Sunday, June 27 is the Fifth Sunday After Pentecost and the Second Sunday Back to In-Person Worship at All Saints Church! As we return to in-person worship, our guiding principle remains to continue to follow common sense risk reduction guidance for as long as we remain in a declared public health pandemic. To continue to keep our community safe and well, in-person worship will resume with the following guidelines:
- 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.
- Masks are required at all times — both indoors and outdoors — on the All Saints campus.
- 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 that masks will be worn by all to protect the most vulnerable.
- Those seated indoors are asked to maintain six feet distance between individuals/households.
- If we reach seating capacity in the church, ushers will guide you to alternative seating areas.
Our Sunday Morning Live livestream will continue at this link, beginning with the Rector’s Forum at 10 a,m,: https://allsaints-pas.org/live-stream/
The Rector’s Forum @ 10 a.m.: Living the Blessing with Erin Weber-Johnson
In our everyday lives, the word “bless” usually is limited to a mere formality after a sneeze or used as a veiled insult (“Bless her heart”). In the wake of syndemic crises from the past 2020-21, the power to bless holds poignant promise and opportunity. As we collectively move beyond physical survival, blessing is a powerful tool found throughout the scriptures of giving up one’s power and shifting systems of inequity. Darren Walker, Ford Foundation, notes this moment in 2021 is one where we are called “Not to ask what we could give back, but give up” in order to experience justice. This lens of “blessing” sparks philanthropic imagination and re-imagines stewardship as giving for repair of the world. Join Mike Kinman and Erin Weber-Johnson for this discussion of blessing and ethical strewardship.
Chapel Time:
Our Meditative Chapel aims to be a liminal space between the hustle of life and household and a more tranquil, worshipful mindset. We’ll have a reading and a moment of meditation, you’ll just need yourself and a candle if you have one. The link will be posted on the Live Streaming page on Sunday morning.
