The Way of Love

The Way of Love is a “rule of life” focused on practices for a Jesus-Centered life. It is based on ancient practices the Church has always known and valued yet are fresh and life-giving for us in the Episcopal Church today. Watch the video at the right to find out more. You can also look here for more detailed information.

Daily Prayer

Praying each day, no matter where you are, is part of Christian faith. Prayer is speaking and listening to God in whatever words or images work best for you.

The Episcopal Book of Common Prayer also provides a structured way to pray four times a day in what is called the Daily Office (Morning Prayer, Noonday Prayer, Evening Prayer and Compline - bedtime prayers). The Daily Office starts on page 37 of the BCP; short forms are on page 136.

All Saints' offers the service of Compline daily on Facebook Live at 9:30 pm. It is led by parishioners. You may offer prayer requests and thanksgivings in the chat section and the Compline Minister will include those prayers aloud.

The Daily Office is also on-line at the Forward Movement website. ​

The Cornerstones of our Faith

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 in our bulletins. We also have Bibles in our pews. You can also look up the Sunday Scriptures and those for feast days online.

Our connections
As an Episcopal parish, All Saints' is part of a larger family of Christians who share the same spiritual heritage. We are part of the Diocese of Newark, made up of congregations in Northern
New Jersey. 

The Community of St. John Baptist (CSJB) in nearby Mendham, NJ is the American branch of one of the oldest women's religious order in the Anglican communion.  Their convent chapel, retreat house and 75 acres of wooded grounds are available for groups and individuals.  All Saints' and CSJB have close ties and support each other's work.

The Episcopal Church (TEC) is our denomination that includes all 50 states and 14 other countries (including Haiti, Honduras and American congregations in Europe). 

The Anglican Communion, our worldwide fellowship, is made up of more than 80 million members in 44 regional and national member churches around the globe in more than 160 countries that all draw their history from the Church of England and are in communion with the Archbishop of Canterbury.

A place for prayer and reflection

​The church has been my sanctuary over the years and members of my support group.
