Welcome to All Saints Anglican Church
All Saints was founded in 2007 in order to provide a church home where people of all ages and abilities can grow in their knowledge and love of the Lord. We are a church that is both Biblical and Apostolic: Biblical, for we consider the Bible to be the ultimate standard of our faith; Apostolic, since our roots lie in the faith and practice of the early Christian church (the church of the Apostles). We are a worshiping community in the Anglican tradition—that is one whose roots lie in the Church of England. Anglican churches are the third largest group of Christian churches in the world today after the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Communities.

The Feasts and seasons of the Church from Easter through Trinity Sunday
Easter is the celebration of the founding act of the Christian faith—the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead (Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, John 20-21). As such it is the most ancient and primary feast of the Church year. Services are marked by an abundance of joy and the ancient acclamation: "Alleluia" (Praise the Lord). You will also find in the sanctuary a "Paschal" candle symbolizing the light of Christ. The term "Pascha" denotes Easter as the Christian "Passover."
Easter Sunday is a "floating" holiday—always the Sunday after the first full moon of Spring. As such it can occur anytime between March 22 and April 25. The season of Easter lasts for 50 days to commemorate the time of our Lord’s appearing to his disciples following his resurrection (Acts 1.3) as well as their days of waiting with anticipation for the promised gift of the Holy Spirit (Luke 24.49).
On the 40th day after Easter (always a Thursday) the Church commemorates Jesus’ bodily Ascension into heaven (Acts 1.9) where he has gone to prepare a place for us (John 14.2) and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty (Matthew 26.64, Colossians 3.1, Hebrews 12.2).
The feast of Pentecost (Acts 2.1-13) occurs ten days after the Ascension (on Sunday). Pentecost, which is often referred to as the "Birthday of the Church," ranks next to Easter in importance and marks the day on which our Lord fulfilled his promise to send the Holy Spirit to his followers (John 16.7). The first fruits of the infant Church’s mission to the world produced through the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit are recounted in the second chapter of the book of Acts.
On Trinity Sunday (one week after Pentecost), we bring to a close the roughly half-year cycle where the Church rehearses the events of Jesus' life: his birth through his death, resurrection, ascension and the giving of the Holy Spirit. On this day we celebrate that we have now been given the full revelation of God to humankind as Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28.19)—one God in three persons.
