We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS: From the Rector: This Sunday is Pentecost. The reason we are here is the gift of the Holy Spirit. It is the gift from God that changed a group of scared followers of Jesus into the Church as we know it. It is God’s Spirit that caused them to not only unlock the doors, but open them. It is God’s Spirit that caused them to not only step out, but to burst out proclaiming a new message of hope and relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ. The Church was founded this day and the world was changed forever. Please join us as we celebrate. Also, our last Film & Theology event is this Sunday at 5:00 pm in the Parish Hall. We are showing the movie “St. Vincent”. We’ll have a pot luck supper afterward during our discussion. Please bring a meat, side or dessert to share. Popcorn and drinks will be provided.

We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS: From the Rector: Have you thought about serving on Sunday as a lay minister? Have you watched the acolytes and chalice bearers, listened to the lectors and prayer intercessors, or looked to an usher and said to yourself, I’d like to do that! Please email me at rector@allsaintsclinton.org if you are the slightest bit interested. We will make sure to find the right ministry for you and provide training. We are also looking for those with the ability to read another language.

We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS: From the Rector: Here at All Saints’, pastoral care is central to our common life. At its heart is God’s love which we share with one another. We do it well; it’s in our DNA this desire to reach out to those in need. To continue to do this work well, I’d like to centralize our work so that we don’t miss an opportunity to respond. To that end, I ask that we all use my email address rector@allsaintsclinton.org to communicate pastoral needs within the parish. If you know of anyone who is sick, hurt, grieving, or needs a meal please use this address so I can add them to my prayers. It also allows me to follow up with any additional needs. My hope is to facilitate the work we do in pastoral care together so that coordination is done effectively and no one is overlooked or missed. I’m so grateful for the remarkable work the committee does. Christian formation is up and running. Sunday I will lead a class in the Parish Hall on writing icons. We will be examining the techniques used to create icons as done in the 14th and 15th centuries. I hope this will prove to be a fascinating presentation. We plan to show the movie “St. Vincent” with Bill Murray as our next Film & Theology presentation on Pentecost Sunday, May 20th at 5:00 pm.

All Saints’ Episcopal Church We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS: From the Rector: Thank you all for all the work that went into Palm Sunday. It was a wonderful day as we enter into Holy Week and as we welcome Jan Melara into our parish. This week is central to our common life and faith. Throughout this week, we tell the story of Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem; his gathering with his disciples for the Seder and the institution of the Eucharist on Maundy Thursday; his betrayal and crucifixion on Good Friday. Be present this week. Be present for Maundy Thursday. Be present for Good Friday. Be present and wait breathlessly for the truth found in an empty tomb.

We welcome, serve and love all unconditionally through Jesus Christ THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS: From the Rector: This week we have many opportunities to gather and renew our life in Christ together. Our final Lenten Evening Prayer service is tonight at 6:00 pm here at All Saints. Paul Abernathy will preach. Please join us for a soup supper afterwards. This Sunday, March 25th is Palm Sunday. It begins for us Holy Week, the most important week in our faith, as we walk with Christ into Jerusalem and hear again the Passion Gospel of his death. We also welcome our Bishop. We begin this Sunday at 9:30 am with a forum led by the bishop. He will be discussing Christian maturity in the age of alienation. See the description below from Bishop Waldo. “That we live in a time of deep change, polarization and alienation has become all too evident. We sometimes avoid any conversation with friends, family or colleagues on touchy subjects just to keep the peace, creating even greater distance from others with whom we otherwise long to be in productive and hopeful relationships. Scripture calls us as disciples of Jesus to bear witness to another way. Join Bishop Waldo in a conversation that puts the tools of mature Christian discipleship at the heart of our daily coming and going in the world—regardless of our secular politics or ideologies—and our ability to proclaim the good news of God in Christ Jesus to a broken world.” There will be name tags available. Please take time to wear one as it will help us welcome our bishop. The vestry will have an opportunity to gather with him following coffee hour. I hope you will join us for this special day in the life of All Saints.
