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.

Father Stephen's Weekly Message
Dear Saints of All Saints,
The gospel lesson for this coming Sunday is the Parable of the Sower, a story about frustration, but also about God’s abundant grace. The road of life, it is said, is paved with frustrations, and no more so than in the life of the church. This certainly could be said of All Saints. As the search for a new rector got underway, COVID-19 struck. At the time when parish life was beginning to show signs of growth and activity, we had to close the church. At a time when the parish needed to project its best image to the world, we found ourselves having to come to terms with the mystery of Zoom
and Facebook Live.
But God’s grace always abounds. In the process of planning for the re-opening of the church, new ministries are beginning emerge. We are about to engage a consultant to help us revitalise the parish web site and Facebook page, so that we present our best image to the wider world. This is where you, the parishioner who tunes in to Zoom or Facebook Live each Sunday can play your part.
Consider this: when the parish profile is made public, one of the first things priests interested in applying to All Saints will likely do is tune in to the Sunday service on zoom or Facebook live and see how many people are “tuned in.” As of this past week, between 35 and 40 each Sunday watch our service live. We could have twice as many. So while we prepare to return to church, call your fellow parishioners, and if they are not already doing so, encourage them to tune in, not just for themselves, but for the church. Do not allow yourselves to become the seed that fell on stony ground, but become the harvest that despite the loss of some seed, yields one hundred, sixty, thirty fold; a miraculous success in spite of frustrations. I look forward to seeing you on line this coming
Sunday via Zoom or Facebook Live.
Blessings, Fr. Stephen+

Herb Garden … while we've been away, the little herb garden near the main entrance (on the right side of the sidewalk a little way down the ramp toward the parking lot) has continued to grow. Right now, there's a bumper crop of spearmint, sage, oregano and chives, so please stop by and help yourself. It helps us keep the small space under better control. Thanks!
