Emergency: The Carr Fire has forced many of our sisters and brothers in Christ to evacuate their homes; some have gathered at All Saints. We are grateful for their safety, and gathered in solidarity with all of our displaced neighbors in their sorrow and fear. We pray for those who remain in harm's way, including the first responders who are fighting this fire and supporting evacuees, even as we hold them in prayer.

At All Saints, we say Morning Prayer at 8:45am every weekday. We are adding Noonday Prayer at noon, Evening Prayer at 6pm, and Compline at 9pm today. We will hold the church doors open for as long as two or more are gathered here.

We also will share meals as needed, starting with breakfast this morning. After Morning Prayer, we'll begin cooking in Memorial Hall. If you'd like to help, or just to sit with us, you are welcome to join us in prayer, fellowship, solidarity, as sisters and brothers in Christ.

We have offers of help with evacuation, trucks and muscles, for any who need it.

The office is open.

Whether or not you join us in person, I ask for your prayers for all whose lives have been changed by fire today.

Assist us mercifully, O Lord, in these our supplications and prayers, and dispose the way of thy servants towards the attainment of everlasting salvation; that, among all the

changes and chances of this mortal life, they may ever be defended by thy gracious and ready help; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
