Immediately following the 10:00 a.m. service this Sunday, April 2 — Exploring All Saints: Campus Tours by PACES
Did you know what treasures are stored in the South Tower of the Sanctuary? Or that our tiled floors are from the famous Batchelder Studios? We will visit these and other rarely-seen locations on a “behind the scenes” tour of our campus focusing on the need for preservation and repairs.
Our beautiful Sanctuary is 100 years old this year, and several parts of our All Saints Church campus are in need of repair and replacement. Before the Pandemic, the PACES team (Planning and Campus Enhancement Strategies) had prepared a set of detailed options for the Vestry. The Vestry will be taking up this issue in the coming months, and they will want to hear from parishioners at large (that’s YOU!) about campus refresh priorities and needs. The tour lasts about 90 minutes, so please wear comfortable shoes.
We will meet at the Oak tree immediately after the 10AM Service. Please register, but walk-ins are welcome as space permits. More information = Debbie Daniels at ddaniels@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 strongly 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.
