This week’s Featured Ministry is our LGBTQ+ Ministry. Our mission as the LGBTQ+ Ministry is to build a safe and diverse community, to provide an affirming space to explore both our sexual and gender identities concerning our faith and other identities, and, through education and activism, to bring about Radical Inclusion both at All Saints and on the broader world. Visit us on the lawn after the service!
Children’s Chapel and Family Hour are on summer break until July 16th, when it will return in-person. For information please contact Ahren Martinez at amartinez@allsaints-pas.org.

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 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.
