On Sunday, March 7 will celebrate the Third Sunday in Lent from the beautiful interior of All Saints via livestream. Ministers of the liturgy will be observing the social distance and safety protocols dictated by health care professionals and in compliance with our diocesan guidelines. And while we all long for the time when we can safely return for in person congregational worship, being able to center our online service in our familiar and beloved sanctuary is one step toward that eventual goal.
This link https://allsaints-pas.org/live-stream/ includes the Rector’s Forum, the 11:15 a.m. & 1 p.m. services.
Rector’s Forum: 10:00–11:00 a.m. Brother Gerald Rivers
Master Drummer and Djembe player, Brother Gerald Rivers, (https://www.geraldcrivers.com/) frequently teaches and leads drum circle performances for children, high school students and adults. He enjoys seeing his students transform themselves and their lives through this incredibly powerful instrument. Drumming is an ancient communal spiritual practice, which roots us in the rhythms of God in creation and binds us to one another. Brother Gerald has led our own ASC Drum Circle … and will continue to do so on Saturdays during Lent. Join us as we explore the power of this art form together in the Forum this week.
Chapel Time: 11:00-11:15 a.m.
Interactive Children’s Chapel led by Kelly Erin O’Phelan All children and families are invited to participate. If you have a candle available, be ready to light it! For information on joining Children’s Chapel, contact Kelly Erin O’Phelan at kophelan@allsaints-pas.org.
Meditative Chapel Chapel aims to be a liminal space between the hustle of life and household and a more tranquil, worshipful mindset. We’ll have a reading and a moment of meditation, you’ll just need yourself and a candle if you have one. Leila Gonzales will lead a guided meditation to connect with the gratitude, compassion and love that we are. Please join us here. [Meeting ID: 910 9229 2801, Passcode: meditate]
