Greetings!
This summer, All Saints has been exploring the musical sounds of the World-Wide Anglican Communion. We've worshiped with music from the Latin American countries and most recently, music of the Celtic world. Join us this Sunday, July 27, at the 10 a.m. service, as we kick off a three week adventure into the musical world of the Caribbean and Hawaii. You'll not want to miss this charming and rhythmically fascinating style. See you in church!
God's Peace,
Steve O'Connor
Music Director

No Mystery, Trip to the Pageant was a Blast
|
 All Saints' trip to The Pageant of the Masters "The Art Detective" proved to be most exiting. About 20 parishioners and friends joined the Rev. Vicki for an evening of art, mysteries, and theater in Laguna Beach. We took in the talents of local artists then enjoyed a delicious Italian dinner before being transported to Europe, Russia and back to the U.S. by the artistry and theatrical illusion of "living pictures". The adventure didn't end with the curtain - but carried us all the way back home to Santa Barbara. This trip won't soon be forgotten! View more photos here.

Life in Christ with the Prayer
of St. Patrick Starts Next Week
|
 There are many versions of the Prayer of St. Patrick but perhaps the best known and most widely accepted section reads:
Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger. A four week class regarding our personal interaction with the Prayer of St. Patrick will be offered after Eventide and soup supper on Wednesdays July 30, August 6, 13, and 20. We will meet in the Parish House at 7:15 p.m. to discover what this prayer might mean in your life! Family and friends are welcome. For more information, please contact the Rev. Vicki Mouradian at the church 805/969-4771.
