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!

12:00-1:30 p.m. — Episcopal Church 101 Begins, with lunch in the Guild Room.
Episcopal Church 101 is a series of presentations, discussions, and anyone wanting to go deeper into the history, theology, and doctrine of the Episcopal Church. The four-class hybrid (in-person and online) course will be held on Sunday afternoons April 14, 21, 28, and May 5. The program concludes with the opportunity to receive the sacramental rite of Confirmation at the diocesan wide Confirmation service with Bishop John Taylor on May 11th, 10:00am at St. John’s Cathedral. Here’s what one parish leader wrote about his experience with both the class and Confirmation: From the moment I stepped onto the lawn one Sunday morning, everything fell into place. Within weeks, I was entrenched in the All Saints Community, joining small groups and becoming an usher. When the Confirmation Class began a few months later, it seemed like a “no-brainer” because it isn’t just about confirming my commitment to my community; it’s about committing to my faith, roots, and growth as a spiritual being. All Are Welcome! For more information, contact Ana M. Camacho at acamacho@allsaints-pas.org. Register here: https://tinyurl.com/2ybz8pae.

12:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. — We All Live in Gaza – film pre-screening, art exhibit and conversation in the Church
We All Live in Gaza tells the story of what has happened historically and what is happening today inside Gaza through the eyes of artists and musicians.The project seeks answers why the siege is continuing unabated, and most critically explores the issues of how a just resolution can be found. The story also features farmer Mohammed Obied and his family. They are caught in the middle of a geopolitical conflict over which they have little to no control.  And their story is tragically real. In addition to portions of the film, there will be a presentation of a large reproduced work “No Words” by Gazan artist Malak Mattar shared for the first time in The United States, which was just unveiled in London last month. Prints by other Gazan artists will be available for sale. There will also be a chance for open conversation with filmmaker Maurice Jacobson, who has worked in Gaza with the artists this past decade .

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.
