In the Healing Service you are invited to come forward and experience the laying on of hands — an ancient tradition in the church and a powerful experience. As we begin the year, let go of the past, whatever it has been, and welcome the new year. Also during the service, prayer shawls knitted and crocheted by members of our community will be presented and blessed.
Walk the Labyrinth on Healing Sunday
8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in Sweetland Hall. Revive your soul and renew your spirit this Healing Sunday by walking the Labyrinth, an ancient meditative practice. Step onto this sacred path and experience the Spirit’s presence reaching out to you. The Labyrinth is a powerful metaphor for our shared journey of healing and wholeness. There’s nothing to learn or figure out—simply put one foot in front of the other and allow the blessings of the walk to unfold. All are welcome to come, walk, and be refreshed.
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! For information please contact Merry Simkins at msimkins@allsaints-pas.org.

Every Sunday at 4:00 p.m. on Zoom — Reclaiming the Bible
This is “bible study” with a difference. Our goal will be to heal and move beyond the misunderstanding, confusion, hurtful interpretation, oppression, and other ways our bible has been used against us. Jesus is the Word of God, and God’s Word is one of love, hope, and reconciliation. This is the bible we’ll strive together to come home to in this small group study. Facilitated by Dr. Charles Foster. Contact Dr. Foster at drcharlesfoster@icloud.com for Zoom access.
Streaming at 9:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (and for other streamed services and events) is offered on our website’s live stream page, our Facebook page and our YouTube channel. Check out our live streaming page to download service leaflets and take part in our action of the week.
