Sunday, January 21st, is Healing Sunday. At 7:30 & 10:00 a.m. we’ll have our Healing Services and Blessing of the Prayer Shawls. In the Healing Service you are invited to come forward and experience the laying on of hands — to let go of the past, whatever it has been, and welcome the new year. Also during the service, prayer shawls knitted and crocheted by members of our community will be presented and blessed.

Mike Kinman will preach at 7:30 and 10:00 a.m. In the 10:00 a.m. service in the Church, Coventry Choir offers Lord, Lead Us Still by Brahms and This I Pray, by Sorenson with soloist Lydia Brown. ASL interpretation is available at 10:00.

At 9:00 a.m. in the Forum: Nadia Bolz-Weber, author, ordained Lutheran Minister and public theologian will join us at 9:00 a.m. in the forum for a conversation about the challenges and opportunities of being spiritual community at such a time as this … and what individual and communal practices can sustain and even transform us through polarization and conflict. Nadia is founder of House for All Sinners & Saints in Denver, Co, the creator and host of The Confessional and the author of three NYT bestselling memoirs: Pastrix; The Cranky, Beautiful Faith of A Sinner & Saint, Accidental Saints; Finding God In All The Wrong People and SHAMELESS; A Sexual Reformation. She writes and speaks about personal failings, recovery, grace, faith, and really whatever the hell else she wants to. She always sits in the corner with the other weirdoes. Don’t miss it!

Children’s Chapel during the 10 a.m. service!
Kindergarten through 5th graders! Come one, come all and join us for Children’s Chapel during the 10:00 a.m. service, 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 Nina Scherer at nscherer@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.
