Our 10 AM Holy Eucharist is a Rite II service featuring our choir, children's chapel, and fully vested liturgical ministers.

Our 8 AM Holy Eucharist service is similar to the 5 PM liturgically, but hosts Rosary Prayer, Centering Prayer, and other formation opportunities afterward.

Wednesday 12 PM

Our Healing Service features anointing along with the Eucharist, and is followed by a brown bag lunch.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

 

Here at All Saints’, we believe all people — regardless of gender, political ideology, race, sexuality, marital state or economic status —  are called to walk their own unique path toward God. We draw on two thousand years of tradition to help us navigate what community looks like in a polarized time, and we think it’s pretty simple, but wholly radical: no matter who you are, no matter where you’ve been, God knows you and loves you. We want to, also.  

 

So how do we live this out at All Saints’? We read the Bible, we praise God’s creation and celebrate the Eucharist each Sunday. We pray for and with each other, we love and serve our neighbors as ourselves. We play together — whether during Joyful July, at trivia nights, or over a meal — and thank God for good friendship. 

While the community spectrum at All Saints’ is wide, we hold ourselves accountable — are we being generous? Are we being courageous? Are we inspiring joy? In short, are we striving to be the saint God called us to be?

 

There are no exceptions to God’s call. By following Jesus Christ in holy community, we believe we may discern that call better, growing gradually in faith, love, and hope, to become the saint God wants us to be.

"Will you continue in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers?"

-The Episcopal Baptismal Covenant


In the Christian tradition, contemplative prayer is considered to be the pure gift of God.

It is an opening of mind and heart, our whole being  to God, the Ultimate Mystery,

beyond thoughts, words, and emotions. It is simply resting in the presence of God.

 

Like all Christian prayer, contemplative prayer is rooted in the word of God in scripture

and in the person of Jesus Christ. Its source is the indwelling Trinity; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

God in unconditional LOVE takes the initiative in relation to us.

At the same time our desire for God  is also God's gift to us.

 


Centering Prayer

Sunday Mornings 9am

Thursday Evenings 6pm

In the Chapel of the Holy Innocents


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.


The Mystics Study Group

Thursday Evenings 6:30pm

In the Chapel of the Holy Innocents



We use the study of the Mystics throughout history as a guide. These people lived the Contemplative life in search of God’s constant presence. We can learn about deepening our own spiritual lives through their example and testimony. Our first book to read and discuss: The Naked Now, by The Rev. Richard Rohr.
