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 Nina Scherer at nscherer@allsaints-pas.org.

At 11:30 a.m. in Sweetland Hall — Small Group: A Lenten Journey Navigating the Deep Waters of Sorrow and Loss
Led by Jonathan Stoner and Marianne Ryan. This small group discusses psychotherapist and soul activist Francis Weller’s The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief. Together we will probe and challenge the darkness to discover the intimate bond between grief and gratitude, sorrow and intimacy, and how the greatest gifts are often hidden in the things we avoid. Each week we will utilize powerful tools and rituals from Weller’s book to help us transform our grief into a force that allows us to live and love more fully. Register here.

Continuing this Sunday, and you still can join — Getting Connected Class
12:00 – 1:30 p.m., four more Sundays, February 25 through March 24 in the Learning Center. This five-week class is designed for anyone – from brand new explorers to longtime seekers – interested in exploring the essence of All Saints Church and getting more connected through active engagement. Each class consists of a presentation by a staff member and lay leader followed by a small group experience. Together we consider the core values of All Saints Church and develop a sense of belonging as we build connections to individuals, ministries and groups. Please register here, or contact Ana Camacho at acamacho@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.

Finally, at 5:00 p.m. on the Chancel — Jazz Vespers with Russell Ferrante
All Saints Parishioner, founding member of the YellowJackets, Russell Ferrante’s first exposure to music came from his church, where his father was the choir director as well as being a frequent vocal soloist and having a vocal gospel quartet. He began piano lessons at 9 with the expectation that one day he would be the church pianist… but his musical interests took him elsewhere. Russ has performed with Jimmy Witherspoon, Jim Pepper, Joe Farrell, Joni Mitchell, Bobby McFerrin, Robben Ford, Al Jarreau, Marilyn Scott, Kevyn Lettau, Ernie Watts, Sadao Watanabe, GRP, Big Band, Lee Ritenour, Tom Scott, Take 6, Michael Franks, Eric Marienthal, and Brenda Russell.

• 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.
