The Cornerstones of our Faith

Picture
The Book of Common Prayer (BCP) is our primary liturgical and worship resource.  It is in our pews and available online. During our services we also make use of the following musical resources: Episcopal Hymnal 1982, Wonder Love and Praise, Lift Every Voice and Sing II (African-American hymnal), and My Heart Sings Out (hymnal for children).

Sunday Scripture Readings are taken from the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL).  We usually have the readings printed as in insert in our bulletins, or you can look up the Sunday Scriptures and those for other feast days online.

Daily Prayer

Praying each day, no matter where you are, is part of Christian faith. While prayer is speaking and listening to God in whatever words or images work best for you, the Prayer Book provides a structured way to do that four times a day in what is called the Daily Office (Morning Prayer, Noonday Prayer, Evening Prayer and Compline - bedtime prayers at the completion of the day). You can find the Daily Office in the BCP starting on page 37; short forms are on page 136.

You can pray the Daily Office on-line at the Forward Movement website
They provide the Bible readings, psalms and canticles for each day, and you can personalize some of the settings. 

And Sunday evening chanted Compline from St. Mark's Cathedral in Seattle.

A place for prayer and reflection

The doors All Saints' Church are open from Sunday to Friday for prayer, reflection and meditation.  Our Memorial Garden behind the Church is also a place to reflect and pray in a peaceful setting. The Parish Clergy are available for conversation, counseling and prayer, and individual confession.  

We have a Prayer Chain ministry, led by parishioners, who pray for emergency and long-term needs. Information shared with the Prayer Chain is confidential. 

Laying on of Hands for Healing Prayer is available weekly at the 7:00 am Thursday service and the third Sunday of the month during the 10 am service. You may also contact the parish clergy for a time of individual healing prayer.
