Dear Beloved Saints:
Grace and peace from God the Creator, Christ the Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit the Sustainer. Lots of activity going on at All Saints. The garden is flourishing as are the bees. Ministry blooms in this season. Please remember to invite your family and friends to worship with us, in person or online. It is an easy thing to do using social media. Need help extending an invitation? Help is available. Just ask!
Pastor Shannon is away again this week. Rev. Jeff Jacobson will be our pastor for the day. Pastor Wendy Deeben will service as the on-call pastor while Pastor Angela is away.
Attached is the bulletin for July 24 2022, Seventh Sunday after Pentecost, we will have hybrid worship this Sunday with both in-person worship and virtual worship available. For in-person worship, please sign-in when you arrive. Masks are required. If you have been exposed to COVID or are not feeling well, please stay home. Everyone is asked to turn in a COVID waiver if you have not done so yet. Copies will be attached to the bulletin emails and available at the church when you come. Wristbands will be available for people to indicate the level of contact they will be comfortable with while attending church.
COMMUNION OPTIONS DURING WORSHIP: Since the COVID rates have decreased, we now offer two options for communion. You can either choose to receive communion around the altar or you can continue receiving communion at your seat utilizing one of the prefilled communion kits. If you want to receive communion at the altar, please pick up an empty cup for wine, or a prefilled cup of grape juice, as you come to the Lord’s Table by the center aisle. If you are seated on the right side, please approach the altar from the center aisle and move around to the center at the back of the altar platform. Stand to the left of the person in front of you in line. If you are seated on the left side, please approach the altar from the center aisle and move to the center at the front of the altar platform. Stand to the left of the person in front of you in line. You may place the used cup in the empty tray at the front of each side aisle as you return to your seat.
