W E L C O M E
Dear saints,
I wonder if you have ever stopped to think about the words we use at the
invitation to communion, 'Whoever you are, wherever you are on your
journey, you are welcome at this table'. In many ways, this invitation is the
conviction that lies at the heart of what it means to be a Christian community
in this place. Here, you are welcome. Here, you are accepted. Here, you are
valued. Here, you have a place to be and a part to play.
This ministry brochure takes that invitation and puts it into a myriad of forms,
trusting that among all that you will find offered here you will be able to find
your place at the table in the community of the saints. There are no
prerequisites to get involved in this church. We need your unique and
infinitely valuable contribution so that we can be the church God calls us to
become. Without your part, your ministry, your decision to love and serve the
Lord here, we are missing something vital.
So, I encourage you to take your time looking over what is happening here.
There's a lot. This is a vibrant and committed church, deep and wide. As you
do, ask God where your deep passion might meet the world's deep needs in
ways great and small. Everyone counts. Everyone belongs here. We are more
when we are one body in Christ. Welcome home.
Peace,
T h e R e v . D r . S i m o n M a i n w a r i n g , Rector

WORSHIP
M I N I S T R I E S
01

E U C H A R I S T
At the Holy Eucharist, we celebrate Jesus’ last supper with his disciples. Also called Holy
Communion, it has been described as “a meal that tastes of freedom” because it comes from Jesus’
commitment to love and liberation, demonstrated throughout his life. This sacred meal rests at the
heart of our Sunday worship services, described below.
8:00 a.m.
We kick-off Sunday mornings at 8:00 a.m. with our most traditional service (Rite I), held in the
small chapel to the side of the main church. There is no music at this brief 45-minute service, which
includes a short message, classic Episcopal prayers, scripture readings, and communion.
9:00 a.m. & 11:15 a.m.
Our largest gatherings of the week, the 9:00 and 11:15 a.m. worship services follow a similar order of
worship (Rite II). At 60-70 minutes, these services feature timely preaching and timeless music,
with pipe organ, congregational hymns, and anthems offered by our choir. We are also joined by
our Youth and Children's Choirs as well as guest classical and jazz instrumentalists for special
occasions throughout the year.
5:30 p.m.
This evening service (Rite II from the Book of Common Prayer) in the chapel is a wonderful way to
close the day and enter the new week spiritually refreshed. Enhanced by evening light and
shadows, this 45-minute worship experience includes a short sermon and communion, with brief
moments of silence and contemplation interspersed. There is no music at this service..

NOONDAY PRAYER
Noonday prayer is a short, spoken service held in the church each week during our program year
Mondays through Wednesdays beginning at 12:05. All are welcome to join the clergy as we pray
for our city and the needs of the world.
CONTEMPLATIVE PRAYER
Contemplative prayer at All Saints’ is very simply an hour of being intentionally present to God.
The group opens sessions on Wednesday at 7:00 p.m., reading aloud from and discussing
contemplative writings. At 7:30 p.m. we begin a 20-minute session of centering prayer as
described by Fr. Thomas Keating, OSB, in his Open Mind, Open Heart.
Feel free to drop in or stay the full hour, but please allow at least 20 minutes for your labyrinth
walk. A few minutes of thoughtful contemplation is a balm and source of strength and at a time in
the world when focused collective prayer can be immensely powerful and where our own path to
the Divine within can be deepened. All are welcome, whether brand new to the practice of
Centering Prayer or longtime practitioners. For more information, contact Gretchen Chateau.
LABYRINTH
The Labyrinth at All Saints’ Ministry welcomes you to the spiritual practice of walking a labyrinth
with trained facilitators and guides as hosts for these special gatherings. Walking the twists and
turns of the single path of the labyrinth is a meditative ritual — a metaphor reflecting the passage
through one's own life with its recurring corners, which must be encountered one step at a time.
For more information, contact Barrie Gibby or Virginia Schenck.
WHOEVER YOU ARE, WHEREVER YOU ARE ON

SERVE IN WORSHIP
ACOLYTES
Any person in grades 6–12 may serve as an
acolyte. Acolytes are trained and then
assigned to a team that will serve
approximately once a month, primarily on
Sundays, alternating between 9:00 and 11:15
a.m. worship services, as well as at festival
services during Christmas, Holy Week, and
Easter.
Contact: Hope Westervelt.
ALTAR GUILD
All Saints’ Altar Guild is responsible for the
care, cleaning and repair of altar linens, the
hangings, silver, brass and candles used in
the church and chapel. The guild is
composed of three teams and two co-chairs.
Each member serves on a rotating basis, one
weekend every three months. Members
meet on the assigned weekend on Saturday
to prepare for the Eucharists on Sunday. On
Sunday, members clean up and put away
chalices, patents, and hangings after the
services.
Contact: Rainey Woodward or
Lynn Bryant.
EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS
Eucharistic Ministers are lay people in the
church who assist the priests with the
distribution of Holy Communion during the
Eucharist. Training is provided to new team
members, usually on a Sunday between the
two main services. Scheduling is on a
voluntary basis via email and Eucharistic
Ministers are needed for all services. Serving
as a Eucharistic Minister provides a special
way to deepen your spiritual connection
during the Eucharist.
Contact:Jan Kibler
FLOWER GUILD
All Saints’ is well-known for its beautiful
flowers! In addition to flowers for weddings
and the Sunday altars, the Flower Guild
provides festal floral decorations for
Christmas Eve, Easter, and All Saints’
Sunday. Joining this team offers a wonderful
education in flower arranging. All levels of
flower talent are welcome!
Contact:Alvin Moore
LECTORS & INTERCESSORS
Do you have a strong reading voice? All
Saints’ Lectors and Intercessors is a group of
about fifty people who make themselves
available to serve at any of the Sunday
services and on occasional week-day
services.
Contact: Ivy Moultrie.
USHERS
All Saints’ Usher Ministry provides a very
valuable ministry of hospitality, friendship,
teamwork and worship assistance services
within our community of faith. Dedicated
members are present to help and
communicate warm welcomes to everyone.
Ushers are cordial and attentive with each
person they greet, make them feel
comfortable and learn names and remember
faces. Assigned monthly ministry duties
include welcoming and seating parishioners,
passing out bulletins, answering questions,
and assisting with collections and
communions during the 9:00 and 11:15am
Sunday services. Ushers also serve as
needed on special occasions and at funerals.
Please contact the All Saints’ Usher Ministry
leader to learn more and to join this terrific
ministry.
Contact:Charlie Rigby or Rick Woodward
VERGERS
The Verger Ministry has its roots in the
earliest days of the Church's history. Today,
vergers are lay volunteers who serve the
parish in a ministry of liturgical coordination
and welcome. The role a verger plays
ultimately has a singular goal - to ensure that
worship takes place in a reverent, dignified,
organized, and seamless manner. This
logistical support allows the priests more
time for pastoral and sacramental
responsibilities. Vergers can expect to serve
at 2-3 services each month and may skip
months as needed. Vergers undergo
extensive training and must complete certain
diocesan required classes concerning safety
of children and youth.

SERVE IN LIFE EVENTS
GUILD OF THE CHRIST CHILD
(BAPTISMAL BANNERS)
The Baptism Banner Committee is always looking for enthusiastic volunteers who enjoy
craft projects to come aboard! Please consider the opportunity of this heartfelt service
to the families of the newly baptized through the gift of a homemade, commemorative
banner. No sewing skills are required, and we provide easy templates to follow. An
estimated time commitment is four hours per banner (give or take, the process gets
more streamlined the more banners you make!), and with enough active volunteers in
our group, you might be asked to make three or four banners per year.
Contact: Kate Mary
WEDDING GUILD
The Wedding Guild is made up of teams of two women who guide brides, grooms,
attendants and families through the rehearsal and through the wedding. The schedule
is made up at the first of the year so the teams know when they will have to serve if a
wedding is planned for that time.
Contact: Lynne Holley
GUILD OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD
The Guild of the Good Shepherd offers a ministry of hospitality to families and friends
of the bereaved. Members of the Guild, or Shepherds, host receptions either before or
after funerals or memorial services. The Guild provides home prepared sandwiches,
cookies and other refreshments. It has been referred to as “the ministry of the pound
cake.” The receptions differ according to the time of day and wishes of the families. No
matter how simple or informal, members of the Guild work hard to make the receptions
as welcoming and attractive as possible.

MUSIC
M I N I S T R I E S

MUSIC MINISTRIES
All Saints’ is blessed to have one of the Episcopal Church’s leading music programs. We
raise our voices – and our hearts – in song. Our six choirs (ages 4 to 104), guest
performers, the All Saints’ Concert Series, and our grand Kenan Memorial Organ
enhance our worship with music’s gift of inspiration, comfort, and healing. For more
information about our programs, please contact the program director:
Kirk Rich, Director of Music

volunteers and professional singers. This
choir provides musical leadership at the

As the primary adult choral ensemble, the
Parish Choir also sings for major festival
services throughout the year, including
Christmas Eve, Easter, and All Saints
Sunday, often with chamber orchestra or
brass.
SCHOLA
The Schola is a chamber choir of auditioned
singers selected from the Parish Choir. This
ensemble provides musical leadership at the
11:15 am service during the program year,
often presenting a full choral mass in addition
to anthems and motets. The ensemble sings
special services throughout the year,
including the annual Lessons and Carols on
Christmas Eve.
SUMMER CHOIR
The Summer Choir is open to auditioned
singers who cannot attend weekly
rehearsals during the program year. This
ensemble rehearses on Sunday mornings
just before the 10 am service between
Memorial Day and mid-August.
ALL SAINTS’ CONCERT SERIES
The Concert Series enriches the life of the
parish through a wide variety of
performances throughout the year. Featured
artists have included professional choral
ensembles and collegiate choirs, concert
organists, seasoned instrumental musicians,
early music ensembles, and opera singers.
Lunchtime concerts in the Kennedy
Courtyard have expanded to feature local
artists, jazz bands, and our partnership with
Challenge the Stats, empowering musicians
of color in our community.
YOUTH AND CHILDREN
CHILDREN'S CHOIRS
Our campus rings with the sounds of youthful
voices singing. All Saints’ has an active choir
program, inviting children in grades PreK
through Twelfth, to sing and learn songs of faith
through age-appropriate musical experiences
and training. We offer Cherub Choir for PreK-
Kindergarten, Primary Choir for grades 1 & 2,
Junior Choir for grades 3-6, and Junior
Handbells for grades 4-6. All choirs rehearse
weekly throughout the school year and provide
special music for Sunday worship and other
events in the life of All Saints’ parish. We learn
about the music of the church through the
singing of hymns and liturgy. All our children’s
choirs wear robes. As they progress through the
choirs, children earn beads for their cross
necklaces, which are worn with the robe once
they begin Junior Choir (3rd grade).
YOUTH CHOIR
Come join this stellar choir at practice on Sunday
afternoons as we sing challenging music of many
styles (Renaissance to Baroque to Classical to
Gospel) from around the world, singing in unison,
two, three, and four-part harmony. We also
travel out of town each year to perform,
spending the weekend singing and having fun.
Youth are also invited to ring handbells! Notereading
is helpful; ability to count to eight
required! Commitment and regular attendance
are a must for those wishing to ring with these
groups. Join us!

ADULT FORMATION
Adult Formation at All Saints’ seeks to invite the Holy Spirit’s transformation in our lives,
deepening our Christian faith for the sake of the world. Organized into fall and spring
offerings, opportunities for formation range from large-group speaker or dialogue
gatherings in our parish hall to more intimate classes both in-person and online. We
seek to be contextual theologians, learning from and for the life of the world around us,
especially in this city God calls us to love and serve.
Contact: Lynda Herrig, Simon Mainwaring, or Rebecca Parker
ADULT FORMATION COMMITTEE
The Adult Formation Committee meets to imagine and plan adult formation offerings for
Sundays through the program year and coordinates with other church groups to
facilitate offerings beyond Sunday mornings.
Contact: Simon Mainwaring
ADULT INQUIRERS CLASS
This class is designed for people who are interested in learning more about the Christian
faith as it is expressed in the Episcopal Church. Meeting on Wednesday nights, the 4-
week class is led by the Rector and follows a format that enables people to learn from
and about one another as well as pursue questions of faith at a deeper level.
Participants might include people interested in growing in their faith or in their
connection to the church, people interested in being confirmed or received into the
Episcopal Church, or just folks who want to grow in community with others. Classes are
offered twice a year: once in the Fall and once in the Spring.
Contact: Tracey Sage
ADULT PILGRIMAGE
Adult pilgrimage is an opportunity for the sacred journey that changes us within by
inviting us to journey into the world God has made. Pilgrimages are as local as weekend
journeys across state lines to Selma and Montgomery, AL, and as international as multiweek
voyages to Israel, Jordan, Greece, and Turkey.

ARTS THEOLOGY
ADULT FORMATION
Arts Theology provides opportunities for All Saints’ parishioners to explore the Atlanta

JESUS ON THE FRONT
PAGE
Jesus on the Front Page is a
nonpartisan weekly reflection on a
current news story. Meeting on
Sundays from 9-9:50 a.m. in Parish
House (P305/P306), we explore
how we, as a community of faithful
Christians, are called to respond to
the world this story offers us?
What brokenness is revealed, what
reveals grace, how is this our story,
where is God in this story? Are we
called to pray differently, to think
differently, to act differently?

religious writings, occasional films and even a
field trip or two. We meet weekly on
Wednesdays from 5 to 6 pm, beginning in
September and going through May. There is no
attendance requirement for joining Jezebels,
and we always welcome previous members after
an absence. We take turns leading the weekly
discussion of a portion of the current book

A formation series where parents with kids at
any stage or age can get together to share
wisdom, questions, concerns, about this
incredible journey we are on together with the
Holy Spirit. We take a book or topic and learn

journey. We learn and practice noticing God in
our life, praying and playing together, and
sharing our faith with our children.
Contact: Kathy Roberts
POPCORN THEOLOGY
Popcorn Theology meets monthly
throughout the year, usually on the third or
fourth Friday of the month in the Ross Room
from 7-9:30 p.m. (ending time may be earlier
depending on length of movie). When
possible, it is the same night as the youth
Attic Invasion in hopes that parents may
want to stay on campus and watch a movie
in the community of parishioners. Movies can
be any genre or topic that leads to an
interesting discussion afterwards. We aim to
have a good variety of movies and discussion
leaders. Popcorn is provided. All else is
BYOB.
Contact: Ann Stuart Pearce or Ellen Porter
SPORTS & SPIRITUALITY
Please join in conversation on the 3rd Thursday
of each month from 7:00-8:00 p.m. online via
Zoom as we begin each session by talking
about sports and then using humor (perhaps
irony) to transition the conversation to
spirituality. Bring your favorite sports story
from any sport of your choice. Be part of a
joyful experience that will bring Glory to God -
especially while we learn from those who
compete "against" each other. These
conversations will be online via Zoom because
they are short in nature (1 hour) and held during
early evening hours during the weekday.
Contact: Paul Terlemezian
THE JOURNEY
The Journey with the Rev. Karen Evans is a Bible
study group that meets Mondays at 11:00 AM.
We study one book at a time, exploring the
history, context, and uniqueness of each book.
We also talk about what each passage has to
say to us today and how it builds our faith. The
only requirement is that you have a Bible
(although if it has footnotes so much the
better). The group meets via Zoom and the link
is sent weekly to those registered for the class.
Contact: Karen Evans
All Saints’ will
challenge you to
ask questions, seek
answers, find your
spiritual path, and
grow together
within a supporting,
loving community.

CHILDREN'S MINISTRIES
We want our children to know from day one that they are known and loved, that they matter, and
that they are called to join with God's people in building a more beloved community—where
justice, kindness, and compassion prevail and everyone is accepted for who they are. We also
believe that children have a natural sense of spirituality and that faith is caught more than taught.
We offer programming each week to engage our kids in the stories, teachings, and love of Jesus
to help build the faith that is already within them.

LITTLE SAINTS
AGES: BIRTH - 4
LITTLE SAINTS’ NURSERY & CHILD CARE
SUNDAY - 8:30 A.M.–12:30 P.M., 1ST FLOOR, THE PRITCHETT CHILDREN’S CENTER
Our care and concern for our youngest members begins in the Nursery proper. All Saints’ is
blessed to have top quality rooms, furnishings and equipment for the care of even the youngest
infants. We are also blessed to have a competent and caring Sunday morning paid staff with years
of experience here at All Saints’. The guiding principles for nursery care begin with our
commitment to offering loving, safe, compassionate and Christ-like care.
LITTLE SAINTS’ CHURCH
SUNDAY - 9:15–9:35 A.M., FIRST FLOOR, THE PRITCHETT CHILDREN’S CENTER
Our youngest saints go to Little Saints’ Church as they are able and enjoy the Bible stories
through song, dance, play, and their imagination. A short worship service is led by parent
volunteers on a rotational basis using our curriculum. Parents receive a family page with ideas to
continue the learning at home with their child. Children then return to their Nursery rooms for a
snack and a Sunday School lesson/craft.
LITTLE SAINTS’ PICNICS/PRAYGROUND DATES
As the newest members of our family ministries, you may not know many other folks with little
ones yet. These get togethers are a great way to meet other families with kids of the same age,
learn about all the opportunities to serve and enjoy our Children’s and Youth programs and
events, and make ‘church friends’ that will make your kids (and you!) happy to return each
Sunday.
RED APRONS
The Red Aprons are volunteers who help in the nursery classrooms (infants through three-yearolds)
and also as greeters to welcome families to the nursery. Volunteers are needed on a
rotational basis throughout the school year.

GATHERING TIME
SUNDAY - 8:30 A.M.– 9:00 A.M., 2ND FLOOR,
KENAN COMMONS, THE PRITCHETT
CHILDREN’S CENTER
Gathering Time is a time for arts and crafts,
songs and music, and fellowship as everyone
arrives for the service.
CHILDREN’S CHURCH
SUNDAY - 9:00–9:30 A.M., 2ND FLOOR,
CHILDREN’S CHAPEL, THE PRITCHETT
CHILDREN’S CENTER
Children’s Church worship is led by the
Children’s Ministries Director, Kathy Roberts,
and the Children’s Choir Director, Karol
Kimmell. Parent volunteers act of Greeters, to
welcome families and help kids sign in, and as
Gatherers, to help during the Gathering time
and during the worship service. The service
includes music, prayers, a creed and blessings
that are appropriate for children and prepare
them for being an active participant in ‘big
Church’. Children join their parents in the main
church during the announcements, just after
the Peace (save them a seat and keep standing
until they find you!). Children older than third
grade can attend as a Shepherd and help with
the younger kids.
V A C A T I O N B I B L E S C H O O L
EARLY JUNE
We hold a week-long VBS each year around
the first week of June. Volunteers are needed
in each area: Science, Art, Bible Stories, and
Recreation. We also need snack helpers,
greeters, decorators, set up and clean up, and
group leaders. It is a fast-paced, fun week for
all with a deeper dive into some of our Bible
stories and characters.
CHILDREN
AGES: KINDERGARTEN - 5TH GRADE
C H I L D R E N ’ S F O R M A T I O N
The All Saints’ rotation schedule encompasses
a four-year cycle for Spark and a two-year
cycle for Connect, with each cycle covering
foundational Old Testament and New
Testament stories. Center
SPARK (K-3RD GRADE)
SUNDAY - 10:20–11:05 A.M., 2ND FLOOR,
THE PRITCHETT CHILDREN’S CENTER
During four years in Spark, the children will
learn the names and stories of important
figures of our Christian faith. We want to
encourage children to turn to the Bible for
knowledge and guidance, now and throughout
their lives. Our hope is that the children will be
able to tell these stories to others, make a
connection for how the story is relevant in
their lives, and take ownership of the message
of God’s love. To reach different learning
styles, each room incorporates different
activities. These activities include arts and
crafts, drama, storytelling, cooking (and
eating!), science experiments, and videos on
the story.
CLUB 45 (4TH AND 5TH GRADES)
SUNDAY - 10:20–11:05 A.M., 2ND FLOOR,
THE PRITCHETT CHILDREN’S CENTER
Club 45 two year program taking children on
a deeper dive into familiar stories using the
Connect curriculum, which makes
connections across stories and throughout
the Bible. The “tween” years are unique and
deserve a unique and quirky curriculum that
recognizes that they are no longer young
children and not yet youth. Kids receive their
own Connect Bible to use in class, decorate,
and write their notes and ideas within. After
the 2nd year of Club 45, there is a Moving Up
Ceremony to mark this milestone, their time
in Children’s Ministries and their journey
upstairs to the Youth floor.
S P E C I A L C H I L D R E N ' S E V E N T S
Throughout the year, we have lots of special events for the children that require volunteers to help teach,
lead, prepare crafts, set up/clean up, prepare food, and more. You do not have to have a child to help our
youngest Saints – in fact, the more we do cross-generationally, the more we are living out our Baptismal
vows. These include: Backpack Buddies, End of Summer parties, Fall Fun Days, Thanksgiving Toiletry Bag
Hand Out, The Advent Event, St. Nicholas Celebration, Christmas Pageant, Family Stations of the
Cross/Walk Through Holy Week, Easter Day events, Pentecost Event, Moving Up Celebrations, End-of-
Year parties, Pop Up Kindness Shops, Sandwich Making Service Days, and more.

YOUTH MINISTRIES
YOUTH FORMATION
SUNDAYS, 10:15–11:05 A.M., THE ATTIC, PRITCHETT CHILDREN’S CENTER
GRADES 6-12
Youth Formation is an important, engaging ministry for teens. At All Saints’, Sunday formation
helps students look at issues around living into their baptism and being faithful followers of Christ.
Youth are given the opportunity to explore their faith commitment, ask questions, and journey
with their teachers while learning what it means to follow Jesus in this world.
Contact: Hope Westervelt
6TH GRADE
After spending grades K–5 exploring
scripture, 6th graders spend a year revisiting
the basics of the Christian faith through a
catechism-based curriculum that covers
topics.
YOUTH CONFIRMATION:
8TH GRADE
During the confirmation process, each teenager
decides if they want to make an adult
affirmation of their Christian faith. Confirmation
at All Saints’ is really a four-year curriculum
that takes place during Christian formation
between grades 6–10. Throughout the student’s
8th grade year, the staff at All Saints’ teach 10
confirmation classes. Classes cover the Old and
New Testaments, church history,
the sacraments, the creeds, and the Book of
Common Prayer. Attendance at classes is
required. If your child Is in the 8th grade or
older and wishes to be confirmed, he or she
must attend nine of the ten classes, in addition
to attending the confirmation rehearsal.
RITE 13: 7TH GRADE
The Rite 13 class includes a closer look at
scripture through the Rite 13 curriculum,
which uses fun activities, discussion, and
reflection to dive deeper into faith. In Sunday
worship, Rite 13 also includes a liturgical
celebration to acknowledge that each child is
entering adolescence and closer to
adulthood.
9TH - 12TH GRADE
Our high school students follow the Journey
to Adulthood (J2A) curriculum throughout
the program year. J2A focuses on
“Spirituality, Society, and Self”—
corresponding to the Biblical call to love God
and to love our neighbors as ourselves.

Once a month on Friday night from 7-9pm
Middle School Attic Invasion is a chance for
our middle schoolers to have full reign over
the The Attic, with an emphasis on making
friends and having fun. We play crazy games
in the gym, watch movies, and enjoy dinner

things to look forward to this year include
exploring different religious traditions,
service projects benefiting our core
ministries, a multitude of celebration parties,
and even a karaoke night! Dinner is always
included.
YOUTH TRIPS
THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
Youth trips are a way for our 6th-12th
graders to build community and grow
deeper in their faith while on the road! Trips
can be in town and include going to Six
Flags, White Water, museums, and other
local places. They can also be out of town,

is to provide intergenerational
opportunities along with making sure we
are supportive of these organizations in
as many ways as possible. The Service
Committee enables these leaders to
interact with one another and share best
practices. So much of what we do on
our block has everything to do with

Community for six to nine months,
building a new life without addiction and
learning new life skills to enable their

program, the men move to Sterne House,
a drug-free residence. Parishioners can
volunteer primarily by preparing supper
for the men on Mondays and then sitting
down and breaking bread with them.

make connections. We will gather up to six
times per year beginning in September and
going through May.
