New! Middle School Sunday School Class Launches September 8

Our brand new Sunday School class for all Middle School students starts September 8 in the Multi-Purpose Room. Each week, we’ll explore aspects of our Christian faith through the Sunday readings, our liturgy, and other Anglican traditions. Join us for activities, snacks, and lively discussions as we grow in faith together!

New Fall 2024 Sunday School Offerings for Adults and Youth Begin September 8

For Adults:

Come along with Josh Moore as he leads us through Henri Nouwen’s book The Genesee Diary beginning Sunday, September 8 in the Bishop’s Conference Room.

On finding that, in the clutter of his life, his intimacy with God was lacking, Nouwen spent several months living as a temporary monk at The Abbey of the Genesee in upstate New York. He hoped that there, free from the other distractions of his life, he could spend his time in undistracted work, worship, and meditative prayer.

Copies of The Genesee Diary will be available on the first day of class for $10. Used copies costing around $5 can also be purchased from Amazon or ThriftBooks.

Bible 101 is a revised course offered this fall for eight weeks beginning September 8 between services in the Administrative Conference Room. Led by Walt DeHoust, this class will introduce participants to the entire Bible using the central framework of the “Kingdom of God.”

The Kingdom of God is defined as God’s people, in God’s place, enjoying God’s rule and blessing. The course will be a composite overview with occasional “stop-offs” for a closer look at God’s kingdom. The intent is to give participants a greater understanding of the central message of the Bible and the relationship between the Old and New Testaments, and a stronger confidence in personal Bible study.

Statement from ACNA Provincial Assembly Youth Delegates

“… We value what unites us and we want to be intentional to persist in love when we disagree. We want to stay in fellowship with each other and not allow our differences to divide us….”

All Saints’ own Reilly Pachecano (fourth from left) was a youth delegate to Provincial Assembly, which met last month. The delegation published its statement on July 12:

“We, the youth delegates of Assembly 2024, love the Anglican tradition and find depth, beauty, and meaning in the Anglican way of formation, mission, and worship. We value the high emphasis on scripture and the way the cross is central. We look forward to ways that young people can continue to connect with other Anglicans, with local churches outside our denomination, and those in our communities for the sake of the Gospel…. ”
