INFORMATION ABOUT THE SERVICES
- Each service is limited to 25 participants.
- You must pre-register. This link will take you to the list of all the upcoming services, where you can sign up.
- You must complete the health and wellness screening certification prior to coming.
- Masks must be worn at all times (except for receiving Communion, and/or for medical reasons—children under 2 are not required to wear a mask; children between 2-5 are encouraged to mask, but the final decision is left to the parents).
- Please bring your own chairs, blankets, and hand sanitizer. We will have some chairs and hand sanitizer on hand, but it would be preferable for everyone to bring their own.
- The lawn is marked at 6’ intervals, and Richard and/or Tammy will direct you where to sit.
- The service will be a short service of Holy Communion, using a form from Iona. There will be an opening prayer, a reading from the day’s Gospel, a very short homily (different than the one preached on Sunday morning), then the Eucharistic Prayer and Communion following diocesan guidelines. There will be no pre or post service gatherings. There will be no hymns. We will use our portable microphone and amplifier, but we cannot guarantee that the audio will be perfectly audible for everyone.
- Bathrooms on the main floor of All Saints will be available. Only one person at a time.
- There will be no ushers. Please follow the directions of the clergy as you enter and exit, and for receiving Communion.
- In case of rain, we will move into the sanctuary.
- Please continue to mail in your pledges, or make donations online.
August/September Holy Communion Dates:
Beginning this Sunday, 16 August, and continuing through 14 September we will have a total of 13 Communion services. Each is capped at 25 people, but this means that everyone who might wish to attend could do so and receive Holy Communion at least twice. Please pre-register for the services here.
- Sunday, 6 September, 8:30 am Morning Communion
- Sunday 6 September, 7:00 pm, Sung Compline (not Communion—this is our monthly service, which we will either livestream or, if possible, allow a small number of participants into the service, stay tuned).
- Wednesday, 9 September, 6:00 pm, Evening Communion—Feast of Thecla, et al.
- Sunday, 13 September, 8:30 am, Morning Communion
- Monday, 14 September, 6:00 pm, Evening Communion—Feast of the Holy Cross
If you are unable, or feel it is unsafe for you to attend an in-person service for health reasons, and would still like to receive communion, please be in touch with Richard and we will work together to arrange a way to accomplish this in the safest way possible following diocesan guidelines.
