During the COVID-19 Disruption
from Father Stephen
The church is closed and all church activities (except for online services) have been suspended until further notice. Staff have been advised to use their own discretion on whether to work from the church office or from home. With that in mind, Paula will be in the office some days. Please call to make sure she is there if you have business with the office. Feel free to make contact via email:
all-saints@live.com.
Along with many clergy in the diocese, I fall into the high risk category, therefore it is not appropriate that I make any pastoral calls. However, I am available by phone,
should you want to talk with me.
These are trying times for all of us, especially now that many small businesses have been mandated to close. I encourage your prayers for those who have been infected by COVID-19, for those whose jobs are in jeopardy, and for those of our community of all ages who are confined to their homes.
Fr. Stephen
Almighty God, we entrust all who are dear to unto thy never-failing care and love, for this life, and the life to come, knowing that thou art doing for them better things than we can desire or pray for; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

A Prayer for the Search Committee
Almighty God, you graciously meet us in all the avenues of our life. In this period of transition, look kindly on the people of All Saints as we seek a new Rector. Grant the members of the Search Committee discerning and inquiring hearts. Gift the people of the parish with listening hearts that they may truly hear each other. Touch those priests seeking a new ministry, and by your Holy Spirit bring all things together, through your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.
A new report from the Rector Search Committee is available -- find by clicking the appropriate tab "Rector Search" in the search bar
at the top of the page!

Father Stephen's Weekly Message
Dear friends,
I believe it was the author Umberto Eco who suggested that books speak to books. In other words, they seek to answer a question. One might easily say that of the Gospels in the New Testament. The particular question the gospels try to answer is: ”Who is Jesus?" That was certainly the question behind the gospel lesson for last Sunday - the miracle of the Feeding of the Five Thousand.
One could easily say the question is answered in a very dramatic way in the Gospel lesson for this coming Sunday, the story in the gospel of Matthew of Jesus stilling the storm and walking on water. Like the Transfiguration, which we celebrated a few days ago, the miracle of Jesus walking across the water is an epiphany for the disciples, showing who Jesus really is: the chosen of God.
But the miracle of Jesus walking on the water and stilling the storm is also a story about faith - the faith of the Apostle Peter who tried to walk across the water towards Jesus, and our faith in Jesus stilling the storms of our lives.
I look forward to seeing you via our on-line service at 10 am on Sunday when I offer further thoughts on one of the lessons for this coming Sunday.
Blessings,
Fr. Stephen+
