October 31 is an “all treats, no tricks” Sunday at All Saints Church … as we add Halloween festivities to our Sunday celebration. We invite the young and young at heart to wear a costume to church – and after the 9:00 and 11:30 a.m. services there will be opportunities for all ages to Trick or Treat on the quad lawn and enjoy a Halloween story corner. At 10:15 a.m. our October Forum series on Public Health concludes with a community discussion on what we’ve heard and learned together over the past month. What does public health mean to you? To us? What is our experience of the pandemic teaching us? What does it mean for All Saints to be a healthy community and for us to live holy, healthy lives. Join us in-person and online as we discuss these things and more …. and also talk about the experience of these last three weeks and your thoughts about what you want from The Forum in the future.
Join us in person in the Forum or online from 10:15-11:15 a.m.

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:
- 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 we require that masks be worn by all to protect the most vulnerable.
- 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.
