Holy Eucharist      All persons present are invited to experience the real presence of our Lord Jesus Christ by joining us at the altar. To receive the host, hold your hands out in front of you. To receive the wine, you may intinct by dipping the wafer into the wine, or you may assist the server by guiding the chalice to your lips. If you wish only to receive a blessing, simply cross your arms over your chest as a signal to the clergy. It is customary to remain at the altar rail until the person to your left has received communion.

Coping with grief

We are continuing a support group for those coping with grief and bereavement. The group meets on the first Sunday of every month following the 10 am service. Deacon Kent Curtis, a very effective pastor as well as an experienced social worker, facilitates the group.

Prayer requests

If you would like us to pray for an individual by name during Prayers of the People, you will find the Parish Prayer List on the back table as you enter the church, where you can write their names. Or you could mention it to the ushers before the service, or you may contact the church at 212-758-0447 or at info@allsaintsnyc.org. Or simply fill out the dialog box below.

5:00 - 6:30 pm All Saints Community Meal (soup kitchen)

The Saturday Community Meal provides a nourishing, complete dinner to the homeless, the needy, the lonely, in our neighborhood. Approximately 60 men and women are our dinner guests every week. Come help cook or serve the meal. It's a grace-filled way to show love.

Our guests come in from the cold to enjoy a hot, home-cooked meal, along with fellowship, a friendly atmosphere, and sometimes entertainment. This program has been a blessing and joy to all volunteers who have participated.

Volunteers are needed on Saturday afternoon for an hour or so to set up (set tables, make coffee and iced tea, etc.). Servers come between 4:30 and 5. Clean-up is finished by 6:15 at the latest. Your help is needed.

Do you find yourself at a loss for ideas when it's time to buy another birthday or Father's Day gift? The cost of one Saturday's meal is about $125. Wouldn't your mother be proud for you to donate in her name, giving her the opportunity to feed the hungry the way she once lovingly fed you?

It takes money to keep an outreach program going. We have two fund raisers each year for the Community Meal, usually on a Sunday evening at 6. Admission is $15. The food is good, and there's an informal cabaret atmosphere--lots of laughs and singing around the piano. It's a great way to make new friends.

Watch this website for fundraiser information and come join us, but meanwhile, please come help out on Saturdays. It's a guarantee you'll be glad you did.

All Saints has long been known for a tradition of excellent music, and you are invited to add your voice as a choir member. Rehearsals are Sunday mornings at 9:00am. The repertoire is drawn from a variety of styles and periods. The choir consists of a base of professional singers plus all others who want to participate.

On feast days, the choir is often joined by instrumentalists. The 11am liturgy from September through May is a sung eucharist accompanied by the choir; during summer a soloist provides the music of the service.

The All Saints choir occasionally presents musical events for the parish and greater community. In addition, All Saints is pleased to be the home of several performing arts groups that offer concerts throughout the year.

For more information about the music program at All Saints, call music director Cynthia Weinrich in the parish office or email her at info@allsaints-nyc.org with attn Cynthia in the subject line.
