Welcome to virtual worship for this, the 20th Sunday after Pentecost
You can access the texts for Sunday by following this link:
This week, Isaiah offers some hope to the exiles in Babylon with the breaking news that Cyrus of Persia may just be the vehicle for God's deliverance from captivity that they have been waiting for; Paul offers greetings to the faithful of Thessalonica in what may be the oldest epistle in the New Testament and... Matthew's Jesus outsmarts the pharisees in another taxing battle of wits. (Oh, where will our esteemed deacon, Lisa Siciliano+, take us with these lections?)
As always, we will open the worship space at 9:45 AM to give everyone a chance to do a little greeting before the service begins at 10. And, we will once again be called into silent reflection before the service begins.

Skills Extravaganza
Extra special event with guest presenter Ken Mathews, a good friend of All Saints who discovered us through the Calvert Arts Festival, for 10 a.m., Saturday, Oct 24 Skills Extravaganza. He and his delight wife Martha are faithful members of Les Saints du Vin, our wine tasting group. An accomplished home wine maker, Ken will explain how to make your own very nice wines. He grows a lot of his own grapes, but also purchases grapes and juice for his production. This fascinating presentation may peek your interest into learning more and making your own wine or help you understand how good wine is made and why it is worth the price to have someone else make it! Make a point to join us as Ken explains the tricks of the trade.

‘Live’ worship service planned. On Sunday afternoon, October 18th at 3pm, the Worship Commission is planning All Saints’ first ‘live’ worship service since COVID-19 forced us to shelter at home. The socially-distant Vespers Service for Peace and Spiritual Renewal will take place on the stage and lawn in front of the Parish Hall. It will also be available to watch on Zoom and will be recorded for later viewing. Temporary distancing circles will be painted on the grass in which individual households will ‘reside’ during the service. Social distancing will be strictly enforced and no direct socializing before or after the service will be allowed. Please note that MASKS ARE REQUIRED for the entirety of the service to ensure the safety of everyone present. Bring your own seating (folding chairs or blankets), as no furniture may be removed from the Parish Hall. (And we encourage you to not need use of the restroom facilities during the time you are on the church campus, so ‘go’ before you leave home! The restroom must be sanitized after each use and we prefer to keep that at a minimum.) Please RSVP to Deb Watson, Worship Commission chairperson, so we know how many ‘circles’ to provide: sdswatson@comcast.net In the event of rain, a rain date will be announced.

I Am Thankful For....
We will celebrate Thanksgiving very soon. (Can it be that Thanksgiving is less than 2 months away?) Even though this year has been difficult for all of us, we have so much for which to be thankful. Giving thanks is a part of our daily lives, but it plays a major role in any Thanksgiving celebration. This year at All Saints', we would like you to share with all of the parishioners some things that you are thankful for. click https://conta.cc/3hKpaPe to find out about the parish-wide project that the Parish Family Life Commission has in store for us!

- Developed with input from a broad range of partners, including other state agencies, local and regional governments, public and private transit providers, business and non-governmental organizations, and the public.
