Adult Formation

LIFELONG

FORMATION

begins with a

single prayer

Every Sunday morning at 9am, All Saints' now offers (starting September 7, 2025) three ways to pray. (Actually four ways, if you include choir members at 9am choir rehearsal since they pray every time they sing). No prior experience necessary, just a willing heart and mind. Join us wherever you feel called — or try all three on different Sundays.

Rosary Prayer 

Sundays at 9AM in St. Mary’s Chapel

Led by Ken Mosesian

Praying the Rosary lasts about 20 - 25 minutes, and helps to calm and center your mind through this ancient devotional focused on the Great Mysteries in the life of Jesus Christ. Rosary prayer beads and service booklets are provided. 

 

Centering Prayer

Sundays at 9AM in the Chapel of the Holy Innocents. 

Led by Fr. Daniel Collier and Sara Soller

The Practice of Centering Prayer familiarizes us with God’s first language – SILENCE. This method of silent prayer serves to

prepare one to receive the gifts of God’s presence. It is simple yet profound in its effects.

 

Coffee and Conversation

Sundays at 9AM in the St. Barbara Rooms

A chance to connect with and get to know the clergy and one another. Each week, the preacher for the following weekend will be part of the conversation to ask the members of the All Saints’ community what they hear or wonder about in the appointed lessons—to get some communal input for next week’s sermon. 

 


 


Education Offerings

Second Sundays: Once a month at 9am in the St. Barbara Rooms, we will plan and organize an informational session focused on the ministry or the business of the church. This is when you should expect updates from key ministry partners, Vestry Forums, even our Annual Meeting (currently scheduled for Feb. 8, the Second Sunday in February). No Second Sunday on May 10 (for the moms). MARCH 8 Second Sunday - Learn about the Televerde Foundation.
