Sunday, January 26 — Faith, Formation & Fellowship: Grief in Many Forms: Healing Together in a Time of Uncertainty
9:00 a.m. in the Guild Room. In the wake of the devastating Los Angeles fires and the aftermath of the 2024 election, our city and nation are grappling with profound loss and uncertainty. As people navigate displacement, fear, and exhaustion, many are experiencing a deep sense of grief and anxiety. Jonathan Stoner will offer space to reflect on the emotional toll of these events and explore ways we can foster resilience and hope within our communities. Together, we’ll discuss the complex mix of emotions—from frustration and anxiety to determination and a call to action—and consider how we can process these feelings in ways that lead to meaningful engagement and support.

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.

The Way of Love
11:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. in the Guild Room
. The Way of Love is a way of life. The Way of Love program draws you into a deeper and richer relationship with God through the incorporation of spiritual practices into your daily life. It explores the practices of returning to / finding God again, scripture, prayer, worship, going beyond our boundaries, how we bless others, and rest. More than a program or a curriculum, it is an intentional commitment to a set of practices. It’s a commitment to follow Jesus: Turn, Learn, Pray, Worship, Bless, Go, Rest. Register online here.

Information Meeting for All Parents and Youth 10th-12th Grade Interested in SEEKERS
12:00 p.m. in the Learning Center.
Light lunch will be served! The Seekers program is our confirmation class at All Saints, but it’s also about exploring your faith with others who are also on their own faith journeys. It’s a chance to ask questions, share your thoughts, and figure things out alongside others. Plus, we promise it won’t just be a bunch of lectures—there’s definitely space for real conversations and fun. By the end of the program, you’ll have the chance to decide whether confirmation is the right step for you, or if you want to receive a blessing instead.

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.
