Upcoming Pilgrimage with Diocese:
Join Lutheran Bishop Guy Erwin and Episcopal tour organizer Canon Jim Newman in the Holy Land! There is something incredibly powerful about traveling the paths of Jesus and his disciples that can be life changing for you, as it has been for so many others. Imagine...Bethlehem, Nazareth and Jerusalem, the Mount of Olives, the Garden of Gethsemane, the Jordan River, and the mysterious stone city of Petra ... the sights, the sounds, the smells and the tastes will remain in your memory as you cherish the moments you spend with your fellow pilgrims. We are looking forward to sharing this journey of a lifetime with you. Space is limited, so it will be necessary for you to send in your reservation form and deposit as soon as possible. The trip will depart from Los Angeles on Saturday, Dec. 26, 2015, and return on Tuesday, Jan. 5, 2016 - an eleven-day tour. The cost from Los Angeles is $4148 ($3,343 + $805 in government taxes & airline fuel surcharges). For more information contact Canon Jim Newman at 310.391.5522, 888.802.6722 (toll-free) or stbedesla@yahoo.com.A brochure can be downloaded here.

All Saints' Summer Arts in Liturgy
|
Each summer, our 10:00 worship services are filled with music and liturgical language that is unique, and emphasizes a particular context. This summer, we explore the variety of music published by the Episcopal Church.
Did you know, our Church publishes 5 music publications for worship? Like our familiar 1982 Hymnal, each has its own musical personality that reflects a unique context and culture.
In your bulletin, we'll note the source of each of the musical pieces not found in the '82 Hymnal and a brief description of each of those sources.
Let's enjoy some variety this summer, as we sing a broad selection of the music of the Episcopal Church!
