This Sunday - Jesus: the Primary Priority -
Religion is DEAD!
Hebrews 8: 1-2, 7-13
Pastor Bill Berger
Jesus: the Primary Priority is a book written to Urban Christ followers who are dealing with the trials, pains and sorrows of life and is the theme for our Hebrews series.
From the beginning of chapter 8, the writer of Hebrews hits home the theme of the book. In our current world, an easy search will tell you religion is very divisive. We can find news about that all over the world. The main point made throughout Hebrews is Jesus did not come to start a new religion or to start the best religion! On the contrary, He came to end religion. To embrace Jesus is to end religion! Think about it. |
NEW! Service Team Highlight of the Week
Here at All Saints, we want the people of Seattle to know and understand the reality of an abundant life in Christ. This can only happen if we live out our faith in the same places where we live out our lives. The 1 + 1+ 1 formula is a way to bring together our faith and our personal lives to coexist as one. The formula includes 1 church gathering + 1 service team + 1 life group. In the coming weeks, we will be highlighting each Service Team. We want to help you get connected and build community. Serving together is of the pieces in building a strong relationship in Christ.

An outward expression of an inward reality...
On Palm Sunday, March 28th, All Saints is hosting a time for those ready to take the next step of faith and outwardly express their love for Jesus Christ through being baptized. This act allows a person to let go of the idea they once held of how their life should be, and instead, lets Christ lead, direct, love, challenge and guide them from that point on. Sign ups have since closed, but we would love for you to join us in this special celebration following the 11am gathering. Baptisms will be held at the Queen Anne Pool, located just 5 minutes from the church at 1920 1st Avenue West.
A time of dedication...
Also on Palm Sunday, March 28th, All Saints is offering a time of celebration and dedication of the new babies and toddlers we have been blessed with in our community. It is wonderful when parents recognize their children as gifts from God. In these moments, parents have the opportunity to publicly express their appreciation to God through acknowledging His direction and guidance for the child and parents. We would like to invite everyone to join in making the commitment to guide and teach these children in the ways of Jesus as they grow. Join us in these celebrations!

Inve$ting in All Saints
God has asked that we give at least 10% back to him from all that we get. Whether you give at All Saints or elsewhere, the act of giving not only benefits those receiving your gift, but also blesses you in unexpected ways. All Saints depends entirely on giving from our members, attenders and supporters to do what we do. If you have decided to give to All Saints we ask that you grab a commitment card (from beside the giving boxes, on the "giving statements" table in the Commons, or from the concierge desk) this Sunday, fill it out and slip it into one of the giving boxes. Taking that first step of making the commitment sets everything in motion. Ask God what he would like you to give and be prepared to be amazed! Thank you in advance! | |
