On Sunday, April 3 All Saints Church observes the Fifth Sunday in Lent with in-person and online worship at 7:30, 9:00 and 11:30 a.m. Alfredo Feregrino will preach at 7:30 and Mark Chase will be in the pulpit at 9:00 & 11:30 a.m. – where music will be offered by Canterbury Choir with soloist Stephen McDonough.
At 10:15 a.m. we welcome activist, author and long-time friend of All Saints Andre Henry to The Forum to share his new book All the White Friends I Couldn’t Keep. In this personal and thought-provoking book, Henry explores how the historical divides between Black people and non-Black people are expressed through our most mundane interactions, and why this struggle won’t be resolved through civil discourse, diversity hires, interracial relationships, or education – calling for a revolution that moves beyond symbolic progress to disrupt systems of racial violence and inequality in tangible, creative ways.

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:
- Medical-grade Masks are required at all times indoors on the All Saints campus.
- UPDATE: 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) and we require that masks be worn by all to protect the most vulnerable.
- 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.
