Communion To Go
For this season of Advent and Christmas, we have the opportunity to bring communion to your home altar. If you wish to share communion with us during Advent and Christmas virtual worship, you may order “communion to-go” from the church! This is how it will work . . .
“Communion To Go” will be consecrated at the Wednesday Healing service and placed into individual ziploc bags with your name and some instructions for the proper care and handling of the sacrament.
Pick up your home communion on Nov. 28, Dec. 3, Dec. 10, or Dec. 17 at noon in the Patrick Street Parking lot. If you cannot pick it up - let us know in the sign-up and we will make arrangements to get communion to you.
Store communion at your home altar until Sunday morning. Before the worship service place the sacrament on a plate and when we share communion online, join us sharing the sacrament at home.
Advent Offerings
Advent is here! As we enter into this season of darkness, waiting and watching for the light to be born, there are many different ways that you can participate in your journey towards Christmas. We recognize that some of us need a simple touch point each day, and others are looking for deep community conversation and reflection. Some of us need to retreat and others are longing for a way to gather. Some of us are exhausted and others are feeling cabin fever.
In the midst of the darkness of this pandemic, we recognize that no one has the energy to carry anything too heavy. We invite you to put the heaviness down. Pack light for this journey. Kindle our light in the darkness. Walk towards the Light of the world.
2021 Stewardship Campaign: Doing What Love Requires
Presiding Bishop Michael Curry reminds us that God is Love, so we must ask ourselves and our communities “What would love do?” As we answer this question, we focus on the ways we can respond in love to the needs around us. “Doing What Love Requires” includes the continued financial support of All Saints’, pledging our work, wisdom, and wealth. Prayerfully consider your financial pledge so that we can continue to embody the resurrection story and make a positive difference in our community and beyond. Click our button to make your pledge and Do What Love Requires.

News
Take a look at this week's announcements from All Saints':
Community Conversations about Racism: Hosted by Asbury UM and All Saints'
Join us Thursday nights at 7pm for our weekly zoom conversation about our local experience of racism. Through sharing our stories in this brave space of trust and love we are discovering relationships that can heal this world. We have returned to our original format, watching a video clip together or reflecting on a text and then spending the rest of the time in conversation about the material and a question it raises for us.
See you on zoom!
Keeping the Body Healthy and Connected here at All Saints'
In response to directives and guidance from Governor Hogan and Bishop Sutton, and in conversation with our staff and leadership, we have made several changes to our operations.
Learn more on our Staying Connected page
At All Saints’, public worship will cease beginning Sunday, March 15, 2020, including Sunday and Wednesday weekly worship. We will increase our virtual offerings during this time, including Morning and Evening Prayer, Compline, Healing Prayer, and Sunday worship.
In addition to our spiritual offerings, the National Cathedral will live-stream worship each Sunday at 11:15 am.
To ensure the safety of our community and do our part to "flatten the curve," our staff is working remotely for the foreseeable future. For immediate assistance, email our staff or reach out via cell, and they will do their best to assist you remotely. We will have inconsistent access to our physical mail, so please do as much correspondence as you can through email. If you have a pastoral emergency, please call the church office for automated instructions to reach the clergy-on-call.
We have also chosen to suspend all church events effective March 13, 2020. This includes all in-person meetings, both on- and off-site. We encourage our leaders to get creative, and use zoom, chat, phone, and video meetings to their advantage. Now more than ever, this is a time for us to stay connected even as we increase physical distance. If you are part of a small group or ministry, we encourage you to check in with one another.
Our building will be closed to all outside groups and rentals beginning Monday, March 16, 2020. We are giving our groups an opportunity over the weekend to connect with their participants. This decision does not come lightly, and we are striving to balance the needs of the individual groups that have found a home at All Saints’ with the needs of our wider global community.
May God’s loving embrace quell our anxiety and inspire us to care for one another, and all those in need in our wider community.
Yours in God’s peace,
Mtr. Adrien & Rev. Jess
