All Saints' E-news

There is a single, 9AM service this Sunday. The Blessing of the Palms, the re-enactment of the joyful procession into Jerusalem and the reading of the Passion Narrative mark this day's observance of both joy and sorrow. Our

Bishop, The Rt. Rev. A. Robert Hirschfeld, will join us, be the preacher and celebrant. Palm fronds and crosses will be available for all. All who are able and wish to do so are encouraged to gather in the undercroft for the blessing of the Palms. Others should gather in the pews and the rest of us will join you for the wonderful and much beloved opening hymn of the day, O Glory Laud and Honor.

Maundy Thursday Seder Dinner

On Thursday at 7PM, All Saints' will host the Maundy Thursday Seder-style dinner, Eucharist and Footwashing. Fenton Friend and Cate McMahon are coordinating the event and all people and ages are welcome and encouraged to come. A special activities center will be available for children. The dinner includes beef brisket and roasted vegetables, with traditional seder side dishes, hard-boiled eggs, matzoh, fresh fruit, wine, non-alcoholic punch, sponge cake, and all the rest. There is no cost, unless you sign up to bring an item.

The Johnsons and Louise Graham are preparing brisket, and Fenton, Cate and other Women's Worship folk will do the roasted veggies and a fruit bowl.

Midday Good Friday Service

At noon on Friday, All Saints will host an hour-long ecumenical service of solemn collects, scripture readings and organ music. Central to this service is a particularly beautiful chanting of the Passion Gospel according to St. John and the bringing in of a large wooden cross.
