Check out our offerings and services for Lent, Holy Week and Easter here.
​
Maundy Thursday: April 17 at 7pm
Rooted in Jesus' command to his disciples to love one another as he has loved them and his institution of the Eucharist as a sign of unity in Christ, this service will include music—featuring selections from Taizé—Holy Communion, a simple stripping of the altar, and a silent procession as we enter the solemnity of Good Friday.
​
Good Friday: April 18 at 12pm and 7pm
On this solemn day, we refrain from celebrating the Eucharist, instead centering our worship on the cross through the reading of the Passion Narrative and the solemn collects. The service begins and ends in silence. We will have two service times, 12pm and 7pm. At the 7pm service we will revive a long-standing All Saints tradition with a presentation of J.H. Maunder’s Olivet to Calvary. The combined choirs will be joined by soloists Chase Peak and Jason Brown, with Daniel Stipe accompanying on the organ. First performed at All Saints in 1920, Olivet to Calvary was an annual tradition for over 70 years, continuing into the early 1990s. We look forward to hearing its familiar strains once again resonate within our church walls! For more information, please click here!

Easter Egg Hunt: April 19 at 10am
A beloved Easter tradition for kids and families. Join us in the courtyard for crafts, treats, and age-specific Easter Egg Hunts boasting over 1500 eggs! Just bring your family, an Easter Basket of some kind, and a friend. Kids can also take home some bunny bait to leave out for the Easter Bunny!
Easter Vigil + Baptism: April 19 at 8pm
If you have never experienced the Easter Vigil, this is the year to do it! We will gather in the dark, and the service features light and fire as well as placing the story of our faith in context through a series of readings from the Old Testament. We light a new fire, process the Paschal Candle (the light of Christ), we will proclaim that Christ is Risen and renew our baptismal vows, and we will celebrate the first Eucharist of Easter. The setting is very dramatic and while the service is longer than usual, it is very powerful. While the service is indoors, we will meet outside in the parking lot (outside of the narthex) before going inside.
​
Easter Sunday: April 20, 8am and 10:30am
The 8am Rite I Easter Eucharist will feature trumpet and the Choral Scholars and the 10:30am Rite II Easter Eucharist will feature a trumpet duo and timpani. We will have a children’s sermon at the 10:30am service. Wear your Easter Bonnet and join us for either of these traditional festival services! For the 10:30am service, please bring some flowers or greenery from your yard to help flower our large cross!
​
Men's Club Dinner + Speaker: April 21 at 6pm

VBS: June 9-13
Join us for an awesome ROAD TRIP at All Saints June 9th-13th from 9 am to 12 pm! ROAD TRIP will be a blend of Bible stories, music, art, outdoor recreation, and even science for a fun and active week for children ages 3 - rising fifth grade. Rising 5th graders will experience a mission-based week with more information to follow. Rising 6th graders have options this year - they can either be part of the special mission-based week with the 5th graders, or they can sign up to volunteer as helpers. Those rising 6th graders who were part of this special week last year can join in again if they bring a friend. Signup for VBS here.

Join the Saintly Stitchers
If you like doing needlework (or not) and like the idea of joining others in the library for a time to just be social while knitting, needlepointing, cross stitching, crocheting, (or none of those), then Saintly Stitchers is for you. We meet on Wednesdays at 2 pm and invite any and all to come sit with us. Stop by each week or when you can. If you would like to share in our prayer square ministry, we have members eager to teach you. Yarn and needles provided.
​
Are You OK?
Our Congregational Care Team wants you to contact a member of the team, Winston, or Ben+ if you or someone you love needs pastoral care or attention. As a community of Saints and friends, we believe in the power of prayer and being there to support you during challenging times. If you are ill, having surgery, hospitalized, mourning, or just struggling with something, please do not hesitate to reach out to the church office. We are here to bring you a meal, extend a helping hand, lend an attentive ear, and offer prayers. We want you to be OK, and help in any way we can.
