On Sunday, May 29th, All Saints Church celebrates the Seventh Sunday of Easter – both in person and online – with three services at 7:30, 9:00 and 11:30 a.m.
Sally Howard preaches at the 7:30 a.m. service in the chapel. Mike Kinman will preach at 9:00 & 11:30 a.m. where music will be offered by Canterbury Choir. At all services we will offer a special Litany for the End of Gun Violence.
During the services at 9:00 and 11:30 we will create a very tangible moment of offering and prayer by creating a flower bouquet of prayers. Everyone is invited to bring a single flower to church and place it in a vase on the altar. Parishioners can bring a flower from their garden, or we will have flowers in baskets available for those who don’t have a yard or couldn’t bring a flower. You are invited to place your flower offering in a vase before the service begins. The flowers can be in memory of the children who died, or prayers of protection for loved ones, or a sign of hope in all the darkness.… whatever they mean to you. Praying with flowers on the altar will be inclusive to people of all ages, and it is our hope that especially our children will connect to this sacred action.
At 10:15 a.m. The Forum will explore one of our core values: “Radical Inclusion.”
Also at 10:15 a.m. Children’s Minister Ben Boquist will preside over Family Hour — offering music, art & fun in the Learning Center.
Following the 11:30 service, join us on Zoom for an Online Coffee Hour — hosted this week by Greeter Jenn McGaw.
Streaming at 7:00, 9:00 and 11:30 a.m. 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.

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:
- Medical-grade Masks are required at all times indoors on the All Saints campus.
- 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) and we require that masks be worn by all to protect the most vulnerable.
- 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.
