A Note from Father Quinn

Friends,

It’s a joy for me to let you know that the Commission on Ministry has asked All Saints to welcome a field education student,

Patti Arey, who attends

St. Francis in-the-Field, to be with us for the seasons of Advent through Easter. Patti is in the process of discerning a call to ordained ministry, and we are a place where she’ll be able to explore that call while learning from us and teaching us.

While she’s here, Patti will explore our various ministries. She’ll serve around the altar. She’ll teach and preach. She’ll work in pastoral care. She is a warm and loving presence, and I know you’ll enjoy getting to know her. Her first day with us will be Sunday, November 29.

Please see her brief bio, along with her photo.

God bless,

Quinn+

Patti Arey is originally from North Carolina but has lived in Florida for 26 years, which makes it home. She has been married to Todd for over 32 years. They have one son, Cutter, and a daughter-in-law, who now live in Los Angeles. Cutter just completed two master’s programs at Boston Conservatory and is a classical composer.

Patti has an undergraduate degree in Christian education and an MDiv from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. She has trained and overseen a large lay pastoral care program and taught a women’s Bible study for seven years. She is currently a postulant in the discernment process for the priesthood and is looking forward to her four months of field work at All Saints. She loves to cook, walk on the beach with their dog, CoCo, watch college and NFL football, play mahjong, and travel with her husband.

**New Time**

Morning Prayer on Zoom continues

every Monday at 8:30am

In many times and places, daybreak has been a time of prayer. Jews prayed in their synagogues at sunrise as well as at other times each day. This Jewish pattern of prayer formed the basis of the Christian monastic Daily Office, with its prayers or “hours” at seven times in each day. Thomas Cranmer’s revision of the Daily Office for the first English Prayer Book (1549) reduced the number of services to two - one for morning (Matins) and one for evening (Evensong or vespers). In the Second English Prayer Book (1552), the morning service was given its present name, Morning Prayer.

All Saints would love for you to join us on Monday mornings at 8:30 AM via Zoom to pray the service of Morning Prayer from the Daily Office. What better way to start your week than a sweet reminder that your days belong to God and that you are never alone? Just open up your computer or smart phone, and click HERE to join. The meeting ID is 880 6446 1068 and the passcode to enter the Zoom meeting is 212659 or just email Julia Suddath HERE for the Zoom invitation. You can also use Forward Movement's Daily Prayer resource HERE to see the liturgy and to read the assigned Bible readings for Morning Prayer.

Come and be nourished with the Word of God and prayer!
