This Sunday
- Jesus: the Primary Priority -
The Ultimate Sacrifice
Hebrews 9:11-14, 10:11-18
Pastor Bill Berger


Ultimate Sacrifice 3-28-10

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.

As we continue to progress through the book of Hebrews, we find each week that this book was written to those who have suffered or who are suffering. These people are beat down with worries, troubles and heartache. Amidst the hurt and the pain, we find the writer of Hebrews attempting to provide its readers with guidance on how to get through the brutal realities of this world.

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.

Help keep our building clean, presentable and welcoming to everyone who walks through the doors at All Saints

Baptisms

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.

Baby Dedications


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!

Lost & Found

LOST & found...

Here at All Saints, we maintain a small lost and found at the Concierge desk, located in the Commons. If you happen to be missing something and think you may have left it at the church, feel free to check with the Concierge on a Sunday, or send us an email at life@believedoubtseek.org. Any items left longer than 2 weeks will be donated to one of our partner ministries.

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!
