Dear Friends in Christ,
We are fast approaching the festival of Jesus' incarnation. For many, the joy of this season is mixed with a range of emotions, from stress to anxiety to grief. At this sacred yet sometimes complicated time, I invite you to sit in wonder at the original meaning of Christmas: that God would deign to take on human flesh and dwell among us as one of us, to feel and understand the complexity of being human. Our Christmas liturgies are intended to worship God and put us in right relationship with Jesus Christ. There are ample opportunities to take part in this life of worship at All Saints' Church, beginning with our observance of the Fourth Sunday of Advent this Sunday at 10am. Christmas Eve celebrations take place at 4pm and 10pm, followed by our Christmas Day Eucharist at 10am. I hope to see you here at All Saints' Church! In Christ’s love, The Rev. Steven D. Paulikas Rector For more information on upcoming Christmas events, click here.  The All Saints' Christmas Pageant is coming up this Sunday, December 16 during the 10am Eucharist. It will feature some of All Saints' most adorable young parishioners, and a few special cameos from Wise People you might recognize. Hope to see you Sunday!

Dear Friends,
While the world burdens itself with a hurried and pre-emptive Christmas, we at All Saints' are waiting in quiet expectation for the coming of a Savior during this holy season of Advent. Please take a look at all the ways to refresh your soul in the next few weeks in our parish home. Also, the parish-wide Christmas mailing should hit your mailboxes in the next few days. If you don't receive a Christmas envelope for whatever reason and would like to make a gift of Christmas flowers in honor of a loved one, please pick up an envelope at the back of the church or email the parish office and make an online donation at allsaintsparkslope.org/giving. Names must be received by December 18 to be included in the Christmas bulletins. May God continue to bless you in this Advent season! The Rev. Steven D. Paulikas Rector Click here for more information about our Christmas Pageant, Advent Lessons and Carols and Cookie Swap and more! |
