Dear Y'All Saints,

Happy MLK Weekend!

Thanks to everyone who brought so much joy and energy Sunday. It was a wonderful day with confirmation kickoff in the morning and Sunday Night Live at Waffle House. It was powerful to see our sanctuary full of teenagers and mentors, and we cannot wait to see how our youth and adults continue growing and connecting throughout this semester.

Confirmation is all about claiming the faith of our baptism, and during our first session we remembered the story of Jesus' baptism when God named him "Beloved." As we considered all the voices in the world that would tell us otherwise, we were reminded that as Christians we are called to listen to the voices that give us life and to share words of life with others.

A few notes as we head into this Sunday:

  • This Sunday will be a regular Attic Hour (no confirmation) from 10:20 - 11:05 a.m. with grades 6 - 12. We will be considering the life and legacy of Dr. King and the ways in which his work was deeply connected to his faith.

  • Next Friday night, January 24, will be the first Attic Invasion of the year for grades 6 - 8.

  • Confirmation wil resume on January 26, with Session 2 from 10:20 - 11:05 a.m. in the Attic.
Grace and Peace,






The Rev. Zack Nyein

Pilgrimage Spaces Available: Opening to 11-12th Grade

We still have a number of spaces open for this summer's youth pilgrimage to England, June 13 - 21. While typically part of the 10th grade year at All Saints', we are opening the pilgrimage to 11th and 12th graders who have never been on a youth pilgrimage.

Beginning with seeking God in the city in London, we will connect with our roots in the Church of England as we head east towards Canterbury Cathedral, where our journey will culminate. Along the way we will enjoy a Warner Brothers Harry Potter Studio Experience and stopover in Oxford, where we we will take a C.S. Lewis tour around the town and university. It promises to be an amazing pilgrimage!

The cost is $3,000 and scholarships are available. Please contact Rev. Zack iff you are interested. znyein@allsaintsatlanta.org
