Sunday, May 28, is Pentecost Sunday, the birthday of the church! Pentecost Sunday commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and other disciples following the Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus, after which the Apostles went out among the people and began spreading Jesus’ message. Join us for a festive celebration with cake on the lawn after the 10:00 a.m. service!

Mike Kinman will preach at both the 7:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. services. At 10:00 a.m., Coventry Choir offers Veni Sancte Spiritus by Rosen. ASL interpretation is offered at 10:00 a.m.

NOTE: Incense will be used at the 10:00 a.m. service. If you’d like to sit in an “incense-free” zone, there is seating outside on the lawn.

Children’s Chapel and Family Hour are on summer break until July 16th, when it will return in-person. For information please contact Ahren Martinez at amartinez@allsaints-pas.org.

The Forum the Sunday will FOLLOW the 10:00 a.m. service on the lawn with a Pentecost Poetry Slam: A Memorial Tribute for the Life of George Floyd
Join us outside on the quad lawn at 11:30 a.m. for the 3rd annual Pentecost Poetry Slam. This time of poetry, drumming, breath and healing began as a way to honor our dear brother George Floyd, whose beautiful life and breath was snatched away by the Minneapolis police on May 25, 2020. We who still have breath in our bodies will use that breath in honor of brother George Floyd, and in honor of all those whose lives have been snatched away by anti-black violence and white supremacy. This time will be a celebration of Black Joy, resistance, love, and liberation. The wind and breath of the Spirit will be present. You won’t want to miss it.

Join Greeter Jenn McGaw in our Online Coffee Hour on Zoom following the 10:00 service.

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.
