Welcome to the third Sunday after the Epiphany...
The texts for the day may be accessed here:
A lot more calling going on this week... in the book of Jonah, the prophet takes a mulligan and finally arrives in Ninevah (Ninevah!!); Paul rambles on as if there is going to be no tomorrow (seriously, he didn't think there was going to be a tomorrow...); and, in Mark's gospel, a whole lot of fisherman sign up.
Our readers for Sunday are Martha Grahame (Jonah) and Hope Sayles (Corinthians), and our prayer leader is Deb Shupe. The next lecture in our adult formation series - which will reflect on adaptations of Paul's theology in the later letters that were attributed to him. (Yo may be in for a surprise)

“Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”
It’s a joy to be a member of All Saints, and never so much as now. In the midst of pandemic and rising risks, you’ve stepped up to meet our Parish’s commitment to care for the homeless. You have fulfilled our volunteer needs to care for our neighbors who must depend on Safe Nights for their safety and security. Heartfelt thanks to Jen Scalise who is leading this effort and to each person making it possible. Please keep all those involved in your prayers from 24 – 27 January.

Senior Warden

Joint Epiphany Book Study:
We've had so much fun worshipping together that we thought we might try a little reading together.
Members of All Saints, Sunderland, St. Paul's, Prince Frederick, and Christ Church, West River, are invited to come together on Wednesday evenings in Epiphany - beginning January 13 - for a study of our Presiding Bishop's book, Crazy Christians.
Everything you need to know about time, how to order the book, and most importantly... the Zoom link that will lead you to the conversation, can be found by following this link: https://conta.cc/3hThcVG
News flash: During Lent we will gather once again as our own Dr. Sherrill Munn takes us into the book of Revelations. Stay tuned...
Hope you can join us.
