Our Next Exploration Into Christian Mysticism

Beginning December 3rd, we will embark on our next exploration into Christian mysticism as we read together the timeless spiritual classic, The Sacrament of the Present Moment by Jean-Pierre de Caussade.

“O all ye who thirst! Know that you have not far to seek for the fountain of living waters; it springs close to you in the present moment... The present moment is the manifestation of the Name of God and the coming of His Kingdom.”

 — Jean-Pierre de Caussade, The Sacrament of the Present Moment

Written in the 18th century by a relatively little-known French priest and spiritual director, this remarkable work was never originally intended to become a book. Rather, it is a collection of spiritual counsel, reflections, and wisdom that De Caussade shared with the Visitation nuns in the city of Nancy, France.

Through a series of conferences on the spiritual life, De Caussade introduced the sisters to a deceptively simple yet profound truth, one rooted in his own spiritual experience: God speaks to each of us through everything that happens to us, moment by moment.

At the heart of his teaching is the invitation to surrender ourselves completely to Divine Providence—to become attentive to God's presence and receptive to His will in the ordinary circumstances of our daily lives. As De Caussade writes:

“There remains one single duty. It is to keep one's gaze fixed on the Master one has chosen and to be constantly listening so as to understand and hear and immediately obey His will. The only condition necessary for this state of self-surrender is the present moment, in which the soul, light as a feather, fluid as water, innocent as a child, responds to every movement of grace like a floating balloon.”

Thankfully, the sisters of Nancy recognized the extraordinary value of their spiritual director's words and carefully preserved his teachings. Eventually, these writings were published in 1861 under the title Self-Abandonment to Divine Providence, becoming in my view, one of the enduring treasures of Christian mysticism.

I look forward to exploring this beautiful and challenging invitation together: to discover God not somewhere beyond our reach, but here and now—in the sacred gift of the present moment. All are Welcome!

(We will be reading the contemporary translation by Kitty Muggeridge with an introduction by Richard J. Foster)

In 2027, we remember that we are one body with many members, and each of us have something we can give.  We hope that everyone will consider supporting the Annual Fund at whatever level is comfortable financially, remembering that no pledge is too small and every pledge makes a difference. With that, we recognize that it will be easier for some people to make a gift of their time, a commitment to join the Legacy Circle, or a one-time gift to support our campus renovation this year.

Thank you for all the ways you contribute to  All Saints’. You are an important part of this body, and we are truly grateful for you.

The Rosary Prayer 

next gathering November 8

Led by Ken Mosesian

Praying the Rosary lasts about 20 - 25 minutes, and helps to calm and center your mind through this ancient devotional focused on the Great Mysteries in the life of Jesus Christ. Rosary prayer beads and service booklets are provided. 

Centering Prayer next gathering November 8

Sundays at 9AM in the Chapel of the Holy innocents

Led by Fr. Daniel Collier and Sara Soller

prepare one to receive the gifts of God’s presence. It is simple yet profound in its effects.

Coffee and Conversation next gathering NOVEMBER 22

Sundays at 9AM in the St. Barbara Rooms

A chance to connect with and get to know the clergy and one another. Each week, the preacher for the following weekend will be part of the conversation to ask the members of the All Saints’ community what they hear or wonder about in the appointed lessons—to get some communal input for next week’s sermon. 

Second Sunday: THIS SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8

Hear from our architect, Kaiserworks, and see the latest renderings of the Close Garden Renovation.

Sundays at 9AM in the St. Barbara Rooms

Once a month, we will have an informational session focused on the ministry or the business of the church. This is when you should expect updates from key ministry partners, leadership & more. 

The Deacon’s Bible Study

Led by Deacon Patrice

Women of the Bible

FALL 2026: SECOND & FOURTH TUESDAYS  

10:30am in the St. Barbara Meeting Rooms on Nov 17 & 24 

Reading about the women in the Bible reveals a great deal more than simply the stories of a few individuals. Through the women’s trials and triumphs, the text offers various (sometimes contradictory) pictures of gender, family life, and relationships. Our modern understanding of gender may not translate directly onto the functions of gender in the Bible.

“Women in the Bible” sheds new light on familiar characters like Mary Magdalene in the New Testament and Sarah, Abraham’s wife in the Hebrew Bible. It also studies characters who are less well known to many Bible readers, such as the city of Babylon, styled as a whore in the Book of Revelation. Through the stories of these women, discover how gender can inform your reading as you explore how these stories relate to your own faith journey.”

September 8:    Sarah | Genesis 16, 17, and 21

September 22: Tamar | Genesis 38, 2 Samuel 13

October 6:   NOTE DATE CHANGE Women Warrior  | Judges 4 and 5

October 27:  Woman of Valor | Proverbs 31:10-31

November 17: Woman at the Well | John 4:5-30 and 39-42

November 24:  Whore of Babylon |  Revelation 17-18                  

EDUCATION FOR MINISTRY

After many year’s absence, All Saints’ is pleased to offer a first year class

in Education for Ministry, beginning in January. EFM Year One covers the

Old Testament in depth, but it is not just a class in Bible study.

Theological Reflection, exercises in learning to think theologically, are 

an integral part of the course, designed to help each student become a

more thoughtful and active Christian.

If you are interested in enrolling in this class, we are having an inform-

ational meeting to present the course schedule, enrollment procedures, fees, and try to answer any questions you might have. Join us

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15 at 9am in St. Barbara (in lieu of Coffee & Conversation)

We hope to see you there!

10AM Sermon

Bishop Jennifer Reddall

Help Bring Families Together

This Saturday, from 10am to 3pm, is an opportunity for people throughout the Valley to find their next forever friend and family member. The dog or cat that will bring joy in so many ways. Rats, too, as shown by the pic above. The pet that will be unconditional love through good times and bad. The friend who doesn't judge or scowl at your silly behaviors. Animals, like all of nature, just are. They exist in our space, but on a different plane. Some people are intuitive enough to connect on that plane. Some people enjoy the simple, fun antics of animal behavior. No matter how you relate to animals, almost everyone can agree they enhance our lives in indescribable ways. And typically, they bring out the best in most people. Last I checked, that’s something we could use more of.

That's why the PACC911 pet adoption event is so important. It always allows people to visit and connect with a myriad of animals to find just that right chemistry. One size fits one in this case. The dogs I like may not be the same dogs that appeal to you. Great! There are so many critters in need; it is essential we all look for different things.

So if you know someone thinking about adding a family member, or in dire need of a true companion, tell them this Saturday from 10 to 3 in the parking lot at the Southwest corner of Central Avenue and Maryland is the place. In a world that has more ups and downs than an elevator in the Empire State Building, it is reassuring to know there is a way to bring comfort without illegal substances or great expense. That is the practical way of looking at pet ownership. The best way is to just love.

Hope to see you here this weekend for

worship, fellowship, and service All Saints' style.

We are so honored to be that meaningful place for your spiritual refreshment, compassion, and kindness.

Any questions or suggestions, let me know.
