Our Presiding Bishop's Royal Wedding Sermon
The most tweeted part of Saturday's royal wedding was Presiding Bishop Michael Curry's sermon, at some 40,000 tweets per minute. An estimated audience of two billion followed his sermon on the power of God's love. He spoke in a relatable way, which sent a worldwide audience online to find out more about this bishop and the Episcopal Church.

Social Action Committee T-Shirt and Sock Drive
We invite you to join us in All Saints' Spring Sock and T-Shirt Donation Drive to benefit people in need in our community. We are teaming up with Scripps Mercy Hospital on 5th Ave. to provide clothing items for impoverished and homeless individuals who are seen in the Emergency Room. Many times the clothes that folks were wearing when they arrived at the ER are not suitable to be worn at discharge.
Not sure where to purchase your socks and t-shirts? Dollar Tree, Walmart, Michael's, Target and Costco have reasonably priced clothing and socks in stock. Monetary donations are always welcome (there are envelopes on the back table).
Your contributions have filled one box and we are looking to fill a second one. Keep those t-shirts and socks coming. We’re hoping to fill several boxes before the end of June.
Our Donation Drive runs through June 2018. The SAC will schedule a time to drop-off our items at Scripps in early July. If you want to help with the delivery, please talk with any of your SAC members.
In Service,
All Saints Social Action Committee
Tamela Dreyer, Barbara Wilder, Kay Phillips, Lynette Blakney.

All Saints' Hosts WillanWest 2018
We will have Kathryn Bunch's Book Table in the Parish Hall as she has collected titles relating to music in the Episcopal Church, that of Anglican and Gregorian chant, as well as biographical works regarding Healy Willan and his influence on Episcopal Church music. She will have lots of other books and items for sale as well.
Come with a friend and/or friends and enjoy a beautiful Mass and a concert of Willan’s larger choral works.
SATURDAY 23 JUNE 2018: 7PM
Mass • Eve of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist
Willan West marks the Eve of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist with one of Willan's most beautiful Masses; Missa Brevis no. 11 Sancti Johannis Baptistæ (1953), along with the motet O Sacred Feast (no. 4 from Six Motets). Missa Brevis no. 11 is a 5-part Mass (SSATB) and stands out as the most elaborate of the Missæ Breves. The mass explores a variety of textures including antiphonal effects in the Sanctus befitting the text. The mass was published in 1953 and has been used regularly at St. Mary Magdalene's for major feast days. The Eucharistic motet O Sacred Feast is taken from the 1924 collection of six motets which are simpler in construction than his later motets. This collection of six motets has remained popular with choirs of modest resources, all the while maintaining Willan's characteristic devotional character.
Mass • Eve of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist
Missa Brevis no. 11 'Sancti Johannis Baptistae', 1953
Motet: Lord, enthroned in heavenly splendour, 'St Osmund'
Motet: O sacred feast, 1924
SUNDAY 24 JUNE 2018: 7PM
CONCERT: Choral Works of Healey Willan
The first of two concerts featuring the larger choral works of Healey Willan including his ravishing motet How they so softly rest, written before his days at St. Mary Magdalene's when he was still at St. Paul's Anglican Church, Bloor Street. This extraordinary work was written for the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir in
memory of members killed in World War I. This program will also include an opportunity to hear one of Willan's masterworks Gloria Deo per immensa saecula, a prelude and fugue for five-voice choir displaying Willan's contrapuntal mastery which stands as Willan's longest and arguably greatest motet.
CONCERT: Choral Works of Healey Willan
Hail, gladdening light, 1924

ALL SAINTS’ BELLS
BELLS and More BELLS
The Bell Tower Bells The software for providing a simulated ringing of Bell Tower bells has been re-installed. The neighborhood around the parish church is now hearing a typical quarter hour chiming, plus the tolling for the hour, and one verse of a hymn, or a pealing. Eventually, we will program our own selection of hymn or chant tunes, and set it for half hour chiming, and have it sound from 8am to 8pm (that should keep insomniac neighbors happier). Thanks to (Senior Warden) George Dreyer for getting it back up and working.

All Saints' to Host
Willan West 2018
WillanWest 2018 is a Southern California celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the death of English-Canadian composer Healey Willan who served as organist and choirmaster at the Anglo-Catholic parish of St. Mary Magdalene in Toronto from 1921-1966. All Saints’ was chosen to host this celebration as it is the only Episcopal parish in San Diego that has the potential to duplicate the environment of St. Mary Magdalene due to its traditional architecture and liturgy.
WillanWest choir under the direction of Ruben Valenzuela will hold 14 Saturday events at All Saints’ – Mass, Evensong and Benediction at 7:00pm from January 2018 through November 2018. For additional information about Healey Willan and the Healey Willan project visit willanwest.org.

Six Bach Suites for Solo Cello
Update
Here are the latest updates from Sophie Webber, cellist, who has performed at All Saints' in concert and played her cello during a Sunday Mass
She was thrilled to recently learn that ESCAPE: BACH'S SIX SUITES FOR SOLO CELLO was given a lovely and very flattering review in Gramophone magazine (June 2018 issue)! Here's an online version here: https://www.gramophone.co.uk/review/js-bach-solo-cello-suites-webber-skoraczewski
Another very nice write up came from Jon Jacob in a review on his classical music blog, Thoroughly Good https://www.thoroughlygood.me/2018/03/30/review-sophie-webber-plays-bach-cello-suites-on-escape/ More press reviews can be found on my EPK page under PRESS (https://www.sophiewebber.com/epk-1)
ESCAPE: BACH'S SIX SUITES FOR SOLO CELLO is also being aired on radio stations across the USA (including Southern California's Classical KUSC 91.5FM, Seattle's King FM 98.1, Iowa Public Radio, Tampa Bay (Florida)'s WUSF Public Media, Rochester (New York)'s WXXI Classical 91.5, North Carolina's WCPE The Classical Station 89.7 FM, Portland's All Classical 89.9 KQAC FM)
Other projects Sophie is currently working on include a recording of Bach Suite No.1 in G Major BWV1007 with chamber choir (singing an arrangement I wrote --minimal, highlighting harmonies and the interplay of consonance and dissonance). Martin Green, the Choral Director at St. Paul's Cathedral in San Diego (where I recorded Escape) has generously agreed to pioneer this project with me, and we will be meeting with the singers (handpicked from Martin's wonderful choirs at St. Paul's) in the next couple of weeks for an initial recording session of the Prelude from Suite No.1.
She is also working with a video artist to create another music video, this one featuring the Allemande from Suite No.6.
Sophie appreciates your interest and ongoing support

Sunday Morning Childcare
We are excited to announce that our nursery is now being staffed through Panda's Domestic Referral Agency, which provides childcare for many churches in San Diego. All sitters are childcare professionals that have undergone a national background check and are Infant and Child CPR Certified.
Want to be an Acolyte?
We have a pressing need for additional Acolytes in order to continue our worship in the manner to which we have all grown accustom. This is particularly true for the 10:30 Mass. If you are seeking an opportunity to serve and think that you might be interested in serving at the Altar, come by the Acolyte room before or after the service to learn what we do.
