Easter is a season not just a Sunday, and we’re going to celebrate all 50 Days of Easter — starting off this Sunday, April 16, with a visit from one of our favorite friends of All Saints Church, Bishop Gene Robinson.

Alfredo Feregrino will preach at 7:30. The Rt. Rev. Gene Robinson will preach at 10:00 a.m., at a festive service which will include the sacrament of Confirmation for both adults and youth in our Seekers program.
At 10:00 a.m. Coventry Choir quartet offers music. ASL interpretation is offered at 10:00 a.m.

There will be Children’s Chapel at the 10:00 a.m. service. Join us for Family Hour at 9:00 a.m.! All Saints’ Children, Youth, and Families department hosts “Family Hour” for parents and children (kindergarten through fifth grade) on Sundays, 9:00-10:00 a.m. Parents are welcome to participate or drop children off. Join us in the Learning Center (top floor of Regas House) for music, art, and fun! Let’s celebrate and connect! For more information, contact Ahren at amartinez@allsaints-pas.org.

The Forum at 9:00 a.m. features long-time All Saints friend, Bishop Gene Robinson in conversation with our own Thomas Diaz — as we mark the 20th anniversary year of Bishop Gene’s election and consecration as the 9th Bishop of New Hampshire. Don’t miss this chance to be both inspired and informed by one of the leading voices for LGBTQ+ inclusion of our generation.

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

This Sunday we have two Featured Ministries: Women’s Community and the LGBTQ+ Ministry:

All Saints Women’s Community’s activities provide opportunities for women to come together for reflection, education, inspiration, action and fun. The Women’s Community creates a nurturing environment for spiritual growth and gives voice to issues of critical importance. All women who attend All Saints Church are members of Women’s Community. Please visit their table on the lawn to see their list of Upcoming Events.

Our LGBTQ+ Ministry offers opportunities throughout the year to gather as a community committed to joy and healing — particularly for those who have been rejected by the church because of who they are or who they love. Whoever you are and wherever you find yourself on the journey of faith, there is a place for you here at All Saints Church — where we believe that being gay, transgender, or queer in any way is an expression of the wonderful diversity of God’s creation. Join us as we celebrate LGBTQ+ lives and live into our history of moving beyond inclusion to celebration — organizing and mobilizing to continue to change the future. Visit the LGBTQ+ Ministry’s webpage at https://allsaints-pas.org/ministries/lgbtq-at-all-saints/, and browse through the incredible list of resources linked to it.

11:30 a.m.-12:15 p.m. on the Quad Lawn, join us for Latin Hour. Following the 10:00 a.m. service there will be a congregational reception on the lawn, including Latin Hour music, food, and fellowship.

Then from 12:15 – 1:15 p.m. in the Church, come to our Annual Meeting, Part 2, which will include the 2023 Budget presentation and a preview of a video-in-progress that looks back at the last three years of the work and witness of All Saints Church — being produced by communications director Keith Holeman.

Finally, from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m., in Sweetland Hall, the Interfaith Study Group will hold its Ramadan Reflection. The Interfaith Study Group is sponsored by: All Saints Church, Pasadena, Islamic Center of Southern Ca. Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center.

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.
