Societies of Mary
The December Societies of Mary gathering has been rescheduled to Saturday, December 18 at 11am. It was necessary to reschedule the date as Fr. Carlos has a Diocesan meeting on December 4.
Please join us on the 18th. We do the rosary first – you don’t need to even have a rosary to easily participate – and then we have the Eucharist. Father Expósito will be the celebrant.
The total time is less than an hour and a half. Newcomers are always welcome. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
We will adjourn to the Parish Hall for a light lunch after the Eucharist.
Last names beginning with:
A-G Please bring a SALAD
H-M Please bring a ENTRÉE
N-Z Please bring an DESSERT
We look forward to your joining us on Saturday, December 18th.
The Stewardship Committee thanks parishioners for their generous Good Friday and Easter offerings. The Good Friday offering of $243 will be given to the Diocese of Jerusalem for its work in the Holy Land. Easter offerings received through April 24 totaled $2,029, and the Vestry has decided that half of this amount will be allocated to support the charitable work of our Social Action Committee.

Christian Formation - 2nd and 4th Sundays,after Mass at 11:30am
-- After getting your coffee and a snack, please join us on Sunday, February 27 in Father's study as we complete our discussion of "The Concise History of the Book of Common Prayer.”
On that Sunday we will be discussing Session 10 — The Future of Prayer Book Worship. --
Have you ever wondered how the Book of Common Prayer originated? Who were the historical figures instrumental through the ages from the 16th century to the present day in formulating this Book? Well Gary Nicilosi, Episcopal Priest and Lawyer, has written “A Concise History of the Book of Common Prayer—An Appreciation of Anglicanism” to answer those questions and many more.
Gary Nicolosi is the author of hundreds of articles on Anglicanism, parish ministry and spirituality, including his book “SoulFire: Preaching the Church Message in a Secular, Postmodern World”.
As a former member of St. Bart’s, Poway during his rectorship, I can attest to his fine writing and the depth of his scholarship.
Please join Fr. Carlos as he leads us through Concise History—each lesson/chapter includes questions to guide group discussion and to provoke serious personal reflection.
Copies of this book are available for $14.00 in the Parish Office during the week and on Sundays.
Message from Fr. Carlos
Dear All Saints’ parishioners,
As part of our Christian formation for adults this coming Lenten Season, we are inviting you to join us in the study of the book Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul by John Philip Newell.
In this book, Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul: Celtic Wisdom for Reawakening to What Our Souls Know and Healing the World, John Phillip Newell shares the long, hidden tradition of Celtic Christianity, explaining how this earth-based spirituality can help us rediscover the natural rhythms of life and deepen our spiritual connection with God, with each other, and with the earth. He introduces some of Celtic Christianity’s leading practitioners, both saints and pioneers of faith, whose timeless wisdom is more necessary than ever.
Newell is an internationally acclaimed spiritual teacher, speaker, and author of several books, including Listening for the Heartbeat of God, and A New Harmony. The former Warden of Iona Abbey in the Western Isles of Scotland, he is the founder of Earth and Soul (a Celtic Initiative of Study, Spiritual Practice, and Compassionate Action) and teaches regularly in the United States.
Bishop Michael Curry, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, and author of Love is the Way, says, "This wonderful book draws deeply from the well of Celtic wisdom across the centuries to help us to recognize the sacred both around us and in us, calling us to wake up and see that there’s no going back to small, limited notions of God and the sacred."
We will be meeting in the rector’s office every second and fourth Sunday of the month, after the mass.
The books will be available for purchase at the church. Further information as to what chapters to read in advance for each session will be given in our weekly bulletins and newsletters.
IN MEMORIUM

Please join us as we celebrate the life of a faithful member of All Saints’ and welcome her family as they return to All Saints’ for this time of remembrance.

Suggested Reading From
Julian of Norwich: Cheer and Sighing
“In this I saw reason for cheer and reason for sighing; cheer in that our Lord and Maker is so near to us; he is in us, and we are in him, completely safe through his great goodness; sighing in that we are so spiritually blind and weighed down by our mortal flesh and murky sin that we cannot clearly see our Lord’s blessed face.”

John Bauerschmidt: Knowledge and Love
“When it comes to the heart and mind, to knowledge and love, priority depends upon the context. For human beings, knowledge may come before love, but God, the Supreme Good, takes up our hearts and minds together in order to fit us for his kingdom.”

We welcome you to join our prayer chain so you can pray for the requests that we receive.
Prayer is used in a multitude of ways to seek comfort, make a request, ask for guidance, heal and restore, express sorrow, celebrate joy or give thanks. 'The Prayers of the People' that is provided weekly in the back our bulletin is an updated list of everything and everyone on our prayer list and is an excellent resource to be used in our daily prayers. However, between these bulletins, situations arise that people need immediate prayers started. More information will be provided in future enews.
If you are interested in being included in the prayer chain or if you have additional questions or comments, please contact Pamela Gray throught the Parish.

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.
