Welcome to the 4th Sunday of Easter. (Are we missing Lent, yet?)
The lectionary once again opens with a reading from the Book of Acts, where Peter and his associates are questioned by the high priest and others following their arrest. We then turn to the first 'letter' of John for another lesson in love, and, in the Gospel of John Jesus, talks about being the good shepherd; and when you realize that the sheep gate reference echoes its first appearance in the gospel a few chapters earlier and that sheep are first and foremost viewed as sacrificial animals and not as a mindless food supply... well then, this text gets really interesting.
Deb Shupe will be the lector assigned to Acts; Lisa Herlihy will read from the first letter of John; and Cheryl Thompson will serve as our prayer leader.
Following the service, Dr. David Brakke will lecture on the crises faced by the early church communities known to the writers of 1 - 2 Peter and Jude.

Evensong- Beginning on April 25, 2021, on the last Sunday of each month at 6pm, a virtual Evensong service will be offered.
The inspiration for the theme of this month's Evensong is a message regarding love, as found in the third chapter of 1John. A creative liturgy of readings, prayers and music, sacred and secular together will provide opportunity for thoughtful contemplation and quiet reflection.
Please join us on Sunday evening, April 25, 2021 at 6pm.

Pandemic Regathering News
On Tuesday, April 13th, the Vestry approved a Regathering Plan intended to ease us back into a more comfortable Parish life, while continuing to keep everyone safe. Of course, we will comply with Diocesan guidance and law at all times. But, we also intend to create circumstances that leave no one behind. To accomplish this we aim to make nearly all aspects of Parish life “hybrid” – that is, simultaneously accessible online and in person – and to do it in a way that all participants can actually interact with each other. For example, in a church service, one reader might be in the Church and the other reading via Zoom – with all able to see and hear each other…and announcements could come from anywhere!
At first, little will change will occur other than making it possible for a certain number of people who wish to do being together on campus (masks and distancing, etc., applicable) while others take part on Zoom. The number of people who will be able to attend in person will be determined using a Diocesan formula and announced in the week’s newsletter. It will be “first come, first served” and once the maximum number has been reached no one else can be admitted (although they will, of course, be able to attend on Zoom). Masks will always be welcome regardless of whether they are required. Ushers, or the leader of a meeting, will have both the responsibility and the authority to be sure we all follow the requirements to keep each other safe. Outside events may be considered where they could provide greater flexibility as described in the Plan.
Implementation will be gradual and always susceptible to “hitting the pause button”. if circumstances don’t worsen we may start hybrid worship in May, and work up to parishioner use of the Parish Hall, and then to additional use by Friends of All Saints, by the end of June.
The details are in the Vestry’s Plan which you can read here >>> PLAN.
We’ll be mailing out copies to the people who may not be comfortable with reading it on line. There will be frequent updates to Regathering news in Parish emails and newsletters. And, of course, if you have questions after reviewing the Plan, please give either of us a call. Most importantly, we need to continue to be sensitive to each other, keep each other safe, and not inadvertently create situations where someone may feel pressured to participate in a certain way.
With great appreciation for everyone’s past and future efforts to care for each other and our neighbors,
Father Ken Phelps, Rector Kip At Lee, Senior Warden

All Saints Cooks
We are delighted to have Lissi Mojica return as our Guest Chef tomorrow. Lissi will be preparing one of her favorite recipes for us, Ceviche. Her recipe is enclosed along with the zoom invitation for Saturday’s program. A special Thank You to Lissi, who stepped in at the last minute due to a scheduling conflict.
2 lbs of fish (tilapia/shrimp)1 shallot (substitute 3 cloves of garlic)
approximately 10 limes
1 red onion
2 medium tomatoes
1 cup cilantro
1-2 jalapeno peppers
Salt and garlic powder to taste
Cut fish into cubes and place in a shallow pan or dish. Chop the shallot and mix with the cubed fish.
Squeeze limes into the fish. The lime juice should be just above the fish line. Add a little bit of salt at this point to have the fish release some of its own juices.
Cover the dish and place in the refrigerator for about an hour or until the fish turns an opaque white color.
While the fish is in the refrigerator, prepare the remaining ingredients as follows:
slice onion
dice tomatoes
chop cilantro
dice jalapeno pepper (take out seeds if you do not want it to hot)
Take fish out of the refrigerator and add salt and garlic powder to taste. Mix the remaining ingredients.
Enjoy! serve with tortilla chips or with a traditional boiled potato.
