Dear Saints, It’s hard to believe that the first month of 2021 is already coming to an end. The year seems to have picked up where 2020 left off. This morning, I was reading “Practice in the Presence of God” which is a collection of notes about a humble monk from the 17th century known as Brother Lawrence. One of the things the monk made note of was his prayerful desire to accept the supremacy and goodness of God. This can be a difficult thing to accept when the world around us feels as crazy as it does in our age. However, scripture reminds us repeatedly that God is good and sovereign. We can rest in this a fact no matter how weary life feels. I have been reminded of God’s goodness over and over again and finding a great deal of comfort. We have seen our fair share of heartache in All Saints, yet to see each of you draw nearer to Christ, encourage one another, and give each other support in the shadow of so much has been a great encouragement to me. Please remember, this Sunday, Lord willing, and if the weather holds will be our Annual Meeting. Error Correction I made an error in my last short email – we will only have one service at 10 am this Sunday, January 31st. The annual meeting will follow immediately. I apologize for the confusion. Sunday’s Service Sunday we are going to have Litany and Ante-Communion. This is a service that has largely gone away, but I wanted to do it at least once, first so you all could see it and be more familiar with another traditional Anglican service. Secondly, it should be a beautiful and simple service. We will start with the great Litany, and then we will move into the first part of the Holy Communion service through to the creed. Following the Creed we will have a sermon, a time of quiet prayer and close our service. Up Coming Events around Arizona I wanted to make you all aware of two upcoming events put on by the Gospel Coalition. On the evening of March 19th there will be a short conference on Parenting in the Digital Age. On the evening of April 17th there will be a short workshop on Abuse and the Gospel. You can find out more information here: https://arizona.thegospelcoalition.org/arizona-events. If you are interested, they are free events, but you need to pre-register. I look forward to seeing you all Sunday. In Christ, Fr. Ian
