel during the 9:00 & 11:15 a.m. services on Easter, where children will experience music, arts and crafts, meditations, storytelling, wiggly fun, spiritual practices for kids and so much more! Children’s Chapel is a space for your child to build church community with children their own age, celebrate diverse cultures and explore who/what God means to them. Here at All Saints, we encourage children and youth to show up as their fully authentic selves every day, ask questions and love one other fiercely through modeling it for them, first, and through our weekly discussions! It is never a dull moment in Children’s Chapel, so please join us! Parents are always welcome. Let’s celebrate and connect! For information please contact Merry at msimkins@allsaints-pas.org.

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.
