Hallelujah...the Bible and Handel's Messiah, a course that will be led by Ted and Gina will start of Tuesday (4:00 - 5:30 pm), January 28th in the Library. Hallelujah explores the scriptural texts of Handel's Messiah from Advent into Easter. Each week we will look at a section of the oratorio score and the scripture passage it quotes. We will discuss the historical context of it, talk about the way the music enhances the interpretation of it and share our own reflections. It is recommended that all participants purchase the book, Hallelujah...the Bible and Handel's Messiah by Carol Bechtel. If you would like a copy of the book and participate in this class, please contact the church office at 569-3453 or  allsaints@metrocast.net.

Ted would like the parish's thoughts on the time for the 2nd Easter Service for All Saints. Since we are now sharing our building with the 1st Congregational Church, they will be holding a 9 am service. Our usual 8 am service will be held at 7:30 am and our later service will either be held at 10:30 am or 11:00 am, whichever the congregation prefers. Parking and allowing the 1st Congregational church enough time for their service are concerns. Please speak to Ted or contact the office to let us know which time will work best.
