Adult Formation

Adults have a variety of options, from Sunday morning forum gatherings
to small groups, workshops, book studies, and retreats.

New Adult Formation "Dignity: Seven Strategies for Creating an Authentic Community"

Let's start 2026 becoming a better Beloved Community. The All Saints Truth & Reconciliation Committee will be hosting this adult formation using Sarah-Beth Wright's book, Dignity: Seven Strategies for Creating an Authentic Community, as our guide. This hands-on workshop will require us to be reflective about who we are and what we value as a congregation and to create ways to focus our attention on the wider Frederick Community. All are welcome! Books will be provided. This class will meet in the Large Conference Room. Contact Tracy Boyd at if you are interested.

Serving in Worship

Worship requires many hands and hearts and bodies to make
all the pieces come together effortlessly and smoothly, maybe you are called to serve in this way?

  • Usher – assist to prepare the worship space, welcome people into worship, count the number of people present, collect the offering, manage traffic to and from the altar table for communion and generally keep order flowing.
  • Verger – assist the clergy to prepare the worship space and the various individuals who are serving on that Sunday.  Making sure that everyone is present, and if not, substitutes are found to read, serve the chalice.
  • Lectors – read the scripture lessons from the Old and New Testaments and offer the prayers of the people.
  • Chalice Bearers – gather at the altar table for the Eucharistic prayer and serve the chalice to the congregation when we come forward to for communion.
  • Acolytes – keep the lights lit in the worship space, carry torches, the cross, and swing the thurible of incense whenever we have a special day in the church calendar.
  • Altar Guild – prepares the altar and chancel for every worship service so that the leaders and the congregation have everything they need to let worship unfold. They are a ministry that exists in the background, if they are doing their job well, you never even know they were there.

  • Music – In addition to our Adult Sanctuary choir, we also have a hand bell choir known as “All Saints Ringers.” The vocal choirs and handbell choir support our worship and perform at special services and concerts throughout the year. All Saints music also features prominently at Frederick’s annual Candlelight Tour of Historic Houses of Worship. The Adult Choir rehearses during the program year, Thursdays at 7:30PM – 9PM. 

  • Child Care – With God as our center and parents as our partners, our ultimate goal is to come alongside you and begin to plant the seeds of faith in the hearts and minds of our youngest children. Our preschool / nursery are open from 8:30 am to 11:30 am on Sunday mornings.  You may pack a drink and snack (no peanuts, please)
