Dear All Saints’ Church Family, I want to extend a warm invitation to everyone to join us for our virtual Christmas services. We are very excited to be able to offer a full schedule of virtual services...and we are grateful to God for the technology that makes this possible. I am also incredibly appreciative of the wonderfully hard work of the staff and volunteer team who make all of this possible! We will be offering a family-oriented service and two traditional services on Christmas Eve. Each of these will be filled with carols and, as always, we will conclude by joining together in singing Silent Night by candle light. We invite everyone to get out your candles and arrange your gathering space so that we can all unite our hearts together as we each participate in this beautiful tradition from home. We are also looking forward to livestreaming a Christmas morning service at 10:00 a.m. and a service of Lessons and Carols with Holy Eucharist on Sunday, December 27. I encourage everyone to participate in these services as we each strive to truly make Christ the focus of our Christmas celebrations. I am also pleased to share with you that our two traditional Christmas Eve services are being conducted in partnership with the Franconia-Springfield Mission, one of the newest church plants in our diocese. Their Vicar, Father Morgan Reed, will be sharing together in leading these services. We look forward to continuing this partnership for special services in the days to come since they do not yet have a permanent worship space available to them outside of Sundays. During this unusual Christmas season, may we all together give thanks to God for sending His Son Jesus Christ, and for all of the blessings which we continue to experience from his gracious hands. Together with you in His service, Scott+
